Here’s what our clients have to say…
Soul Retrieval
I thought shamans were wizened men with long beards who live in jungle huts. Not so! They are among us, and it is fascinating to explore the spiritual side of life with them. I met with White Light, a newly christened shaman at Healing Arts, and I was very happy that I did.
She immediately put me at ease by explaining the process to me, and she then guided me through six periods of my life where significant events had dimmed my spirit. Her animal guide was there to facilitate the process, and I was amazed that so much detail was revealed. The assessments seemed right to me—times when I was under duress and made choices that blocked my energy and spirit. White Light then gently removed those blockages.
I can recommend the process to people with open minds who want to expand their energy and enhance their spiritual growth.
Thank you, White Light and Healing Arts!

Seasonal Allergies
I recently returned from a trip to Florida. Spring was starting, and the air was filled with pollen. Although I heard several people complain of allergies, including my husband, I didn’t have any symptoms. In the 1 ½ years I have been receiving ART treatments, my reactions to many allergens have been eliminated. The best part is that if I do detect an allergy, I can get it treated quickly and painlessly.

Insomnia
Smita treated my insomnia yesterday and I slept like an angel. I didn’t sleep so well in years. I am very glad I found her.

Autoimmune and Acupuncture
Smita Shah has been treating me the past month for an autoimmune disease that I have been dealing with for 3 years. One month of treatment has brought relief to several nagging symptoms right away. I’ve noticed a difference physically and felt more energy overall. I look forward to what more sessions and time can bring to the healing process.
– Z. Solomon on 4/2019
Benefits of Care
Dear Dr. Renee, I want you to know that I have benefited from your care and appreciate better health lately. I am grateful, too, for Smita Shah whose treatments made a difference for my skin issues. Her understanding and compassion were as healing as her treatments!
– C.T. on 2/18/22
Run Down
I came in feeling run down and no energy. After my first session with Smita Shah I felt more relaxed and had restful sleep. Before, I slept but it wasn’t restful. I feel I am healing. My second session was today. I have more energy and will keep you posted! Also, I dropped 5 pounds in one week!
– Micki on 8/4/22
One Appointment
Dear Smita, I wanted to let you know that with only one appointment so far last week, I saw a lot of improvement with my GI system. I know I have a long way to go, but I noticed a marked improvement with the motility of both my stomach and bowels. My stomach was growling quite a lot the first 4 days after your session. All of this is very important when you have been diagnosed with gastroparesis. Looking forward to more treatments with you and continued improvement with all my ailments. Thank you so very much!

Cervical Dysplasia
After a year of medical procedures for cervical dysplasia caused by HPV, I decided to give Healing Arts a try before proceeding with a hysterectomy. I’m happy to say with four months of treatment at the Center, I was cleared of the above. I appreciate the time and effort each staff member provided. You were able to achieve what Western medicine could not!
– July 2018
I Was a Skeptic
As a skeptic, I allowed myself to take ART treatments for about 3 months or so. The alternative was Western medicine drugs, which I had rejected. The first sign when I could tell ART was working was when all the people around me were having strong allergic responses to cottonwood trees, and I was symptomless. What a shock of awareness! A year later I was finishing up ART basics and feeling just fine. My immune system seems to be totally “on-line” and in charge. I find no words to say how ART has so wonderfully improved my health.

A Switch Flipped
In April of 2016, I began having unexplained bouts of anxiety, insomnia, heart palpitations, mild joint pain, confusion, fearfulness and tiredness. I knew immediately something wasn’t right, because my symptoms were completely out of the blue and not my normal self. It was literally like a switch was flipped inside my body. In May of 2016 I started treating at Healing Arts Center. I met with Dr. Renee who suggested I have live blood work done at their office. The blood work showed signs of Lyme disease and I began treating immediately at Healing Arts Center with a combination of regular ART visits, sublingual UBI treatments, visits with Dr. Smith and supplements. I also purchased a Rife machine for home usage, using the bulb feature several times a week, along with bi-weekly ion pro wave footbaths. The treatment has been a rollercoaster in that there are ups and downs. However, despite the lows it is important to note that perseverance it key! I have been operating at about 90% for a while now, but am happy to say that since December of 2017, I have been relatively symptom-free! It’s like that switch that was flipped in April of 2016 is just about switched off. I am thankful Healing Arts Center was the first place I visited for my original symptoms. They found the problem right away and I was able to start treating immediately. Dr. Renee and her staff are truly compassionate, and several times Renee has hit the nail on the head when pinpointing the specific problem when certain things were ailing me. I have found all of my treatment regimens to be extremely helpful in my fight against Lyme. The approach was well-rounded and worked wonders for me!

