I truly can't say enough about Aleah and I feel so grateful to have met her. When we first met…read moreAleah, my daughter (then 5 years old) had suffered from 8 cases of strep throat in the last 9 months and had been overloaded with antibiotics. She had many health issues since birth and had been seen by multiple specialists at Children's Hospital and UCSF. At our inital consultation, I expressed my concerns, exhaustions and went over her health history. I walked out of her office with a list of labs to request from her pediatrician and a new hope of the possibility to find and treat the underlying conditions causing her severe symptoms. Her pediatrician ran the tests without questions since we were regulars in her office and had not found a solution. After those tests, we had answers! I was so relieved! Again we were sent to specialists at UCSF, none of which could help. Back with Aleah, she discovered that my daughter was suffering from leaky gut syndrome, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, Epstein Barr virus, and some liver damage. She promptly put us on a protocol that honestly, at first, seemed overwhelming but Aleah was there EVERY single step of the way, even when I called her crying in the store trying to figure out what to buy. She never pressured me and even when I said I couldn't afford to do it all, she walked me through each step that I could. We now feel so empowered knowing how to treat the root causes instead of the symptoms. With each step, where we would have gone for antibiotics or medications, I put my full trust in Aleah to guide us through without them and as hard as it was, her protocols have gotten us thru every single time healthier and stronger. Aleah is truly magical and I literally recommend her to every client and family member spending time, money and energy in treating their confusing symptoms so that they can feel the same sense of freedom in treating the root cause. Rest assured, you're in amazing healing arms with Aleah Howington.

I recommend Biodynamic Natural Healing with Aleah to absolutely anyone who is looking to improve…read moretheir health in any way- from small things to the most difficult symptoms and challenges with your body. I started suffering from stroke-like migraines and was dealing with constant fatigue and depression. My husband was suffering from the excess weight he had put on, body cramps, sciatica, irregular sleep, and hemorrhoids. Since we started working with her the majority of our symptoms have completely disappeared. I have not had migraine since and no longer feel tired or depressed, I wake up everyday ready to take on challenges and the world. My husband's hemorrhoids are gone and very rarely will he have a cramp and he practically never has a sciatic episode anymore. Now we both sleep extremely well at night and have gained so much energy and mental clarity during the day. And, I should mention, we have lost a combined total of 65 lbs. so far! Our overall body composition is so different and becoming lighter has taken a lot of stress and anxiety away- physically, emotionally and mentally. The weight management program works ridiculously well and will have you feeling your best every single day. None of our success and current state of health would have been possible without Aleah and her constant support and knowledge. She is so kind and has been such an inspiration, and has literally given us our lives back. Thank you, Aleah, you are a rockstar!

I enjoy getting to know my doctors, nurses, gynecologist, Phlebotomist, and staff at the Arcata…read morelocation. I appreciate that currently the staff is allowing folks who wish to wait outside or sit in the hallways can do so, in limited amounts of course. Currently, any doctors appointments are done via zoom or via phone. For the most part, those phone doctor appointments used to intimidate me. But after doing a couple of doctor appointments via phone I have felt like I have been able to take as much time as I needed during the appointments and I did not feel rushed discussing concerns with my doctor. As far as the my chart app goes I definitely feel like it's come along way since it was first develop now you can make appointments virtually, sent any questions and concerns, for the first time after Covid I was able to show proof that my TB test was negative and much more. More recently I came to the clinic to have a gynecologist appointment. The doctor Tara Moss was so patient, calming and respectful.

It was a very basic thing to do and my girlfriend who works in medical coding heard they didn't order the test and she was flabbergasted. Result was I ended up in the emergency room a week later with a life threatening problem and spent four days in the hospital. ER doctors almost had me flown to San Francisco. Another time I had a grumpy doctor who had to fit me into his schedule due to the front office insisting I had to make a same day appointment for getting a cast. The doctor didn't believe me and said "I don't see why you people come here I guess you just want to save money". He then proceeded to wrap my arm ignoring the recommendation of the ER doctor and twisted my arm repeatedly. He used the wrong tape the first attempt, forgot the sock the second attempt. His demeanor softened the third time and he decided if he did the wrap differently I would be in less pain. It felt like I was being intentionally tortured. He later apologized for delaying getting my records to the specialist. I ended up in surgery after the bone had started to heal. There is more but this is getting long. Humboldt County has a provider shortage and I have been unable to find another each time I try. Getting through to the office during business hours with an urgent question is nearly impossible, and expect to wait at least two days before the team gets your question to the provider. Includes very high fever and trying to get a refill on a life critical prescription. I really wish I had an alternative.

I hear he is a temp employee with no bedside manner, doesn't talk, very abrupt. The wait with an appointment is 2-3 hours. Fancy building, but lacking in professionalism.
