“Prior to working with Kimber at Flora, I had been struggling with numerous GI issues including bloating, recurrent silent reflux, changes in bowel habits, and constant globulus sensation symptoms. I had been diagnosed with mild gastritis and chronic GERD. My symptoms started at age 34, when I was a year postpartum after my first child. I had never struggled with any issues like these in my entire life, so it was discouraging when my GI just gave me medications and simply chalked it up to being a part of getting older and now having chronic GERD. I also met with 2 dietitians who would breeze through the appointments and email me a bunch of handouts at the end of the sessions. I took numerous PPIs and anti-reflux medications with little to no relief. Furthermore, my social life and anxiety continued to deteriorate as I was growing increasingly frustrated and hopeless with my continued symptoms and zero change. After navigating these symptoms for 12 months, meeting with 2 different GI docs and 2 dietitians, I finally decided to give Flora a try after seeing it pop up on my FYP.

After my first meeting with Kimber, I felt so much more hopeful than I had in MONTHS. Kimber was so validating, and took the time to hear out my entire history. She came into the session prepared and aware of all of the history in my paperwork. She did a wonderful job of providing much needed education and offering support that my other providers had not. Kimber had SO many alternative solutions, suggestions, and supplements that had never been mentioned in any of my other appointments. As well as excellent recommendations for additional testing I could request. She was thorough in her assessments and explanations. I was provided with a structured and CONCRETE plan that was MUTUALLY created. I finally felt like I had some direction and something I could ACTUALLY follow. As a new mom working fulltime, I needed something I didn’t have to think about too much because I honestly didn’t have the time or bandwidth. This was another aspect of working with Kimber that I truly appreciated. She has a deep understanding of the hormonal changes we navigate in our postpartum journeys and how these can impact our gut health. I signed up for the 3 month program and felt such a difference in every aspect of my life! After 4 months, I am feeling better than ever, with minimal symptoms that I now know how to better control and manage. My overall stress levels and quality of life have improved significantly since beginning my journey with Flora.

I honestly loved everything about the way this program is structured. It is so easy to access and follow your plan, as well as the updates to your plan. The consistent follow-ups that you get with your provider are also extremely helpful. As someone who always had to wait the typical 3 months before seeing her GI only to speak with them for a quick 15 mins and sent on her way, it was SO refreshing to know I had several sessions planned out every two weeks and to be able to monitor the changes more intentionally with my provider. I honestly feel this impacted my anxiety in such a positive way, which further helped promote better gut healing. Furthermore, the FLORA app is INCREDIBLE and has so many wonderful resources that are all so helpful in one’s healing journey. I could not recommend this more..”
