Read what some of Coco Newton's clients and colleagues have to say.


     For six years I suffered from severe GERD symptoms. During this time I was under the care of top GI specialists who tried to manage my case with large doses of many acid suppressing medications. Two surgeries had been performed to improve the function of my lower esophageal sphincter.

     In spite of all the conscientious, conventional treatment I had received, my symptoms persisted, I was fatigued, frustrated and felt helpless. A dear friend and former colleague recommended that I call Coco Newton for another approach to solving my problem. In less than a year, under Coco's care, I am significantly stronger, have more energy, and am almost symptom-free. I have been able to discontinue all of my prescription drugs. Coco has been a blessing, and I highly recommend her!

     I cannot sing the praises of Coco enough. I’ve visited numerous physicians and naturopaths in the last 13 years but none have helped as much as she. By simply believing that my debilitating symptoms were not random, and concentrating on a detoxification and allergy diet along with supplements, Coco helped me regain my health and sanity. Not a traditional dietitian that works in the vacuum of a conventional model, Coco uses an expanded approach in integrative medicine that truly deals with underlying causes, and has a style of practice that is all her own. I am so very lucky to have stumbled upon her.

     When I first met Coco little did I know that she would change my life dramatically. I came to Coco with a multitude of physical and emotional problems. From the beginning, her time commitment, support and enthusiasm were far superior to any health care provider I had encountered. Her knowledge of diagnostic and testing procedures, supplements and other remedies is amazingly comprehensive. She is a wonderful listener and has always been tireless and very committed in her efforts to improve my life. She is an active member of the holistic community and as such has introduced me to a host of professionals in related fields who have provided me with excellent care. Coco has revolutionized my lifestyle and greatly improved both my physical and spiritual health. I always leave her feeling much better than when I arrived!
