For several years I have suffered from depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I have also in the last couple of years developed some other health issues. I have struggled with weight gain and loss and have had issues with balancing a healthy lifestyle. I have done all the doctor and counselling appointments and all they want to do it put you on a bunch of medications that makes you feel worse or like a zombie. With the anxiety’s, I have prescription medicine that scares the crap out of me. I feel like the doctors just don’t listen to you and just want to medicate you with crap.
I started doing research on natural medicine and wanted to go that path but was not confident in my self to do it. And then I found my angel of a person that has made me believe that I can do this and that there is hope. I met Colleen with Siphon Draw Apothecary. She has been so amazing. Not only does she know what she is doing when it comes to a natural lifestyle of living, she listens to you and your wants and needs and doesn’t judge you for your fears of feelings. She has lived a life of the unknown and can relate to people. Her caring and compassion for her clients is unheard of these day. Her knowledge is mind blowing and her drive to make a person feel that they can do this and are not alone in this, is an answer to my prayers.
I am in the very early stage of my natural lifestyle journey but in just the last few weeks I feel better just knowing I have a great teacher/coach with knowledge in my corner. Not to mention the products that she has for all different needs from health and skin care, and much more is amazing.
I highly recommend that if you are wanting to go the natural lifestyle route and not sure about it or where to start, reach out to Colleen you will not be disappointed.

Colleen has changed my life in big ways and all for the better. Her hands on, tailored approach really catered to my individual needs and circumstances. Her passion for and commitment to nutrition, well-being, and helping others is clear from the start, which inspires trust and confidence in her methods. Because of working with Colleen, I now have the ability to improve my health conditions using a nutrition-based, holistic approach. I went from having painful intestinal issues practically daily to being freed of the shackles of that chronic pain. I have also been able to reduce the number of prescriptions I take. Now I am able to identify what my particular body needs me to avoid and needs me to feed it so it can thrive. I finally have the knowledge base, kitchen skills, and help from personalized supplements my body needs, which combined provide me the tools I needed to take the reins with my health. My leaky gut is healing! I honestly probably recall a lesson I learned from her each and every time I shop for groceries. I feel like Colleen gave me power, she empowered me to affect positive change in my health. She’ll help you become the best version of yourself.

Love you!!

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND, to anyone, to use Siphon Draw Nutrition. About a year ago, I started working with Colleen to improve my health through nutrition. I have a rare inflammatory disease, and I wanted to try to control it more by controlling my diet. I was overwhelmed, and had no idea where to begin. I’d be lying if I said there weren’t a few times I cried in the grocery store due to the new restrictions I had (dairyfree, gluten free, sugar free), but Colleen made it way more manageable and less overwhelming. I was able, with the help of Colleen, to not only find new, amazing meals, but also replace staples in my and my family’s household with healthier, gf/df alternatives. She also recommended high quality supplements to pair with my changing diet. It took some learning, and getting used to, but again, she made learning a lot less overwhelming.

In the first 4 months of changing how I ate, a lot of my health issues had improved. I was no longer anemic, my cholesterol went from high to normal, and my ferrtin rate was less (what is used to measure inflammation in the blood). And I was able to eliminate pharmaceuticals I took for those issues. I had also been overweight my entire life, despite being athletic/active. I had always just chalked it up to genetics. After changing how I eat, I lost 50 pounds in the first 4 months, and 70 total. Much of that was from places on my body, that no matter how much I worked out and targeted those areas, I’d never be able to tone them before (it was inflammation). The best improvement was my energy level. I had always had issues with having peaks and valleys throughout the day with my energy. Since changing my overall nutrition, my energy level has been higher, and way more consistent. Having a rare disease, and being chronically ill, requires me to have blood work done every 3 months. My rheumatologist was impressed by the overall Improvement in my blood work in such a short time. I am not medication free, but I am a lot less dependent on medication for quality of life. I look forward to continuing to work with Colleen to further improve my health, and reach my evolving health goals.

Again, I’d highly recommend Siphon Draw Nutrition to anyone looking to improve not only their nutrition, but their overall quality of life.

Colleen has been in my life as a friend for almost 15 years.  She became my nutritional consultant in 2017.  It was a very low point for me.  I was obese, unhealthy, and unhappy.  I followed her advice about diet and had noticeable results.  But there was so much more than weight loss.  She incorporated a whole lifestyle change to include supplements for balance.  That really seems to be the key.  Balance.  Through my work with Colleen, I have lost weight, experienced beautiful skin for the first time in my life, and come to appreciate all the natural things available for mind, body, and spirit.

Not only is Colleen extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and the benefits of holistic treatment, but she is one of the most awesome coaches I have ever met. I put off meeting with her because of my past experiences with Doctors and Nutritionists. I wish now I had worked with her sooner. I cannot say enough positive things about her. If you are on the fence, let me tell you to just jump over! You will not regret it and you will begin a journey to a better, healthier life.
