Sano Wellness Center - Lakeville, Minnesota

5 years ago I was dealing with a nasty infection that my Western medicine doctors were unable to treat. From my first visit with Dr. Christine I knew I was where I was meant to be and that I would finally start healing. With diet change, supplements and a lot of rest I started regaining strength and feeling like myself again. Since then I have continued to experience deeper healing and greater health. I am so grateful for the help and treatments I have received at Sano. The entire team has been supportive and kind.

Our daughter, Hannah, has suffered concussion syndrome for the past few years, and recently she had a gymnastics accident that set her back physically, spiritually and emotionally. When I first reached out to Sano Wellness, I was in tears, I felt so helpless. Upon calling, I was greeted by Becky with care, compassion and a desire to help. I made an appointment at Sano and we met with Angie and Dr. Christine. After reviewing treatment options, we were excited to move forward with the care plan laid out for her, which included not only physical but mental and spiritual healing as well. Following Hannah's first appointment with with Dr. Christine, she seemed to have had a spiritual breakthrough. As we were driving home, Hannah said, "Mom my heart feels different!” I noticed that some of the heaviness was gone and she had renewed hope. We continued to go to Sano regularly for Pod/Neurofeedback sessions, along with herbal supplements. Hannah has continued to make progress to a point where she is happy, hopeful and engaged in regular activities again. As parents, we are so thankful and would recommend Sano to anyone seeking natural healing. We are so happy to have our daughter back!

I had bad digestive issues including gallstones, along with extreme fatigue. I wanted real healing rather than surgery and drugs, and fortunately found Sano. Dr. Stueve helped clear the gallstones (and save my gallbladder) and got my GI system back on track. I used to get frequent colds and sinus infections as well. Now my immune system and energy level are much better. The methods may seem unorthodox but have worked very well for me!

Before I start this review, take note that two of the four 5-star ratings for Sano Wellness are from the same last name as the owner (Stueve). I had high hopes for this place as I was referred for OCD treatment for my 10-yr old by a co-worker (which later I found out her daughter had totally different treatment here than my daughter for the same issue, which I don't understand). It was required to take multiple tests over $1k before any "treatment" could be done. This included Heart Rate Variability Assessment, Thermometry Scan, & Brain MAP. There were FIVE, yes FIVE people in the room during my daughter's first "therapy" session which consisted of questions and placing hands or their leg on my daughter while tapping their fingers together sensing energy and telling her she was a warrior princess. Dr Stueve put my daughter on supplements-pituitrophin & hypothalamus 3x/day. It was recommended my daughter go gluten & dairy free and go through "lymph drainage treatments" which consisted of her laying down and these paddle-like things on her for 15-60 minutes. You are charged per minute and the length depends on how "blocked" she was (the machine was supposed to detox her body). Each time was progressively longer. After about two months, I was told by Teresa (NHP) that my daughter had about 20 treatments left (at least $100 each time--Sano does not take insurance and has you sign something from the start that you acknowledge it.) I had been told two days prior by Dr Stueve that my daughter had only a "few" lymph treatments to go before we could proceed to OCD treatment--which to them meant neurofeedback (which by the way, they had no in-house success stories with OCD from anyone who had undergone neurofeedback). When I questioned Teresa, I was told that Dr Stueve would be more accurate as she had the whole picture. Big difference between a "few" and "20"! That was the last time I went in. I spent thousands of dollars for all that testing & lymph treatments (mad at myself for all the appts we did but when you spend that much money you feel vested to continue and hope something will come out of it) and no progression of any improvement whatsoever, actually her OCD symptoms were worse after starting and she was miserable trying to eat such a restrictive diet. I sent an email to Dr Christine Stueve about how my daughter was actually much worse and questioned the inconsistency of the information given. Her response was that she was sorry I had a negative view of my daughter's recommendations and progress and that the body takes time to heal. No empathy whatsoever towards my daughter as a person and how she was worse, just defended her process. We saw Dr Stueve last year. I am writing this review now because my daughter saw an actual OCD therapist that she made improvement after 1 session and huge strides after 6. In summary...I would not recommend Sano Wellness.
