Our 17-year-old daughter has had really bad oral allergies for 6 years now (about 35 raw fruits/veggies). We stumbled upon the SAAT Treatment while looking for something totally unrelated, and started to wonder if it may help our daughter. We were excited to find out that Dr. Robin, at Holistic Healing Arts in Englewood, provided this treatment. We were encouraged from the first visit. Dr. Robin was kind, caring, and very professional. She was also honest about the SAAT Technique. It's just not a "given" for it to work on everyone. We decided that it was worth the attempt. A few weeks after her SAAT Treatment, our daughter tried a very small piece of apple and she had no reaction (the allergic reaction was normally fast and obvious). So a few days later she tried a larger piece and, again, no reaction. Next, she tried lettuce and then bananas. Same result. We could not believe it. We are about 4 months from the treatment and could not be more excited that she is still able to eat these items (and hopefully more)! It's fascinating that something like this can really work! We are grateful to have Dr. Robin in our corner. She has been a capable professional with a super personal touch. We're hopeful that our daughter will have success with more raw fruits/veggies in the future. As you can imagine, it has been a game-changer for her (and us). Thank you Dr. Robin! Worth every penny... Steve & Renee

Over the past 12 years, I have seen 5 different acupuncturists (several sessions each) with no discernable effects.
Recently and fortunately I became aware of Dr. Robin Roarke, a doctor of Chinese Medicine, an educator, and an acupuncturist, with additional skills in her tool box. Her practice is called Holistic Healing Arts, in Englewood Florida. After meeting with her twice, I realized significant improvement in my physical condition and my emotional well-being. Dr. Roarke is one of a kind. Her knowledge, expertise, outstanding assessment tools, plus the variety of techniques and skills that she brings to our sessions ....are impressive. Her empathy, compassion and advice are reflected in her interpersonal skills. My rebellious body and my mind are appreciative of her talent and uniqueness. I look forward to our future sessions with hope, confidence and inspiration. I had a wonderful experience with Robin today! She is very thorough & truly cares! The office is so beautiful & tranquil! I am looking forward to my next visit! Thank you Robin!
Dr. Robin has been treating me for many years, and one specific ailment says how efficient she is. I had a malady in that my SI joint, my muscles were so tight. I was in so much pain and could barely walk. After just one treatment I was able to dance that night, and have been doing fine ever since. She listens, and treats what ails you. Thank you Dr. Robin for the attention you give to all your patients.
I made an appointment to see Dr. Robin Roarke with hopes she could help with my sleep issues. Although I was healthy and active, anxiety and one or two nightly bathroom visits were severely disrupting my sleep and taking a toll on my mental and physical health. I had been taking xanax which helped me sleep but I feared becoming addicted. After only a few acupuncture treatments and a chinese herbal supplement I was sleeping better. After 9 treatments I was sleeping better than I had in years without Xanax or sleep aids of any kind.
Along with sleeping success, my level of anxiety had diminished greatly and I was so much more comfortable with myself in social outings and situations that had previously brought me concern. Dr. Robin is more than an acupuncturist. She's a warm and caring combination of therapist and cheerleader. I highly recommend her for physical, mental, and emotional issues~ I have been struggling with pain since I ruptured my right shoulder a year and a half ago. I can’t have surgery because I have celiac disease and it would take 6 months to heal and of course the doctor will not guarantee that the surgery will fix the problem. I have had 2 cortisone shots that have only relieved the pain for about 2 weeks each time. I refuse to have any more shots. I don’t want that stuff floating around in my body. That said, I decided to give Acupuncture a try. I am seeing Dr. Robin Roarke who has a clinic on Dearborn St in Englewood. I can’t tell you how much this has helped me. I have had 4 visits so far and it is the first time in a year that I have no pain. She also has been giving me whole body treatments to improve my circulation . This has been a godsend to me. My digestive health has improve and I am eating and sleeping so well. I used to have horrible stomach pain on a daily basis, now I am pain free. I have more energy than I have had in years.
Dr. Robin also is a board certified Herbalist and my husband and I are going to try using herbal capsules instead of Statins for our high cholesterol . For the past 6 years, I have suffered from “IBS”- a cluster of digestive symptoms marked by abdominal bloating, distention, drastic changes in bowel habits and lack of energy. I tried in vain to find the answer to my symptoms in the medical community – 2 Gastrointestinal Specialists, a huge battery of tests, 2 medications, a number of diet changes and over the counter medications that all brought no answer to my symptoms. As my symptoms continued, IBS was having a huge impact on my life – it was increasingly difficult to plan and accept invitations to social activities, to travel, and to work. I was often exhausted as my sleep was interrupted with abdominal bloating and discomfort. IBS became a main factor in my decision to retire. I kept searching for the answer as medical doctors told me there was nothing further they could offer me. Holistic Healing Arts and Dr. Robin Roarke was that answer!! I confess initially I was skeptical as I am a retired nurse having practiced 35 years in acute care but I was determined to find an answer and change in the trajectory of my life. Dr. Robin listened intently to me and my IBS story, validated and explained all of what I had been experiencing in a very different light. She shared the process and goals of acupuncture and I committed to this process initially with twice a week sessions. From the start, I experienced slow but steady progress as herbal supplements, stretching exercises and diet changes were added to my treatment plan that also improved all my symptoms. It has been a journey of steady progress with a setback or two but Dr. Robin never failed to listen, to believe in me and the process and today some of my symptoms are completely gone while others have drastically improved as my body healed itself. Acupuncture has given me a new lease on life and provided the healing and management that traditional medicine failed to provide. Today, I feel completely different from the person I was on my first visit and so look forward to continued progress and the road ahead. It can seem like a long road initially as we are indeed a culture of immediate gratification. I urge you to have patience with yourself and the process. You are worth it! I have learned it takes time to undo years and years of symptoms and to impact their causation. We are blessed to have such a competent, knowledgeable, patient, and caring acupuncture physician within our community! Bless yourself with the opportunity to start your journey to healing! |
