I will never be able to repay Sanctuary for what they have done for my daughter. When we first came to them last September, we didn’t even realize just how exhausted we were or how much our little girl had been struggling.

My daughter unknowingly had PANS. She was dealing with tics, disrupted sleep, social decline, speech regression, “brain on fire” episodes, severe separation anxiety, OCD, and so much more. Sanctuary took the time to run extensive testing and helped us understand what was going on inside her little body and what could be contributing to all of these struggles.

Next month will mark one year since we started this journey, and I am so incredibly happy to say that our girl is thriving. She talks to us, looks us in the eyes, plays with her little sister, and is genuinely happy. Her separation anxiety is gone, her temper has dramatically improved, her tics are WAY down, she sleeps through the night, and she wakes up happy. She is, in so many ways, a completely different child.

And the best part is that I feel like we’re only getting started. I cannot wait to see what this next year of healing brings her.

We will be forever grateful to Sanctuary for the care they have given our family and for helping change the course of our 5-year-old daughter’s life.

“Our patients’ stories of restoration are always blessings to hear. So many come to us with broken bodies, even broken lives, yet finding the root cause and applying the best of customized natural and conventional therapies through our team over time sets so many free. We are thankful that we get the privilege of being God’s hands and feet in facilitating that recovery.”

Finding Dr. Potter and his team at Sanctuary has been a literal Godsend! For 2 years prior, my daughter was very sick. Despite numerous medical appointments, including ER visits, no one could figure out the root of her symptoms, which included sudden OCD, intermittent and unexplained vomiting, skin issues and more. Sanctuary helped pinpoint the root cause (mold) and she quickly began to improve. Her sister has also begun treatment at Sanctuary because of some different mold-related symptoms that we could not address on our own. She also is seeing improvement in a short time. The road to their healing is a journey, but we have been so thankful for their encouraging team of a Dr, PA, nutritionist, nurses, coordinators and receptionists who are working on their behalf!”

“In the midst of some intense health struggles, it can be hard to see exactly how far one has come. So when I zoom out and consider what my son is no longer struggling with, I’m amazed. My son is no longer scratching his body bloody. He no longer has to be restrained or his hands covered. He no longer has a rash covering his entire body – or any part of his body, for that matter. He no longer has to be held in order to sleep. And his sleep isn’t punctuated with screams of pain and frustration. Instead, his skin is smooth and soft. He can eat so many foods. He eats, sleeps and plays like typical little boys. We still have a ways to go in figuring some things out. But the progress we have made has been life changing and we are so thankful for Sanctuary Functional Medicine and their commitment to restoring the immune system and all the functions of the body.”
