What is Root Cause Health?
Too many kids and adults today suffer from a wide range of complex conditions. For many of us, deep levels of toxicity and trauma block our ability to feel at home in our bodies. And our symptoms defy one-size-fits-all prescriptions. Our symptoms may even defy simple conventional diagnosis. Too often, dis-ease in the body is addressed using a band-aid symptom-suppressing approach. This, unfortunately, perpetuates the problem and does not address what is actually causing imbalance in the body. As a root cause holistic health practitioner, my primary focus is uncovering the true causes of your or your child's symptoms, and eliminating them completely. This means looking beyond skin ailments, and addressing what is causing the rashes. It means digging deeper than sensory sensitivities, and identifying what is causing the sensory sensitivities. It also means looking beyond a modern day chronic illness diagnosis, and uncovering what is at the root of that condition. No amount of OT, ABA, psychotherapy, neurofeedback, or __________ will resolve symptoms if the root cause is parasites or a stealthy strep infection. This approach is about uncovering the true causes of your or your child's discomfort, and addressing them appropriately, so that you can be your healthiest selves.
How Austen got here
The short version: I have a history of recurrent pregnancy loss and a Hashimoto's diagnosis. The medication I was given made me feel worse, and no one could figure out why I was unable to maintain pregnancies. Dissatisfied with the limitations of the allopathic model, I put myself on a mission to find answers. I started working with a muscle testing practitioner who asked my body targeted questions about what was disrupting my biology and used a pendulum to detect the energetic responses from my nervous system. I was admittedly quite skeptical about this approach. A pendulum could tell us what is going on in my body? While video chatting? Come on.
Yes it could. And my life truly changed forever because of it. We figured out what was causing so much disharmony, addressed it with a personalized protocol based on what resonated with my body, and I watched my system rebalance. I watched my TPO antibodies decrease significantly, almost to the point of "negative," and I recently had a healthy baby girl! I have since become a practitioner because I realized my body is brilliant, and yours is too. I want to help you or your child take back your health and your dreams, and I know root cause healing and muscle testing to be an important piece to that puzzle.

How Austen practices
I utilize a pendulum and muscle testing to identify what is going on in the body. Muscle testing is a way to get energetic biofeedback from the body. It is widely understood that we use very little of our brain's capacity. Our conscious mind is quite limited, and can only do so much without getting sidetracked. The much greater part of our brain power lies in the subconscious mind. This part of our brain is active all of the time, and records everything we have encountered and experienced. Every face we have seen, every memory, every illness or injury, every painful thought. Our subconscious knows everything about our bodies, and muscle testing allows us to bring that subconscious information to conscious awareness. Through muscle testing, I am able to find out exactly what is causing someone to be chronically ill or uncomfortable, whether it is pathogens, trauma, or environmental toxins, and what their body needs and wants to get better.
In session, I will muscle test your/your child's symptoms along with your body's foundations (such as organs and meridians) to get a read on what's going on in the body. This can be done virtually as energy does not know distance or time. We know this because of the quantum physics theory of quantum entanglement. I ask yes or no questions and observe the movement of the pendulum which swings one way or another based on your nervous system's energetic response to my question. Through this method, we will uncover what is driving dis-ease in the body, and what conditions your body needs in order to recalibrate and heal.

What symptoms or diagnoses are a good fit for this modality?
Many of the kids I work with using this modality experience skin conditions, sensory processing differences, inattention, irritability, anxiety, depression, asthma, food sensitivities/allergies, gut dysbiosis, constipation, aggression, impulsivity, emotional outbursts, bedwetting, and sleep issues.
Many of the adults I work with experience things like autoimmune/chronic disease, Lyme, GI conditions like SIBO, skin ailments, chronic headaches, chronic fatigue, MCAS, endometriosis, or any other mysterious symptoms like hair loss and brain fog that allopathic medicine has not been able to figure out.
All of these symptoms have underlying root causes, many of which are missed by conventional medicine. Parasites, toxic metals, mold, Lyme, methylation issues, chemicals, viruses and bacteria, gene mutations, to name a few, often go unacknowledged. If you or your child has undesired symptoms or is showing chronic discomfort physically or emotionally, let's find out what is going on! Not only will you discover what is making you or your child ill, you will also learn how to harness your intuition, how to trust the healing process, and how to thank your body for the the tireless work it does FOR you everyday.

Book a Root Cause Health session for your child (or you!)
Please contact Austen at austen@steps2grow.com for a free 15 minute discovery call to get your questions answered and make sure we are a good fit, or to schedule an appointment.
Root Cause New Client Session - $350, 90 minThis is the first appointment a new client should book. I will review your (or your child's) health history, symptoms, and chief complaints. I will then use Ideomotor Response Muscle Testing (Applied Kinesology) to see what your body attracts to energetically for root cause problems and build a recommended protocol for strategic and supportive solutions for the stages of healing. If you have other things you'd like me to test you for during the session (foods, current supplements, etc.) please feel free to have those prepared in advance. Sessions take place via Zoom. Proxy Root Cause Follow-Up: $150, 30 minThis is the same type of appointment as the Root Cause Follow Up, however it will be completed 100% remotely on a day that you choose, not at a specific time. You do not need to be present. Energy does not know distance or time. So, after making an energetic connection with you at a previous appointment, I am able to test you from afar and without you there because of what we know about quantum entanglement. This type of appointment also includes a detox clearing of one or more things that come up in the session based on what your/your child's body says is in your/your child's best interest. |
Root Cause Follow Up Session - $165, 45 minThe body changes and adjusts through healing and the follow-up sessions allow us to check-in to keep your body on track with what it’s asking for and measure progress made. Follow-Up Sessions include a Wellness Inquiry Form that allows you to track progress session-to-session and discuss any updated lab work (if applicable), symptom improvements, and desired discussion points. I will muscle test your body to see what it is looking to address as a priority based on your progress and build an updated protocol that will be provided for continued healing. This follow-up session includes a detox clearing if you would like to opt-into one. These are optional energetic clearings of some of the things that come up in our session. Sessions take place via Zoom. Detox Clearing: $75, 30 minA detox clearing is an energetic release of one or more pathogens, toxins, emotions, events, or limiting beliefs that come up through muscle testing. What is released depends on what the body says it is ready to release safely and without detox reactions. However, sometimes these releases can cause detox symptoms such as rash or fever. Should any reactions arise, Austen will be available to muscle test supportive solutions. These sessions are remote, and are completed within 24-48 hours of a date you choose. |