Chelation Therapy
After nine chelation treatments I can already tell the difference in my circulation. I do not have the level of pressure in my chest that I had before. Further, the arthritis in my ankle from an old basketball injury has significantly improved. Further yet, my blood pressure has gone down.
– J. Huisman on 2/21/2018
Lyme Recovery
Renee’ Kimberling and ART literally gave me back my life. I had struggled since I was a college student with symptoms that Chronic fatigue to cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr to Babesiosis. Then I contact Dr. Renee for help with food allergies, possibly “leaky gut.” Very early in treating me, she suggested that I be checked for Lyme. “Of course not – I tested negative!” Well, after taking the Igenex test I found I had very high levels of Lyme. The treatments took about 2 years, but I can thankfully say I’ve regained my health and, most importantly, my self-confidence. Thanks to Dr. Renee’ and her team for hanging in there with me!
– Hermione Miles Gorney on 1/25/2018
Great Progress
I have made great progress in my time coming here. The staff is always helpful and positive. My doctors couldn’t figure out my problems, but Dr. Renee identified them in just a couple of visits. I would recommend this clinic to my closest friend.
– S. Shambarger on 1/30/2018
Infant Son’s Eczema
As an infant, my son would often have eczema and hives due to several IGE allergies and sensitivities. ART treatments have helped him to clear many of his sensitivities. He seldom has skin reactions now, but when he does we are able, through ART, to quickly find out the cause and clear it. We are looking forward to continuing treatment to clear his IGE allergies so that he will no longer have any food restrictions. We are so grateful for discovering ART!
– A. Lukas on 1/30/2018
Tired of Getting No Answers
In 2000 I had become very ill, so much that I don’t remember my youngest’s early years. I had gone through numerous “medical” tests with no results (only wasted money). Since I was getting no answers I decided to take matters into my own hands. I changed my diet, took herbs, and this seemed to help for a time, but there were still symptoms of something worse going on. It wasn’t until I got referred to Healing Arts in the year of 2013. I started treatments right away with eliminating allergens and other immune disorders. It’s been a long journey, but one I’m thankful I took. All of the staff at Healing Arts could not be more kind and knowledgeable in their field. If you’re struggling with your health and not getting any answers, why not give Healing Arts a try – like me you’ll be glad you did!
– D. Pfledderer on 1/30/2018
After 5 Treatments
A huge thank you to Dr. Renee and the staff of Healing Arts Center. After many years of traditional medicine with no cures – just treating symptoms, I am so happy to have found Healing Arts Center. After finishing the basic 5 ART treatments, I feel like I have my life back – renewed energy, less digestive issues, and improved mental clarity. The plan is to continue with ART until all my health issues are cleared with 100% confidence that ART will ensure me many years free from illness.
I highly recommend the Healing Arts center to anyone seeking better health.

