Testimonials

I am honored and humbled to share some of the things my patients have said about their experience of working with me.

I received a healing from Dr Sutherland several months back. I’m still feeling the effects of a deep shift in my psyche. My negative self talk has essentially disappeared. I’m deeply grateful for this sense of freedom.

Thank you Dr. Liz for your caring treatment of my frozen shoulder. I noticed during our sessions my shoulder felt supported and encouraged to regain its trust in natural motion. Since our sessions I have had less pain and a better range of motion. You are a compassionate and exceptional practitioner.

I approached Dr. Liz Sutherland for treatment when I suddenly developed very painful shin splints. My left lower leg was extremely painful and quite swollen. I am quite fit and have always been a keen walker so having something wrong with my leg came as a shock. I have always been quite skeptical about energy medicine and was taken aback to find the treatment so helpful. Liz was quietly attentive and conveyed tremendous sensitivity and thoughtfulness in her approach. She uses touch carefully and non-intrusively, which I found deeply relaxing. She also explains what she thinks is happening and what she is doing in a straightforward, understandable way. After the first treatment there was a visible reduction in swelling and I could put some weight on my foot. I had two further treatments, each of which gave me immediate relief from pain, further reduced the swelling and left me able to begin the process of walking again.

I’ve suffered from migraines for years. One visit with Dr. Sutherland — and they’re gone. She is a kind, careful, thorough, and attentive healer. I am grateful to work with her.

The treatment I received from Dr. Sutherland was very relaxing in a whole being way. It felt like everything got slower and calmed down in the session, like my tensions got off the treadmill.

Dr. Sutherland treated me for an inflammatory pain condition that literally struck me overnight with symptoms so painful that I could hardly walk and could not carry anything without extreme pain in my shoulders and collar bones. I was living in London at the time and the physicians there told me in no uncertain terms that the only treatment available to me was to go on steroids for a period of about two years. I contacted Dr. Sutherland to see if there were other options for me to explore and she navigated me through a health treatment program that was truly integrative in nature. She immediately put me on an anti-inflammation diet including supplements such as turmeric and others known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Dr. Sutherland found a great acupuncturist and osteopath for me as well. Most importantly, she was there for me during times when I was fearful and taught me elements of mindfulness meditation which helped me control my panic attacks. Through her help, my inflammatory condition had improved sufficiently in three months that even my doctors no longer recommended steroids. Dr. Sutherland got me through the worst two years of my life. I continue to work with her to deal with any setbacks life throws my way, but I now have a whole new way of looking at the world. Dr. Sutherland gave me the critical tools of healing-related thinking and empowered me in a really loving way to know how to care for myself. This kind of empowerment is crucial but all too rare.
