I had convinced myself that I would have to live with my excess weight and related health issues. A friend referred me to Maria Glad. I was somewhat sceptical that my experience would be another dead end. I couldn't have been more mistaken. Maria has vast experience in nutritional and weight loss counseling. She is a great "symptom detective" She identified that I had dairy intolerance that had caused years of unhealthy gut health. Since eliminating dairy from my diet I am symptom free! Maria has supported my Ketogenic Lifestyle and provides great coaching as I continue to make progress towards my long term goals. The most significant goal so far is that I no longer have type 2 diabetes and am off all anti-diabetic medications. I'm confident that I will be successful in achieving my goals for the first time in years. Maria also referred me to physical therapy which has made a significant improvement in fitness and mobility. I highly recommend Glad Health for anyone looking for nutritional and or weight loss counseling. Tina S

Matt is constantly following up with me and making sure the plan is still working and cheering me on every step of the way.

We had our session via google meet which I had never used before, but it was very easy to use and the video/audio quality was very clear and did not cut out at all. Using the information I submitted on my intake form, he did a comprehensive review of my current diet, activity level, medications, and addressed any other concerns I had noted. He helped me set personal goals that are attainable and helped me create a plan to achieve those goals. It was very personalized, as he tailored it to what I enjoy/am comfortable with doing. Matt is a great listener and maintained a very calm approach. It was so easy to talk to him! He sent me my personalized plans on how to reach my goals after our video session. I definitely look forward to working with Matt in the future!

And while you have specific worksheets, exercises etc. each session was completely tailored to what I needed, on the spot. There is nothing methodical about your approach. And that infused an energy into our sessions that was profound. I feel like I experienced a spiritual growth spurt every time I had a session with you!!!! Whereas other forms of therapy and healing felt like temporary relief, I never experienced true transformation, in every session, as I have with you. I truly know, not just believe, but KNOW that you have been the catalyst to what appears to be the most enlightening, fulfilling and exciting time of my life. Thank you for sharing your wisdom so generously and putting so much care and energy into my healing. And there's much more to come I am sure! Forever grateful...

I could feel it from my head to my toes after the first visit but I never dreamt that people would be able to actually see the outward sign. So many layers have been pulled back like peeling an onion. She's so knowledgeable and can explain what she is doing in a 101 version which is also very helpful. Not only is she skilled at acupuncture but she is tenacious on finding an herb that fits uniquely the person she is treating. I'm over the moon happy with the results thus far!

She applies several treatments every session, from cupping to acupuncture to massage, all in one session.

Also, the bed she uses is so incredibly soft! I 100% recommend her!

The moment I met Leah, I knew I was in good hands. She is the epitome of calm, collected, and down-to-earth. At first I was worried that perhaps I wouldn't be capable of implementing the physical and nutritional lifestyle changes necessary to take control of my health. But I was wrong. Leah made it so fun and easy to talk through my health concerns, identify areas of focus and chart a map for navigating my new path. She is so thorough in her methodology, digging deep to look into your past while planning for the future. She does her research, and tailors each session to your needs and concerns. Plus, the fact that she doesn't just talk the talk, but walks the walk each and every day lends even more credibility to her work In just two month's time, I was able to realign my diet, diversify and increase my fitness regimen, and prioritize my time according to what is truly important to me. I feel healthier and stronger, but most of all I feel as though I am finally living authentically from the inside out. No matter where you are on your journey, Leah can help guide and support you on your way. She is the cheerleader on your shoulder you always wished you had!

Although at age 65 my health issues were very different, I found in Leah the same willingness to meet me right where I was and focus on my particular concerns. I wasn't sure how consulting over the phone would work (I live in Washington state), and was pleased at how easy it was to share things with Leah. She is an excellent listener, and she seems genuinely interested in each person's story. With her wealth of knowledge and experience, she goes to work for each client, researching issues and following up with multiple ideas and solutions to choose from. In just a few sessions, I was able to make several important changes to my diet, and am finding that I can cut back on or eliminate several medications I'd been taking for years! If you've been wanting more information about your health than doctors have time to provide, Leah is your encouraging ally on the path to wellness!

After one session, the entire right side of my face became un-clenched (and "unlocked" -- those with TMJ will know what I'm talking about). I cannot believe the huge improvement. I will definitely be going back to Wildwood Medicine (continued treatment is recommended, at least for a few weeks) for both this issue and other issues as well. Also, there are several things I really love about this clinic: -- EXTREMELY professional staff; I work in the healthcare industry, and I can say with confidence that the patient care and facilities here are top-notch -- They take credit/debit cards (unlike many other acupuncture places) -- They allow walk-ins! -- Sliding scale from $20-40 for each regular visit ($30-50 the first visit). This is SO much more affordable than the average practice, both in Maine and nationally. -- Beautiful, clean building -- Extremely knowledgeable acupuncturist (I think it definitely helps that he's a licensed physical therapist, too). Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be returning!

In just a few sessions, Dr. Sarah helped relieve the shooting pains, resolved the numbness in my wrists, and enabled me to begin an exercise program -- something that hadn't been possible before.

Dr. Sarah's clinical expertise is exceptional and reflects a highly advanced understanding of complex conditions. Her genuine care and encouragement continually motivated me to keep improving. A few months later, under Dr. Sarah's care, my health and mobility are on a completely different level -- I'm able to function, stay active, and continue to get stronger. Dr. Sarah is inspirational and cares deeply about her patients; every time I left her sessions, I felt less pain, more strength, and renewed motivation. Her rates are very competitive for the incredible care and results she provides. I'm deeply grateful for Dr. Sarah's exceptional skill, compassion, and dedication in helping me recover and truly thrive.