Little Lucy
Since my daughter was about 6 days old she had stomach issues. She spent the first three months of her life screaming. She was either sleeping, eating, or screaming. She was taken to the NICU for 3 days after she was born, where they pumped her full of antibiotics. I know that is what messed her gut up, but it took me months to realize that her pain was caused by food intolerances.
Flash forward to a few months ago…
At 16 months old, there were only a handful of foods that Lucy could tolerate. She would have screaming fits, and I knew that she was in pain because she would arch her back horribly and her stomach would get extremely hard. Western doctors didn’t help Lucy, and honestly I don’t think they took her issues seriously. When Lucy had a reaction to food, it wasn’t a typical reaction. No rash – no vomiting, no diarrhea. It was all in her gut.
I heard about ART through a Facebook group and decided to try it. I was thrilled to find a practitioner about 20 miles from my home. On January 6, 2017 I went in for a consult with Dr. Renee. I believe that she could feel/sense the severity of Lucy’s issues and she started treatment that day.
It has been 3 months since Lucy started ART and the results have been AMAZING. Lucy went from waking up 2 to 3 times in the middle of the night, screaming in pain, to sleeping 12 (yes 12) hours through the night! She doesn’t have her screaming fits during the day anymore either. Lucy went from being able to eat around 6 foods to being able to eat pretty much anything (within reason). I am beyond grateful to Dr. Renee for healing my daughter. ART has been a lifesaver and I recommend it to anyone with any allergies/intolerances. It is truly amazing.
– Lucy’s mom in April of 2017
Cancer Progress
For those of you who I have not spoken to yet, here’s the news on my CT scans from last week.
Everything in my chest is normal, all of the swollen nodes have shrunk. One small swollen node in my groin that the doctor isn’t concerned with. Several swollen nodes in my neck and armpit, all of the left side. Overall he said that it was much better than the scan in September 14.
Interesting notes: When Kerri asked if I should keep doing what I’m doing, he said “you’ll never hear me say that”. He also said that he was “surprised at how well I’m doing considering I’m not doing any western medicine”.
Sad to think that our medical system does not a doctor to do what is best for the patient UNLESS it is WITHIN the strict guidelines of their system. The fact that the doctor refuses to tell me to continue to do what is helping me to get well and LIVE!
I know that there are some of you who think that I’m a conspiracy theorist. That the medical system is there to help. I believe that many of the folks involved in the day to day operations of the medical system ARE there to help, but the system has failed us…miserably…and it is not getting better.
If you are currently looking for help, if you’ve been told that your disease is going to kill you, please look for help from someone outside of the system. Seek out someplace like Healing Arts Center Valparaiso, or the hundreds (if not thousands) of businesses who have the ability to help you to heal.
More importantly, learn about your disease. Learn about the online communities of people who have gathered together to document their diagnosis and healing treatments. Learn everything you can about your disease because that is the only true way that you will be able to heal yourself. Your doctor may want to help, but he isn’t fighting for his life. If you truly want to live then act like it, learn everything you can to help you to live. It isn’t fun. It isn’t glamorous. But you’ll have more hope than you can imagine.

My Experience
I am a medical intuitive and Licensed Professional Counselor who works with clients all over the world. I take a great deal of time finding practitioners who are qualified and caring enough to work with my precious clients, so I am very particular. Without hesitation, I refer them to Dr. Kimberling and the Healing Arts Center Valparaiso. My clients RAVE about this place and Dr. Kimberling! They offer so many services and are extremely caring and knowledgeable. They are able to treat difficult conditions like Lyme Disease with innovative and very effective methods, which is rare, even when there are supposed to be so many Lyme Disease specialists. Dr. Kimberling uses a very appropriate mix of natural and traditional medicine, while always using natural methods whenever possible. I am very impressed with her and if I didn’t live in a different time zone, I would go there myself. Thank you for taking such good care of my clients.

From Nola
Oh, how I wish that I would have met you years ago! You have made such an impression on our church members and each day someone else approaches me telling me something interesting that they had gotten from your very interesting presentation. The handouts were easy for all to understand and resourceful. I can’t thank you enough for coming and spending 2+ hours giving us such needed information.
– Nola S. on 10/23/2015
Outside Allergies
I came to The Healing Arts Center on June 22, 2015 for my first treatment. Before I arrived, I spent most of my time in my home because I would have an allergic reaction if I was outside, around anyone wearing perfume, anyone smoking or any place where there were animals. Basically I was having allergic reactions that included my throat closing, getting headaches, having trouble breathing and itching, to most things outside of my home and control. On September 12, 2015 I was able to attend our daughter’s wedding I thought would be impossible because it was an outdoor wedding. On the wedding day I was outside for nine hours and two the evening before for the rehearsal. I had no reaction to the bonfire, the cigarette smoke, the ragweed or any other allergen that used to keep me indoors. I’m grateful.

