Dr. Eisenheim guided me back to health and set me up to stay well going forward. At age 54, after years of intermittent problems and alternative treatments, I feel that I finally understand what I need to do to take care of myself. When I first turned to Dr. Eisenheim, my primary complaint was that I’d been experiencing morning exhaustion for a long time. It was difficult to start the day, day after day, with no desire whatsoever to get out of bed. Was I depressed? Was I just getting old? Was this what it was going to be like from now on? Another, lifelong, problem was food cravings that kept my weight a little higher than I felt comfortable with. The problem was far worse when I was younger, so I tried to be grateful that it had become much more manageable and just deal with it. Dr. Eisenheim determined that, among other things, I was suffering from moderate adrenal exhaustion. I’d experienced it twice before, and here I was again! She put me on a program that got my adrenals back in shape. I even held up well as we headed into the dark months of late fall — a time when I traditionally crash. I feel like myself again. More than previous practitioners, Dr. Eisenheim helped me understand my vulnerability to adrenal problems and how to avoid future crashes. Because I really get it now, I feel confident that I can plan and do the self-care I need.
As for the food cravings, some concerns about inflammation prompted Dr. Eisenheim to recommend the “TQI” (To Quiet Inflammation) book/eating plan. Now, I’ve been focused on healthful food all my life. But committing to the TQI regimen for several weeks brought me solidly back to basics long enough to remind me that my body demands a narrow path, food-wise — and that it’s so worth it. The chronic cravings virtually disappeared. I have little desire for foods that put me off-balance. This is huge. And I find myself gradually losing weight despite eating five times a day. I feel really good about where I am now, and optimistic about the future. I would definitely go back to Dr. Eisenheim … but I don’t think I’ll need to!

I found Dr. Eisenheim after battling both Covid and the flu this past winter. My immune system and lungs were absolutely exhausted and both the virus and the medications prescribed by my PCP had completely thrown my hormones out of whack. I was looking for a more natural approach to help me recover after months of struggling. After my initial consultation with Dr. Eisenheim I knew I had found a good fit! She took the time to listen and asked in depth questions to gain an understanding of my overall health and habits. She was able to give me immediate (and simple) diet suggestions, and also recommended supplements that would help me regain my strength. After a little less than a month on her program, I began to feel huge improvements. The skin issues I was experiencing due to imbalanced hormones significantly improved and my energy started to recover. I’m now a few months out and feeling considerably stronger and healthier. I’m so glad I have Dr. Eisenheim’s guidance now, especially during the pandemic! I would recommend her to anyone looking for ways to improve their wellbeing through a gentle and nourishing approach. I’ve learned a lot and look forward to continuing on this path with her.

I had been having problems – pain – in my right knee for several months that was affecting my ability to be active – garden, hike, exercise and reliably walk around town or down stairs. It wasn’t a good feeling as I’ve lived a very active and independent life. I had pursued different options to address and identify the source of the pain – osteoarthritis – and was referred to an orthopedic doctor/surgeon. I’ve always used a variety of health options, so I was looking for an option to injections and eventual surgery. I had the good fortune to meet Dr. Eisenheim who was leading a walk in our community park and to ask her about naturopathic options for osteoarthritis. Very glad I did. As a result of just a few sessions with Dr. Eisenheim, I can more reliably walk and move about without pain. And, I can address any occasional minor pain with the remedies and advice from Dr. Eisenheim along with sensible strengthening exercises that I have from my PT. It’s now all very manageable and good to be reliably mobile and out of pain. As a side benefit, I found my time on the treatment table to be very relaxing and important respite from what had been a year filled with challenges.

Dr. Eisenheim has offered great care and advice to our whole family, but especially our 2 year old son. We are on a tight budget and she is very understanding and willing to help people with low income obtain great naturopathic care. I strongly recommend her practice for people of all ages.

I reached out to Dr. Eisenheim after spending 6 days in the hospital with ulcerative colitis and facing a long term heavy duty course of meds to both heal and maintain. She got right the to point with what the best course of action I could take. She recommended a a super detailed stool test which helped her determine what was the best course of supplements and diet would help me heal and maintain. She took the time to get to know everything should could about my medical history, diet and lifestyle before she made her supplement suggestions. I have been on the recommended diet and supplements now for almost 2 months and I have healed, I am maintaining and, I am not at risk for side affects of taking big pharma meds. I highly recommend Dr. Eisenheim.

After nearly completely recovering from late-stage Lyme disease, I came to Nitya for help with SIBO(small intestinal bacterial overgrowth), upper right quadrant pain, and air hunger (I kept running out of breath). After receiving her bodywork for the first time, I had relief from my daily upper right quadrant pain for more than two weeks, the longest period of relief I’d felt in a year of having the pain. And, it continued to improve. She educated me on the different options to treat the SIBO and helped me design a diet and herbal protocol that worked for me. After years of seeing practitioners who claimed to have the answer, Nitya’s support to help ME choose my healing path was a breath of fresh air. Additionally, she made up a mycoplasma formula for me that has almost completely cleared up my lung issues. I’m so grateful for her support and highly recommend her services.

