Stories

In their own words.

These are people I've had the privilege of walking alongside. They were generous enough to share their stories so that someone reading this — maybe you — might feel a little less alone.

Aside from becoming a father and grandfather, working with Anne has been one of the best happenings in my life. I was a long time Head Coach at one of the most recognized Universities in the world and an Olympic Coach. Shortly after I retired, a few years ago I was infected with Lyme Disease. I was being treated at one of America's most respected hospitals, I was frustrated with the results and felt there has got to be a better solution. After chatting with a close friend he recommended contacting Anne. Consequently I reached out to her and she was a Godsend, she saved my health and possibly my life.

I was in excruciating pain, I could barely get from my bed to the bathroom, kitchen and recliner. Anne took me under her wing, she educated me, gave me several great recommendations for books, podcasts and natural remedies etc. She was the best mentor one could have and I will be eternally grateful for her wisdom and sincerity. I felt like my recovery was her highest priority.

I already had good eating habits but her influence got me eating even healthier and I continue doing so. I even lost a few pounds. I am completely recovered and I'm looking forward to a happy, healthy future.

Thank you and God Bless you Anne!

I've known Anne for over 20 years and know very well how thorough she investigates anything she's interested in knowing well. Observing how she tackled her own health issues she honestly could have a PhD in integrative health, so I was compelled to ask her for help after I had been suffering with my own health issues. My body had always been so good at healing itself, however for several years I'd been having increasing amount of pain in my joints and discomfort in my digestive system and the advice I was receiving from my GP didn't seem to be helping.

Working with Anne was wonderful. She made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. I now enjoy all the things I used to do and have a new appreciation and understanding of my body and how different foods and the environment affect me. I am so grateful to her for her loving patience and wisdom. She listened to me in a way my doctor didn't. She gave me valuable information that pointed me in the right direction, and though I did work with my doctor as well, it was Anne who led me on the path to healing my body, and I believe the key was trusting what she told me and doing what she recommended.

Thank you Anne for my new lease on life!

Anne is absolutely amazing at helping others localize and find resolution to an individual's health challenges, and just plain improving one's health! I have had chronic skin allergies and a natural sensitivity to environmental pollutants since a very young age. Through Anne's guidance and expertise I have found a balance which helps my body thrive. Recently my family and I were exposed to Covid-19 and spent 84 days battling for our lives, we are on the mend, and it will probably take 6 months to recover fully, yet Anne has been there checking in with wisdom and guiding us back to good health. So grateful for her and the support and knowledge she has to offer, not to mention her fun spunk!

Thank you Anne for utilizing your trial with Lyme disease to help others, your passion is unparalleled.

I am writing to highly recommend Anne Gaarenstroom as a health coach. During my wellness journey of having Lyme disease, Epstein Barr, Mast Cell Activation syndrome, depression and anxiety, her medical knowledge, encouragement and personal experience helped me to move forward.

Anne is incredibly personable and approachable. She fosters a positive environment that encouraged me to push myself.

I believe Anne would be an invaluable asset to your healing journey.
