Nutrition Response Testing is a biofeedback technique that uses muscle testing, or kinesiology, to access information about the internal functions of the body. Contacting neurological reflexes and acupuncture points on the surface of the body that relate to the state of health in each and every organ, and function, of the body quickly and accurately identifies area’s that are not functioning optimally and need attention.
A whole food and/or herbal supplementation program is then designed specifically for your body’s current nutritional needs, providing the raw materials the body needs to assist and enhance the healing process. Whole food supplements and herbs are real food, in their natural form, containing all of the vital components and enzymes that make them work synergistically in the body. These are nutrients you are not getting in sufficient quantities, or are not assimilating, in your current diet. It may seem hard to believe, at first, that nutritional deficiencies can even exist in this day and age of plentiful food. But, truth be told, much of our current food is sadly lacking in nutrients and overall nutritional value. The nutrition needed by our bodies to sustain health in a stressful and polluted word is more than most of us can eat. Our bodies need even greater amounts of nutrients for healing purposes.
A critical component to health is having the correct nutrients available, at all times, to upgrade or maintain the health of our bodies at the cellular level. Nutrition Response Testing provides each individual with a customized program that provides the body with the best possible conditions to get well and stay that way.
Healing Journey also specializes in restorative endocrinology, a powerful adjunctive emphasis to the protocols of Nutrition Response Testing. Endocrinology is the study of hormones, their effects on the body and the organs which produce them while restorative means capable of renewing health or strength. In holistic restorative endocrinology, the body is evaluated as a whole with particular emphasis placed on understanding the highly interactive rhythms of hormones and what is needed to restore the endocrine system to proper balance and function.

Client Testimonials
“I have been so happy with my son's treatment with Elaine that I have started going to her myself to treat post-natal depression or "crazy hormones" as I call them. After a couple of months, I feel so much better and have balanced hormones, not even PMS!!! I think I have referred everyone I know to Elaine. Thanks so much for making a difference in my life.” ~T.K.
“There are so many health issues that we’ve addressed over the years that it would be difficult to list them all. Whatever the ailment, I have found Elaine to be attentive and eager to assist in its healing. I consider her a trusted family friend and a partner in maintaining my family’s good health. I would recommend Elaine and her non-invasive treatments to anyone who is interested in taking a more pro-active role in their health and wellness.” ~C.W.
“My body was feeling sluggish, bloated, and since I have had interstitial cystitis for years, I thought perhaps Elaine might be able to help me. After just 2 visits, my body felt so much better. My husband likes to hike and I had not been able to join him, since physically I just couldn't do it for longer than 30 minutes. In October we went on a hike that lasted 1 1/2 hours and was a lot of climbing uphill. I was able to do this no problem, and my husband was convinced that it was because of my visit with Elaine and the products that she had me on. I would encourage anyone with any health problems to make an appointment with Elaine. She is not expensive; her prices are very reasonable, and she truly has your best interests at heart.” ~D.T.
“For years I suffered with excruciating menstrual cycles. I was tired all of the time, to the point where I had to take a 20 minute nap if I folded a basket of laundry. I had migraines. I took oxycodone because no other pain killer even touched the pain I had. I bled all of the time, sometimes 30 or 40 days in a row. I am 36 years old, and I was diagnosed with endometriosis in November 2009.
A friend told me about Elaine Gardner and Healing Journey. I took the supplements faithfully. And in just a few days, I noticed changes. My menstrual cycle came and there was a significant reduction in pain, the most telling sign that the supplements were helping. There were other, more subtle signs too: I had a little more energy, and fewer days of bleeding.
It has now been four months, and I am happy to report that I have had significant decreases in pain related to both my
endometriosis and menstrual cycles, and pain related to old traumas and bone misalignment. I have also had significant
decreases in the number of days I bleed each month, as well as the heaviness of the flow. I have experienced significant
increases in my energy level. I no longer take oxycodone. I have not had a migraine, where I used to have one about every
two months. I even sleep better!” ~S.T.