I’ve been dealing with Lyme Disease since June of 2017 and still suffer intermittent symptoms. I attended Dr Eisenheim’s workshop on Lyme Disease in April 2018. I was impressed with her easy to understand information and willingness to share her knowledge as well as her kind and professional demeanor so I scheduled a consult and bodywork session. She had scheduled the bodywork session after the initial consult. I had never had one done before. It was an interesting experience that surprised me when it was mostly hands off. When she came to my upper right stomach I felt slight fluttering pangs that I took to be a reoccurrence of inflammation from diverticulitis. Dr. Eisenheim informed me that my liver was distressed. I had indeed tested with a fatty liver in October with a negative follow up test later on. Armed with a lovely digestive blend I was now aware that there was something I was doing that was causing my liver to be angry. Looking back critically I realized that although I’m not an alcohol user, I had used Acetaminophen to treat mild migraines quite often a few weeks before being seen as well as snacking on a pint of ice cream the week prior.
I had been scheduled for a few sessions with the frequency machine. My first treatment was a very new experience. At certain cycles I could feel a sense of clarity slowly move through my head as if a layer of cobwebs were being lifted. 3 days before my second session I was bit on my arm by a tick that did not latch on since I felt it bite and immediately removed it. I developed a red angry bump where the bite was. The same sense of clarity with a sense of lifting off of cobwebs occurred. After the frequency session, during the detox session I felt itching at the bite site. I had removed my glasses before the treatment and, being near-sighted, was unable to see clearly what was going on. What I could make out was the bite looked like a flap of dry skin was coming off at the center. Later I looked with my glasses on and noticed that flap of dry skin was actually a clear bead of fluid that was seeping out of the bite bump. This seeping continued about 1 hour after the treatment. There was no discoloration that you get with an infection nor was there any blood. It was as if the detox program from was expelling the toxins from the tick bite. I took home the Tick Kit as a preventative. 3 1/2 weeks post tick bite I have thankfully not had a reoccurrence of Lyme symptoms. I have gladly added Dr. Eisenheim to my Lyme treatment regime.

I decided to visit Cedar Rose after I exhausted all other medical options with my son who was chronically sick. After our first visit I saw a drastic improvement in his overall health within 2 weeks. She carefully listened to all of my concerns and gave me a plan of action for him which included diet changes and supplements. We as a family are so happy to have found Dr. Nitya. I also highly recommend Dr. Nitya for craniosacral body work.

Lovely lovely bodywork and frequency machine, and infrared sauna–feeling calm, centered and home again in my body. Just in time for a Spring detox–be back soon! Thank you!

I had a great experience with Dr Nitya at blue dragon. I received 4 craniosacral sessions in a month and I was blown away by the results. A tangible energetic shift occurred after each session with a noticeable cumulative effect. I highly recommend

I highly recommend Dr. Nitya Eisenheim. She is the one to have on your team. Before seeing Nitya I had searched for relief from chronic pain for seven years. Seven years with chronic pain stemming from a marginally successful nerve graft after haven broken my arm. I was desperate. Then I found Nitya. Firstly we transformed the lexicon. Pain became surmountable discomfort. Our investigations found that the discomfort manifested itself in multiple ways and that fighting it had actually overcompensated and compounded the problem. Next we circled in on and identified the root causes. At that point – one evening the discomfort was gone.

I contacted Nitya to ease some of my digestive problems. I have suffered from them most of my life, so I was skeptical about any success. For a year –meeting at first weekly and then monthly — she used visceral manipulation and craniosacral therapies, as well as herbal supplements, to bring heath back to my body. The results amazed me. She also helped me combat my Lyme disease effectively. Nitya was gentle, supportive and encouraging, and I feel I a much healthier person through her intervention.
~RH, Brattleboro, VT
Nitya was very kind and incredibly knowledgeable. She has a lot of experience and many powerful tools at her disposal. I’m happy I’ll be coming back regularly!

I have been a client with Dr. Nitya Eisenheim at Cedar Rose for approximately 1 year. All of the people who work there are very professional and kind. Nitya Eisenheim is an excellent naturopathic doctor and has helped me greatly. I wish I didn’t live so far away I could participate in more of their workshops etc. I am too glad I found them!

The herbal protocol and elimination diet that you prescribed shifted things quickly for me and I found a lot of relief. The diarrhea and itchiness went away first and then slowly I regained my energy levels. Now I have a better sense of what works for my body and what doesn’t. I feel like the things you prescribed helped to give me a deeper feeling of connection with and understanding of my body. I found a better balance through listening to my body- which foods worked and didn’t, which activities made it better or worse, and how I felt in my body during stressful times. During this time I also resumed my meditation practice and was reminded to find more time for general self care. I also found different ways of being active that took less of a toll on my body.

Slowly, I was able to heal. You were able to recommend supplements and herbs to heal my stomach. Although it took awhile to get back to normal, I feel much better. No more vomiting or diarrhea. No acid reflux or back pain. Sleep is much better and my energy levels are better than before. My overall health has improved. My energy levels are better than before the stomach problems. I missed being able to work more and go out with friends. I can exercise more and have better stamina. I’m able to sleep better. My stools are always healthy. My other health conditions have improved as well.
~RA, Conway, MA
I have been able to focus more of my energy on healthier things, instead of dealing with the social and mental challenges. More at peace that my alternative diet is just me long term reality. Finding joy in the foods I can eat!

After having been on anti-biotics for 6 months, I continued to have recurring symptoms such as fatigue, chronic pain, vertigo and heart palpitations. I was relieved to have found natural support that actually resolved the remaining symptoms! I was feeling discouraged and scared that this would go on for the rest of my life. I now feel healthy and almost symptom free. I was depressed, and had insomnia. I could have had symptoms for the rest of my life.
I feel proud that I was able to get through this and feel healthy and I owe that in great part to Dr. Eisenheim’s sensitive, intelligent, well-informed help and support. I feel thankful for her warmth, genuine care, and connection. If you have Lyme disease, I suggest getting a team of practitioners with a variety of complementary approaches on board. After I healed from the Lyme disease, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and again Dr. Eisenheim provided support and care during treatment and provided post-care to prevent re-occurrence.
