  • Amy Gannon, Mom

    My daughter Zoe has been complaining of stomach aches – she’s 6-1/2 now – probably since she was 3, 3-1/2. She also is a super-sensitive child, so she has a lot of emotions within her, and they come out a lot. About that same time, when that started happening more often, then came the stomach aches.

    We have tried so many different ways of looking at the stomach aches, and for a long time restricting gluten and dairy seemed to help a lot. We’ve been seeing a chiropractor nutritionist, so we’ve eliminated a lot of other foods. Everything seems to work for a brief period of time, then the stomach aches come back.

    It was just to the point where dinner time was horrible, she would get stomach aches right before she’d sit down. She wouldn’t eat. She’d go lie on the couch because her stomach was hurting. We had a couple of remedies we would give her, but she was pretty much not eating after about 5 o’clock every day.

    Since we worked together, it’s been amazing! The stomach aches are gone completely. It’s been about a month and normally it was at least 2-3 stomach aches a day, and now it’s just no longer a part of our day.

    It shifted really quickly, like literally the next day after we worked with you. And it’s just done. We don’t have it anymore. I’m so grateful. My husband is grateful. I want to do some work on myself.

  • Beth A.

    Before beginning to work with you [2-1/2 years ago], I weighed over 500 pounds. My eating was out of control. I was housebound.

    I was hoping to delve into issues of unworthiness, my failed marriage, and my excess weight. I ended up experiencing a river of love that is incredible.

    I’ve seen I have an addiction to sugar, but that doesn’t define me. God defines me. My relationship with the Divine
    Spirit is the most important thing in my life. And I honor that relationship by seeing food as fuel for my body instead of an emotional crutch.

    My work with you has brought me an emotional maturity to commit to a program with lasting results.

    My life is growing exponentially: As of today, I have lost 277 pounds!! I am no longer housebound! I have independence! I have a car! I have a cell phone instead of a landline! I got my life back! I know the truth of who I am!

    UPDATE: It has now been 5 years, and Beth has lost 337 pounds!

    Debra’s class [I Love My Guts] is a gateway to loving yourself to health and freedom. She teaches a step-by-step method that brought new and unexpected awareness to my impulsive eating.

    Disgust and embarrassment transformed into joyful loving acceptance. I have a new appreciation for my body and have a completely different self-talk dialog.

    The best part is that this method is something that can be applied to any difficult and uncomfortable life situation. I can be as free as I choose to be!

    Debra makes a cleanse into a deeply healing experience. I’d never done one like this before. Before, I’d thought of cleanses as being mainly about helping the body to release toxins, which of course they are. But in Debra’s group cleanse we were able to use the cleaning process to help release emotional tensions and habits of mind that have been holding us back from being fully ourselves in the world as well. The process of setting and reviewing intentions has led to new insights and opportunities I couldn’t have imagined when we began. What a wonderful way to welcome in the spring.

  • Lisa H.

    What this class [Food, Weight & Feminine Power] has given me is an awareness of the enormity of the power, the gifts, and the trust that we’ve been given to carry in this feminine energy, and gratitude and humility about that power.

  • Halima G

    I had a huge energetic opening. This course helped me open to being seen, and to take time to touch again with my essential feminine aspect, and this is opening up a whole other journey from here.

  • Linda N.

    I’m so grateful. We all feel so different to me. When the class started [Food, Weight & Feminine Power], I was really hurting and struggling, and not sure I could keep on going. Now I’m doing my work again, teaching meditation again. So many doors are opening. Now people are treating me in the way you teach that we are supposed to be treated. Deeply grateful to you.

  • Eileen M. O’Connor, MD. Psychiatrist

    It is a pleasure to recommend Debra Graugnard as a spiritual healer. She has been extremely helpful to me and to my family. I have personally worked with several good or extraordinary healers, and Debra is my favorite.
    She is extremely caring, focused and intuitive, sensitive, flexible, effective, and is devoted to her work and to her clients.

  • Kim Phipps

    When I had my Soul Nutrient Healing session, I was suffering from joint pain. Every movement I made was painful and affected my mental thoughts and my emotional well-being. In short, I felt HORRIBLE! I was also skeptical that the Soul Nutrient Healing would help me. I figured that at the least I would feel relaxed and peaceful and that was certainly something I needed.

    Debra is so loving and nurturing, that the care she gave me helped me relax immediately. I started to cry as a release because of the love that was coming thru her hands. Love heals and this is certainly what comes through her. The session was peaceful, loving, and I felt IMMENSELY cared for. It was the BEST I had felt in months in terms of my mental and emotional state. I felt she had given me a well-being boost. This alone was enough, but more was to come.

    Within several hours I noticed that the joint pain had immensely lessened. This was the first relief I had in months. While the joint pain didn’t go away, the lessened pain stayed thereafter and was a new phase in my healing journey.