Mark’s Story
I’ve been coming to Healing Arts Center for the past few months in 2014. Thanks to the help I’ve received here, my family and I were able to receive diagnoses for Lyme disease and we began appropriate treatment both here and at a local clinic. I detox regularly with the ionic foot bath and use the Rife machine, both to much benefit. I have a previous background of research and experimentation with alternative medicine. I’ve had a litany of emotional issues which were mostly resolved, but the Healing Arts Center was able to further clear me of past emotional traumas. The sessions I’ve received here are the most cost-effective and required the least amount of time in comparison to other avenues I’ve tried in the past.
– Mark Green in April of 2014
Improvements
I appreciate everything you do for me. I have hope again, and that in itself is a big deal. I also have noticed improvements in my health in as little as a week! You are all so caring and compassionate, and I look forward to coming here each day to work on improving my health, and when I walk in the door my mood brightens. Just wanted to say I am beyond grateful for all you do! Thank you!

Autism
Our son, Michael, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder shortly after his 4th birthday. We have looked into many ways to help our son become the best version of who he is supposed to be. After several ART treatments, Michael has told us that his brain feels like is beginning to “line up.” My husband and I can only imagine what it must be like to be in his brain and his body, but we are encouraged when we hear things like that come from him. He told us that some days his brain feels “crazy”, but that after his treatments his brain feels “lined up.” I cannot think of a better endorsement of ART and how it is helping my child than that.

Our Jogging Lady
I just jogged about one and a half miles and my little dog was ahead of me every step of the way. That’s okay because I feel great. Just three years ago I was wearing a cane to walk around and used a disabled parking tag because of rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. Now my Fibro has been completely gone for 3 months and my RA is just minimal. Thank goodness for Reiki and the earth’s healing power. I never thought I would walk without a limp let alone jog again. This is an incredible day God has given me.

Chronic Canker Sores Gone!
Anyone who knows me knows that I suffer from chronic canker sores. I have seen many doctors – ENT, family practice, internist, and dentist – and not one has ever been able to help me. After my 4th ART treatment I noticed that I have not had a canker sore in quite awhile. This is a huge deal as I have had at least one, usually more, every day of my adult life except during pregnancy. Mine are not just canker sores. They are craters – huge painful places you’d never imagine on my tonsils, my uvula, under and all around my tongue, on my gums, the roof of my mouth and in the well of my mouth. I have never been able to pinpoint “why.” I always thought it was hormonal, but even after menopause I was still getting them. ART has changed all that.
A year and a half ago I got eczema on my legs, arms and hairline. It pops up in different places. After 4 ART treatments I only have a little bit on one arm and a little bit on my head. I’ve been seeing a dermatologist since the beginning. I have been told “there’s nothing you can do for it, just treat the symptoms.” With ART there’s a lot that can be done. I know that I will soon be clear of eczema. ART will change your life if you let it. Dr. Renee is wonderful. I am so happy to have found them and I know you would be, too. Give it a try. You’ll be glad you did!

Smoke Free!
I have been a smoker for 35 years. As my 50th birthday approached, I developed palpitations and other health issues and decided it was time to quit smoking. I had tried several times before to quit and managed to do so twice: once for 2 years and once for 10 months, only to resume smoking again. I discussed my need to quit smoking with Renee’ and she treated me on a cellular level and I quit that day. I had some food cravings that arose as a result and she treated those as well. It has been 3 weeks since I have had a cigarette, but the most remarkable part is that I don’t WANT to smoke. It’s actually like I never smoked at all. I give my ART treatments total credit for helping me stop smoking.

