what our patients say

I can’t express enough how grateful my family and I are for Izzi. She’s more than just a natural health practitioner—she’s a true healer in every sense of the word. Through some of the most critical health challenges we’ve ever faced, Izzi has been a steady, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable presence. Her support quite literally helped us get through moments that felt overwhelming and uncertain.

What makes Izzi stand out is not just her deep understanding of natural practices, but the genuine care she brings to every interaction. She listens, she observes, and she tailors her guidance to what each person really needs—body, mind, and spirit. The natural remedies and holistic support she offered made a real difference in our family’s healing journey, and we continue to feel the benefits every day.

Izzi isn’t just good at what she does—she lives it. Her intuition, patience, and unwavering dedication are rare and so deeply appreciated. If you ever find yourself in need of true, heartfelt support and healing, I couldn’t recommend Izzi more. She’s a gift to anyone lucky enough to know her.

Terra K.

Our family found Izzi when we were desperate for help with our son’s allergies, having exhausted other traditional options. Izzi’s expertise and whole body approach, helped us determine the root cause of his inflammatory responses and felt like a literal life boat! We’ve been able to adjust his diet and support his body where/when needed and seen amazing changes! Izzi has since provided care for our whole family over the last several years. Hormone imbalances, migraines, digestive issues, mental health support, the list is endless! On some of our darkest days Izzi has been a compassionate and soft place to land, caring for us body, soul and spirit. If you’ve tried other things and not seen success, chances are, you just need to see Izzi.

Izzi is a great resource for holistic healthcare and nutrition response testing! She is the perfect blend of knowledgeable and compassionate, being able to target true causes of symptoms to help resolve them quickly and also truly listen to you and make you feel heard. Izzi’s practice and advice has helped me significantly through various healthcare needs I’ve had over the years. I specifically have appreciated her expertise during my pregnancy and postpartum periods when I could truly see Izzi’s passion for my whole family’s health shine through!

I’d encourage anyone who is curious about a more holistic approach to healthcare to give it a try and visit Izzi at The Haven!

Amanda H.

I have been working with Izzi for a while now, and the significant changes my body has gone through is awesome! After my first child, my body started having allergic reactions out of nowhere. I had talked to doctors, done lab work, you name it. Through the grace of God I started seeing Izzi and she found that I was gluten and soy intolerant. After clearing that up, she has helped me level my hormones out and work significantly on my endocrine and autonomic system! I take my children to see her too and she is so sweet to them. Not only does she listen and provide answers, she cares most of all about your health and family! I am so grateful for everything Izzi has done.

Kelly G.

My journey with Izzi has been nothing short of transformative. Her holistic approach to health has opened my eyes to the interconnectedness of my body and mind. I appreciate how she listens deeply and tailors natural treatments to my body to take charge of my health. Izzi fosters a warm and inviting environment where healing thrives. I’m excited to continue this journey, not just to wellness, but towards a more vibrant and fulfilling life! Thank you, Izzi, for guiding me on this incredible path! 💖

Megan M.
Izzi loves and cares for people with a heart like Jesus. She works with integrity & determination to get to the root issue. She has helped my family to thrive and live with our best health. She is a blessing to all who have the opportunity to work with her!
Veronica L.

Izzi is very knowledgeable, as she looks at the whole body and digs in deep for the root cause. I appreciate her kind and compassionate spirit and her ability to see you, as a person, not a number or a patient. She finds the reason for your symptoms and treats that, not just the symptoms.
I highly recommend her!!!!

What if I told you the answer was easier than what What if I told you the answer was easier than what you initially thought? 🤨🧐

Have you been offered birth control as a “this will solve everything” solution to your problems? Well let’s HOLD THE PHONE for one hot second ‼️

Should we stop and ask WHY your hormones are imbalanced?

The Haven’s favorite way to assess hormones is by using a Dutch Plus test to dive deep into imbalances. 🕵️‍♀️ 

From there we will discuss lifestyle changes, nutrition changes and herbal support to enhance your body’s natural rhythm. 

