My husband walked into the appt. with 2 canes. After the appt. he walked out using NO canes. It was amazing to see the change. He was walking with a cane for 17 years. She is truly blessed by God with healing hands.

After that, I made appts for each of our children and my 82 year old mother. I just had my treatment and I feel great.

I recommend Deb for everyone!!

Born in 1945 and raised in lower Michigan, I grew up on a dairy farm and choose that as my occupation, working with my father until 1978 when he died of colon cancer. I continued farming until 1985 and in 1989 when we moved to Green Bay, I worked in construction. I was having a number of health problems and in 2000 I was unofficially diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Within the next couple of years, I had experienced up to 20 symptoms associated with PD. I did a lot of reading and research on the subject and came up with the conclusion that it could be beat.

Researchers have not come up with a cause but three things stood out to me more than others, genetics, environmental issues and physical injury. I found researches to say “genetics load the gun and environment pulls the trigger.” So I started changing my diet and added some herbs but found I was still getting worse. In 2011 I did a couple of detoxes to address the chemicals I was exposed to when farming and that took away about 60% of my symptoms. I was introduced to Debbie Gates in 2012 and she described me as the tin man – from the wizard of OZ because from the hips up I had almost no individual moving parts. To look up, down, or to the side I had to move my entire body. Bending over was difficult and I could not touch my ankles, standing up straight was painful and out of the question. Through a bunch of questioning and reflection, we discovered that back in 1975 - in a car accident where there was no apparent injury, there was undetected injury that my body so wonderfully made adjustments for but no longer served me.

Through God’s help, Debbie’s knowledge of how the body works, through Craniosacral Therapy, soft tissue work, and the help of essential oils, she now refers to me as the Scarecrow! I have my life back and with an occasional tune up I believe I will be able to stay active for a lot of years yet.

I also believe Debbie’s work has kept me out of a wheelchair.

I have ataxia, caused by a defective gene which I inherited. After seeing a neurologist and being told she couldn’t help me, I decided to pursue alternative avenues. Deb’s first evaluation found several additional issues. For many years I have been subject to sudden and severe muscle spasms which usually landed me in the hospital. My first treatment with Deb alleviated the spasms and after further sessions we began to see the realignment of my hips and other muscles which relieved most of my pain. Since my defective gene has caused loss of balance, I see Deb on a periodic basis and am thrilled with the results.

I have been seeing Deb since 2009. I originally started seeing her for shoulder pain which I had sought treatment for with other practitioners to no avail. After seeing Deb just a couple times, the issue was resolved. I also have scoliosis and she has been working with me on several other issues that are resolving but will never completely go away. Deb is very intuitive with massage and when she does her cranial work. I have recommended her to all my friends and family.

The massage that Deb gave me was one of the best massages I have ever received. She takes the time to get to know you and what your needs are. She also uses essential oils to help with relieving tension and makes you feel super relaxed. She has the magic touch and just knows where to work. She is also reasonably priced.

With a history of congenital torticollis due to a traumatic breach birth and having had Bell’s palsy twice in my life, I have had chiropractic care, pretty much, my entire life.  Always looking to improve my health further, I started seeing Debbie Gates, at Gratefully Healthy LLC, about a year ago, and I am SO very grateful, that I did! --- It has been life-changing for me. 

From little on, I had severe asymmetry in my neck and head and lived with chronic back/neck tightness.  Chiropractic care certainly helped keep me comfortable, but the craniosacral technique Deb uses has helped to correct things at an entirely different level.  My experience with her has been amazing.  The neck I grew up with is unrecognizable and the discomfort I lived with my entire life, is gone.  I didn’t even realize how uncomfortable I was everyday, until it was taken away.  My facial structure has changed enormously and continues to change with every visit.  I have truly never felt better in my life.  Deb surprises me at every appointment. With each session, I experience more correction, which in turn, brings further improvement to my health and continued relief.  She has an incredible God given talent of knowing and/or seeing, exactly where a person is ready to have change or needs help.  Deb’s abilities have brought me to tears on more than one occasion, as the sessions have made changes I thought to be impossible.  In addition to craniosacral work, Deb introduced me to essential oils.  As my husband, sons and I have integrated the brand of oils Deb uses into our lives, we have seen a glimpse of the positive impact the oils can have on our health.  They have been a great addition for us as we continue our journey of healthy living.

Deb has given me something in life I never dreamed I would have (and did not even know existed!) --- and that is to feel this good!  She has empowered me, given me knowledge to help safely care for myself and my family, and ultimately, has given us the gift of improved health.  Deb has been a true blessing to my health and the health of my family and we are Gratefully Healthy, in every sense of the words.
