“At 45 I started to struggle with some hormonal issues that I chalked up to the likelihood that I was entering peri-menopause. I started to experience extreme irritability, mood swings, hot flashes, gut issues and food cravings during PMS. This started around 44 actually and has progressively gotten worse and eventually also developed low energy, atypical belly fat and a foggy brain feeling all of the time. I was convinced that I was ready to start some kind of hormone replacement therapy and remembered about my friend Sandi! So I reached out and told her about my issues and she thought she could help. Sandi identified one major culprit in my diet. I was a daily soy latte drinker. Apparently soy and hormones don’t play well! I eliminated the soy and coffee and switched to tea and made some other dietary changes while also adding Sandi’s female tincture. It took about 2 months to work out of my system but I was AMAZED at how literally I woke up one day feeling like myself again! My energy was back, belly felt better, mood stabilized and hot flashes gone! I waited another month before declaring Sandi a miracle  worker, which I have now officially titled her!”

“For two years I battled Pancreatitis, had numerous visits to hospitals around the country (voluntary and involuntary), indescribable pain, and a diet so limited I struggled every day to find a balance between nourishment and less pain. I had many surgical procedures, many thousands of dollars in medical bills, had my gallbladder unnecessarily removed, all to be given answers like “we don’t know”, or just unreturned phone calls. I had given up completely, as had the doctors on me. About that time my wonderful mother introduced me to Sandi. Within a month on Sandi’s regimen the attacks ceased completely, and I have been living, eating, and drinking normally, with no more pain. I would highly recommend Sandi for  this and any other ailment.”

“Sandi helped me to walk through some of the most painful, deep-seated experiences of my life. It was through creating this safe space that I was able to find true healing in many areas of my life journey. Her ability to make people feel safe and secure in the midst of processing emotional pain makes her an incredibly valuable person for anyone looking to find meaningful healing in their life. I highly recommend Sandi to anyone looking to process their hurts and find a more  fulfilling sense of peace.”

“It was 5 1/2 years ago when my husband injured his back. He wasn’t at work, he was simply vacuuming the bedroom rugs after a long day of hunting. There was nothing that took his pain away or made the muscles in his back feel better until we consulted with Sandi. Her recommendations included an ointment along with oral supplements. These combined, over a short period of time began to do the trick. Even after surgery to fuse his lower lumbar my husband continued using the natural herbal products which seemed to help expedite his healing. There’s nothing  like using natural substances to help our bodies heal! — feeling grateful.”

“After taking a .25 mg dose of Xanax off and on for 10+ yrs, I was ready to get rid of the “crutch” of that drug and the roller coaster cycle it would create when I would start taking it every day.  Once your body gets used to taking it everyday, even a small dose, there is a withdrawal and rebound nervousness that leads to needing more.  I decided that with the help of Sandi’s herbal tinctures I could live better without taking Xanax at all ever again!  Along with the herbal support, she directed me to a website for those withdrawing from benzodiazepines so I could read about the long term side effects, and how to safely taper off them.  After reading about the side effects, I was even more convinced to stop them completely.  Since I was only taking 1/2 of .25 twice a day, the tapering wasn’t difficult, but Sandi’s herbal tinctures have really helped make the withdrawal go easier since one gives a very subtle relaxing of the nervous system right away, and the other works well to keep your nervous system less reactive longer term.  It has been about 6 weeks now, and I feel my nervous system is much more stable without the ups and downs. I’m very thankful to have met Sandi through a friend, and to know I have a natural source for helping in my wellness journey through her herbs, personalized research and abundant information, and her emotional wellness sessions. Thank you Sandi!”

“I began my path towards natural healing after my first year of college. I was exhausted and worn out after years of a subtle amount of stress that I never thought was affecting me. The summer after my freshman year, I never felt rested regardless of how many hours I slept. After a consultation with Sandi, she helped me realize that I had chronic fatigue and put me on a regimen to strengthen my adrenals. After two weeks, I felt like I was alive again. It was at this point that I was sold on herbalism, and especially on Sand’s wisdom and knowledge of herbal recommendations and her holistic approach to health. Years later, I approached Ms. Casciato regarding acne that seemed to be mainly hormonal. She gave me an herbal formula to try a week before my monthly cycle, and it fixed my acne problem! I was amazed since I had never been able to find any acne solutions that worked specifically for the hormonal imbalance. I love that Sandi uses whole herbs to nourish the body, that she provides solid recommendations that deal with the mental, emotional, and physical side of health. I recommend her with every healthy  bone in my body.”

“I presented Sandi Casciato with ‘little’ challenges, some of which I’d been dealing with for years, but when compiled, translated into bigger problems; among them: insomnia, mouth ulcers, headaches, dry patches on my skin, rashes on my joints, and bowel issues. She provided a questionnaire interview and follow-up consultation of recommendations, primarily consisting of raw / healthy nutritional recommendations, natural supplements and exercise in the outdoors. In 30 days, nearly all of my symptoms subsided. Her compassion for and interest in people, coupled with her passion as a Master Herbalist, made a significant, positive  difference in my quality of life.” 

~ Rebecca, Pittsburgh, PA

“I have been taking herbs recommended by Sandi for over a year now and have seen great improvement with my overall stress. One herbal formula has helped me with my job as a nurse working 12 hr shifts. Nursing can be a very intense and stressful job and I take the formula prior to going to work. It has definitely made a difference in how I feel! Another formula has helped make my joints feel less  painful and ache less.”

“Sandi had been a client of mine for years and had always intrigued me with her knowledge of herbs and their healing powers. One year in particular, I had expressed to her my concern about some localized swelling and pain that my doctors could not find the cause, along with a history of anxiety. After a consultation, Sandi presented me with a wellness plan that included herbs and small changes to my daily routines that made a huge impact on my health and well being. After about 6 weeks, her plan made such a difference my husband also sought out her advice. Now our whole house is living a clean diet and is healthier  than ever thanks to Sandi.”

“As an avid running in my 50’s, I’m running into numerous issues maintaining my training schedule. Knee pain and depleted energy level my primary issues. Sandi’s recommendations have allowed me to get back on track. I’m using several herbal formulas and eating better. Sandi really cares and her  recommendations have been life changing.”

~ Kathy, Cardiff, CA

“During a particularly stressful time in my life, I started using two herbal formulas that Sandi recommended, which significantly helped my body cope with the big city environment I had just moved into, as well as the anxiety that came with starting a new job. The herbal remedies helped me get through a rough time without the use of addictive substances or potentially harmful pharmaceutical drugs. I now feel more balanced and emotionally healthy in general, and I am grateful to have  natural methods as options for dealing with life’s anxieties.”

“I have had great results using an herbal formula that Sandi created. I noticed that my migraines are much less severe when I use it. Instead of getting to the point where I need to sit in a dark room and feel nauseous, it ends up being just a dull pain that is much more manageable. Also, I like the way it makes me feel when I’m  not experiencing migraines.”

“Freedom! That is what I felt after several sessions of emotional counseling.  I believe that we all carry things from our past that keep us from experiencing abundant life. Emotional wellness counseling gets to the heart of the matter. Sandi, a natural healer, uses her wisdom and grace to gently guide her clients  to new life. We can experience life with a new heart.  I know I did.”