Tammy’s Children
I have 3 children and all 3 of them have been treated by Renee’. Renee’ treated my oldest son for acid reflux and lactose intolerance. She treated my middle son for stomach problems and my daughter for acid reflux. Without her help I would be paying for lactose free milk and acid medicine every month.
My oldest has been lactose intolerant since birth. I had to buy lactose free foods, which are very expensive. He had his first Dairy Queen ice cream at the age of 11. It is nice to go as a family. We couldn’t do that until he was treated. He also had acid reflux. He had to take a pill every day and we had to pay for them out of our pocket. After being treated he is no longer on medicine and I am glad he is off of them. The doctors told me he would be on them for the rest of his life.
My middle child had stomach pain for 3 months. He would complain about 7:00 P.M. every night and wake up in the morning fine. We took him to the doctors and they ran test after test without finding anything. I decided to see what Renee’ thought and found out he had parasites and bacteria in his system. I am not sure how he got them. With the help of Renee’ he is doing great. He has not had a stomach ache since being treated.
My daughter was born 5 weeks early. She has had problems with her throat since birth. She had been on acid reflux medicine off and on since she was born. I had her treated with my oldest one and she is also off her medicine. I did not realize how many allergies she had that were affecting her health. Now she is healthy and growing.
I suffer from migraines and just found out that I am allergic to oranges. I can’t wait to eat oranges again but I don’t like to break out with hives and have my throat close up either. Until then I will have to stay away from anything orange and take my migraine medicine. I am going to start my treatment with Renee’ this summer. Renee has helped my family out and I know she can help you, too.

