My Natural Healing Journey

My path to wellness through holistic healing at Natural Benefits in Annapolis

By Laura McElwain Colquhoun, Publisher, Macaroni Kid Pasadena-Severna Park-Glen Burnie June 4, 2021


A little over 2 years ago I discovered Natural Benefits, and since then I've

felt the best I have in a long time, certainly since I gave birth to Quinten 

seven years ago.  Natural Benefits filled a much-needed void.


A little about me and my approach to health and wellness--holistic healing

has been my M.O. for most of my adult life, and they work for me.  I get

regular acupuncture treatment and massages, do yoga, use essential oils,

etc.  However, I felt a piece was missing and that was the nutrition

component.


When I met Raelynn at Natural Benefits I had been taking a couple

supplements I had "heard" were good for middle-aged women (having to

accept I was clearly in that demographic was another issue altogether!  ),

like magnesium. But I had no idea what dosages to take, how often, etc.


Raelynn at Natural Benefits was able to fill that void.  Her holistic and 

non- invasive approach to non-medical nutrition counseling is personalized, 

and she was able to tell me what MY body needed.  To this day, I take supplements 

she recommends based on what my body needs, and they constantly change.  As one 

area heals, I take appropriate supplements for the next area.


Raelynn also gives me guidance with food choices; to my surprise some

traditionally healthy foods are not good for MY body.  One of my favorite

parts--she takes the TIME to listen to you and really tailor an overall

program that is unique and individualized.  She helps you see what you can

change to improve your overall feeling of health.


To make a long story short, throughout this process, previous health issues

like anxiety, vertigo and even a bone spur have all but gone since my time

with Natural Benefits, just by eating healthier and some basic education on

toxins.  I have more energy and brain fog is almost non-existent for me

now.


Lastly, another tool that I have most recently added to my wellness regime

is red light therapy. Oh my gosh, where has this treatment been all my

life? Originally developed by NASA for astronauts, this therapy is like none

other.  From my sessions on the red light bed, I have even MORE energy,

my appetite for junk food has diminished and it's helped with some

nondescript aches and pains (hello again, middle age!).



If you're looking for a holistic approach to healing, I highly recommend

Natural Benefits. And an awesome bonus--the whole team there is so

friendly and encouraging! In addition to Raelynn, her colleagues Christian

and Chelsea offer other holistic health services.


They have an open house and ribbon cutting next Friday, June 11 from

12:00 - 3:00 PM. Go check them out then or another time!  If you tell them

Macaroni Kid sent you, you will receive 1/2 off a consultation with Raelynn

any time that is convenient for you. I’m sure you'll love them as much as I

do!