Until then… here are a few easy moves to help your hormones ⬇️⬇️⬇️

✨Ditch the endocrine disrupters ✨

1. Plastics with BPA & Phthalates
Found in: plastic water bottles, food storage containers, plastic wrap, canned food linings, some receipts.
Better options: stainless steel, glass, silicone, BPA-free cans.

2. Personal Care Products with Hormone Disrupting Chemicals
Look out for:
Parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben, etc.)
Phthalates (often hidden under “fragrance/parfum”)
Triclosan (in antibacterial soaps, some toothpaste)
Oxybenzone & octinoxate (in many sunscreens)
Better options: clean beauty brands, mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide).

3. Household Cleaners & Air Fresheners
Look out for: synthetic fragrances, glycol ethers, nonylphenols.
Better options: unscented or naturally scented cleaners, vinegar + baking soda, essential oils (in moderation).

4. Non-stick Cookware
Problem: PFOA, PFOS, and other PFAS (“forever chemicals”) used in Teflon.
Better options: stainless steel, cast iron, ceramic-coated.

5. Pesticide Residues on Food
Endocrine disruptors include: organophosphates, atrazine, glyphosate.
Better options: wash produce thoroughly; choose organic for the “Dirty Dozen” (apples, strawberries, spinach, etc.).

6. Canned & Packaged Foods
Problem: BPA or BPS in can linings; phthalates in food packaging.
Better options: fresh or frozen produce, brands with BPA-free packaging.

Rest is not weakness—it is worship. From the v Rest is not weakness—it is worship. 

From the very beginning, God modeled rest for us on the seventh day, reminding us that true renewal is found in Him. Jesus Himself said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).

When we pause in His presence:
🌱 Our bodies are restored by His design
🧠 Our minds are renewed by His Word
💡 Our spirits are refreshed by His Spirit
❤️ Our strength is made whole in Him

Rest isn’t just a break—it’s an act of faith. Today, may we lay down our striving and lean into the One who holds all things together. 

🤍The Haven team will be resting for Labor Day weekend! All calls, emails and texts will be returned Tuesday morning. Office hours resume Tuesday at 9! #holistichealth #welcometothehaven #rest #recovery
➡️ Mold isn’t always obvious. It hides in le ➡️ Mold isn’t always obvious. It hides in less assuming places like behind walls and under floors. Mold doesn’t need much to thrive. Just a little bit of moisture. 

➡️ Mold also doesn’t really care if you live in a newly built mansion or an old run down shack. 

➡️ Mold can also not be adequately assessed by using air samples alone. 

➡️ Mold should NEVER be cleaned using bleach.

➡️ My favorite herb for mold is Golden Seal (plus a binder!) BUT I always test… never guess!! 

➡️ Are you worried about mold? Consider an ERMI test and chat with Izzi!

To the women who give without measure, who rise be To the women who give without measure, who rise before the sun and rest long after the stars appear—you are the heartbeat of the world. Moms are the silent strength in the background, the soft voice of encouragement when we doubt, and the steady hands that hold us when life feels too heavy.

You teach resilience not just through words, but through your daily sacrifices and unshakable love. You embody patience in the chaos, hope in the struggles, and joy in the smallest of moments.

Every meal cooked, every tear wiped, every prayer whispered, and every dream nurtured is a legacy of love that ripples far beyond what can ever be seen.

To all the moms—biological, adoptive, spiritual, and chosen—you are the unsung heroes, the living proof of unconditional love. Today and always, we at The Haven, honor you.

Exercise is a powerful tool for nurturing both physical and mental health. It releases endorphins, reduces stress, support immunity, encourages lymphatic drainage and supports overall wellbeing. 

Shout out to my favorite gym @cf_merlehay 💪 

Today, take a moment for yourself—move, breathe, and recharge! Your mind and body will thank you. #MindBodySoul #ActiveLife #MotivateYourself
✨ You are worth the care. ✨ Caring for yourse ✨ You are worth the care. ✨

Caring for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential. When you choose to rest, heal, and invest in your well-being, you’re building the strength to show up fully for the people and passions that matter most to you. Every small step you take toward health is a reminder that your body, mind, and spirit deserve to be nurtured. You don’t have to wait until you’re completely run down to honor yourself with care.

Because when you’re well, you shine brighter—and that light touches everyone around you. 💛