Pearlie’s Little Miracle
I have been going once a week [for ART treatments] since April 12th 2010. My brain is not foggy. My Sinuses are clear. I breathe well. My cholesterol is 130. My hair is not coarse, is thicker and is turning black again. My skin and muscle tone are much better. My blood sugar is normal. I am not making any more gallstones. The lumps in my body and fingers are almost gone. The pain that was a constant (in my knee) for 15 years is completely gone. After 40 or so years of back problems, my back has not been out in months. My osteoporosis is gone. All my glands and organs are working very well. My varicose veins are better. My emotions and energy are great. My intestines are better than they have been my entire life. I can work circles around most people and I’m 72 years old. I take no medication and have lost weight. ART and Renee’ Kimberling are a precious gift from God!
– P. Conley in 2010
Thankful for ART
Because of ART and Renee’ Kimberling, I have more energy, less anxiety and my heart is regular and stronger. My bowels are regular and I have easier elimination. In 2002, I contacted a virus and was hospitalized 3 times because of it. The virus is no longer affecting me. Renee’ has removed this virus from my body and it will no longer be able to surface again.
My Rheumatoid Arthritis and memory problems are also gone. My blood is not Iron poor anymore.
If someone tried to give me back all the money I spent on ART plus more, I would not take it. I have not felt this good in years, and I am very thankful to ART and Renee’ for helping my body systems work the way God intended.
I am 77 years old and I am able to take care of a garden, can my own food, help out my family and I still have energy left to enjoy life as it comes. I will always appreciate what ART has done for me.
– P. Dobson in May of 2011
Thank You Renee
Renee’ is just a wonderful person, very caring and not in it for the money. She has helped me get rid of my anxiety spells, and allergy to metal so I can wear my dentures. She took me out of complete pain when she used Rossiter on me. Until then I couldn’t even walk right! In fact, I didn’t think I would even walk the way I used to!
She’s always thinking about her patients and very concerned if they’re in pain.
I’m very happy that I am seeing her for my allergies and she told me I needed to schedule a dentist appointment for the taste in my mouth and I did!
– J. Waddle in June of 2011
Severe Digestive Problems
I began seeing Renee’ in March 2011. I am a 29-year-old woman with SEVERE digestion problems and anxiety among other things. I hadn’t had much relief over the sudden onset two years prior. I had tried Western medicine and many meds, acupuncture and Chinese herbs, natural supplements and homeopathy but when all was said and done, I couldn’t keep weight on. I was allergic (blood tests) to so many foods (over 40), I was eating about 10-15 foods at best that my last doctor had put me on. Eating was massively painful from my throat to my intestines, every time, everyday…for 2 years. I read about ART and thought it was intriguing. I came to see Renee’ and it has been 5 months and I have put on some weight and fairly comfortably and have added a few new foods, the pain is going down and the anxiety is much less. I do still have some inflammation and know I have a ways to go but ART and Renee’ are saving my life, when no one else knew why my body was rejecting supplements and meds and food…energy medicine did. To say I am thankful for ART would be an understatement, it is helping to give me my life back. Renee’ is one of the most genuine people I have met in my life. She truly practices compassion and you get what you give to the world. She is an inspiring woman who is helping to save and change lives. Energy medicine is life altering. Experience it for yourself and spread the word. I wish whomever is reading this realizes they too can find relief and begin a healing process. Love and Light.
– Christina Bianco-Jessen in July of 2011
UPDATE: November 2011
I came to Renee in March 2011 for debilitating digestive ailments that no one could figure out after some prescription medications (I tried homeopathy, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, western medicine, to name some of the routes I tried) but I quickly lost 40 pounds in 2009/2010 and was struggling to keep on what I had left when I came to see her I originally weighed 135. I had ulcers in my stomach, throat, etc. I had massive anxieties and was so worn out, I was told I had 10 safe foods by the Dr. before her…and even those were massively painful. I was in pure survival mode in retrospect. Simple life tasks were very difficult, I had to leave my job, etc. I have made leaps and bounds of progress in my 8 months with her. It has been a lot of work (but I’m told I’m a complicated case) but I have been absolutely blessed for every healing second of it. I am now 125 pounds and experience less anxiety…and these just happened, it wasn’t like I had to try really hard to put weight back on. I just got some routine blood work done by my western Dr. and they wanted Renee’s phone number because they were so impressed, they said everything looked very good. I am still a work in progress but have been able to eat things I wasn’t able to eat upon coming to see her and do things that were difficult before. I am so thankful for Dr. Renee’ and her staff and ART. They have truly felt like angels when my world was collapsing by the second. I just knew somewhere there was somebody that would know how to help me heal…and boy did I find the right place. Infinite love and gratitude to Renee’ and her staff. I have no words to describe how grateful I am for you guys.
Blessing My Life
I adopted a kitten and soon found my skin irritated and covered in hives. Not wanting to give up my cat… I turned to ART. After three treatments, all my symptoms were alleviated. I was also unable to eat wheat, chicken, and yeast without experiencing irritable stomach aches, cramps, and fatigue. I had several ART treatments and now I am able to eat a variety of foods again without any symptoms.
– Sarah in August of 2011
YAHOO!
Ate wheat; NO pain. First time in 5 decades.
– Carol in December of 2011
Autism
I have been bringing in 2 of my children to be treated by Dr. Renee Kimberling using ART since August 2011 in hopes to treat their autism. They are 4 years old and 5 years old. Every time my children finished their treatment, and especially after the 25-hour avoidance, they were more “connected”, aware of their surrounds, better eye contact, better speech and language, more social.
I am truly thankful of the treatment that cleared the person-to-person allergy between my son and me. He went of screaming literally 6-8 hours a day and unable to be comforted by me to snuggling, and total relaxation in my arms. Can you imagine as a mother seeing your child suffering and as he reaches out to you, your presence causes him even more distress? Thank goodness Dr. Kimberling was able to clear my little boy of that allergy.
Another huge allergy cleared for my son was gluten. After this was done, my son had no more abdominal cramping, indigestion, and it was as if a “switch turned on in his little head”. He was laughing and happy as if celebrating his newfound comfort.
My 2 sons so far have been coming for treatment 9 months of average 1-2 times a week. We are so fortunate to have found Dr. Kimberling and ART because this treatment is not available everywhere. We are still continuing our “conventional treatments” of ABA therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy and following up with Developmental Pediatricians and Child Psychiatrists and Child Psychologists. In their ABA (Behavior) Center, the therapists always tell me they can’t believe how quickly my boys are making progress!!! Their behavior and educational programs have to be continually updated to keep up with their rapid progress. I know this is because the allergies that once impaired my little boys’ natural progession through school, family life, social situations are finally gone and “real” learning and finally get absorbed in their little brains the way it was meant to be.
We are not finished with ART treatments yet. With the degree of allergies in my little boys I cannot speculate how long it will take to complete our treatments. I do plan on completing the full ART therapy with my boys eventually. This is the best gift I can give to them… a chance at a life with much fewer obstacles.

Take The First Step On Your Journey Back To Health
Have some questions you’d like to ask before you make a decision on becoming a patient? Our staff is standing by, happy to answer any questions you have to see whether or not Healing Arts Center is right for you.