    In addition, I had several other breakthroughs that were answers to prayers that I had been holding in my heart for months. This session with Debra was truly a life-altering event! The love and light that comes through her is amazing.

  • Jamila C.

    I came to this class [Freedom From Emotional Eating] because I knew I had emotions attached to the way I ate food. I had a strong sweet tooth that I didn’t have control over. I was hoping for increased awareness. I got a whole lot more! About halfway through the class, I no longer had a sugar tooth. Sugar didn’t give me the same satisfaction anymore.

    I also received awareness of my next step to becoming more connected with my body and a realization of how important it is to take care of my body. I felt I received deep healing from being on the calls.

    I no longer binge at night after the kids go to sleep. I used to soothe myself with food. It used to consume me – I could think of nothing else. Now when emotions come up, I can let them go more quickly and turn to other things that are more healthy.

    Now I’m in a place where I have been able to bring in a healthy recovery diet for my whole family in a way that is very healing for all of us – with no discomfort or struggle.

    I see myself more clearly now and I love what I have, even though I have been in much better physical shape before having children. And this is radiating to my whole family.

    I can’t say enough about I Love My Guts. Debra Graugnard not only brings together a wealth of knowledge about the digestive system but imparts great wisdom and understanding on how to get to the roots of bodily and spiritual discomfort. For those who truly yearn for insight and healing, I Love My Guts will change your life.

  • Beth G. Raps, Ph.D.

    Debra is amazing. Her work is a stellar combination of intuition, deep wisdom, and wide learning along with superb skills. She created the conditions for healing of a condition I had endured for months without understanding or being able to change. I recommend her work and her integrity without reservation.

  • Fran A.

    I’ve studied with several spiritual teachers before, but Debra has put together a step-by-step method for healing that is like a “recipe for enlightenment”. The healing is just so quick!

  • Sumayya B.

    Debra has helped me to experience God’s vast ocean of love like no other healer has. It has been a truly amazing journey.

  • Jennifer P.

    I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how grateful I am to have participated in your group [I Love My Guts]. I received so much. My belly issues have decreased to a much lesser degree! I feel like I’m making better food choices and am more “in tune” with my body’s needs. I love the process and the way it gives each part its due. I really appreciated having time on the last call to travel as a group. This format was so rich and deep for me. Thanks for all your giving.

  • Naomi S.

    Debra helped me so much in getting through a very nasty separation from my job. I had given my all to my job for years, and out of the blue, a new CEO fired me. Debra helped me to find the silver linings in what happened to me, allowing me to see that I had done nothing wrong and that I could pick up the pieces and move forward. She helped me to see the blessings of a new start that would be absent from the painful treatment that I had been accorded in my old job. I will be eternally grateful to Debra for helping me through this horrible ordeal.

  • Ali P.

    The teachings in this program [I Love My Guts] have really made a difference for me. I’ve realized small changes. I’m changing in small increments that I feel will last indefinitely.

    The biggest difference is more awareness. I notice when I am triggered, and I’m in touch with my reactions. Sometimes I notice them after I’ve already eaten the donuts or cupcakes, but I recognize the behaviors and trace them back to the triggers, so I learn from my patterns. My awareness is increased for the next time that situation arises or that emotion is triggered. I am more aware each time, and I can make more conscious choices.

  • Mary N.

    The compassion, mercy, and knowledge that Donna and Debra showed in the Harness Your Hunger class fostered a truly supportive environment. The thing that was most helpful to me was the small group support. With the numbers being small, it allowed time for all of us to share and get the support that we really needed during the holidays.

    I made small, but significant changes in my food choices during the course, and I felt like I had a little reminder to make smart food choices because I knew I was going to be sharing each week with the group about my choices.

    Now, I am trying to ask God for guidance in making spiritually rich food choices for the overall health of my body in each moment.

  • Angela G.

    Being in the Harness [Harness Your Hunger] group was extremely helpful over the holidays. At a time when extra stress often causes me to be more unconscious, the most helpful thing was staying connected in a heart-opening way with other like-minded women. Just committing to come together every week with Debra and Donna and the other kind participants helped me stay focused on goals and to be more intentional with my week. Regular check-ins and conscious assignments were extremely helpful. In the beginning, I thought my “goal” was to make it through the Holidays without going crazy on extra holiday food, especially sugar. What I discovered was that in the end, the goal became about how to live more consciously and walk with God no matter what the stressors, and in doing that, the food thing just sort of took care of itself.

    Since the class, I have stayed more aware of the connection between stress and eating and have been able to use the tools such as journaling and Remembrance to bring God into my interactions, including the desire to overeat. I have been able to bring more compassion to myself (and consequently to others) during large family gatherings and stay grounded in my everyday life. I am especially kinder to myself in my expectations.
