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 a disruption 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. This approach is about uncovering the true causes of your child's discomfort, and addressing them appropriately, so that they can be their healthiest selves!
How Austen got here
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 losing babies. 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 my needs, and I watched my body rebalance. I recently had a healthy baby girl!

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 a child to be chronically ill or uncomfortable, whether it is pathogens, trauma, or environmental toxins, and what their body needs to get better.
In session, I will muscle test your child's symptoms along with his/her body's foundations (such as organs and meridians) to get a read on what's going on in their 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 indicates the answer to my questions. Through this method, we will uncover what is driving dis-ease in the body, and what conditions your child's body needs in order to recalibrate and heal.

What symptoms or diagnoses are a good fit for this modality?
Too many kids today experience a constellation of challenging symptoms and behaviors, including skin conditions, sensory processing differences, inattention, anxiety, depression, food sensitivities/allergies, gut dysbiosis, constipation, aggression, impulsivity, emotional outbursts, bedwetting, etc. Many of these have underlying root causes that are often missed. Parasites, toxic metals, mold, Lyme, methylation issues, chemicals, viruses and bacteria, to name a few, often go unacknowledged. If your child has undesired symptoms or is showing chronic discomfort physically or emotionally, we may be a good fit. My goal is to find what is disrupting the body and help you remove the triggers.
Book a Root Cause Health session for your child (or you!)
For this service, Austen is an associate practitioner at LJP Integrative Health. You can book with her here! Services include:
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. Booking your New Client Session initiates continuous support between sessions with me via the chat function in the Practice Better Client Portal. Focusing on an individualized and and approachable method to your care through each protocol allows for accelerated progress, emotional support, questions answered and opportunities to become your own best healer as you learn what is happening in your body while it moves through each phase of healing. |
Root Cause Follow Up - $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 came up in our session. Booking a Follow-up Session also includes continuous chat support from Austen (via the Practice Better Portal) up until your next session (an average of 4 to 6 weeks between protocols). 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 and not at a specific time of day. You do not need to be present. Energy does not know distance or time, so I am able to test you from afar and without you there because of what we know about quantum entanglement. You will fill out a Wellness Inquiry Form prior to this session so that we can track your progress. You will also receive continuous chat support from Austen via the Practice Better Portal. |
