Testimonial Linda V.

Dr. Pautz is well educated in addressing needs of her patients, taking time to thoroughly explore what brings the patient to Persephone without judgement. I have been a patient of Dr. Pautz for a long time and have relied on her expertise for both minor and significant situations. Fortunately my primary care supported these efforts. Dr Pautz makes frequent personal follow up calls to check on her patients, something that other physicians no longer do. Persephone Healing Arts Center is a highly valuable part of the medical community.”

 

Sophie R Testimonial

Dr. Pautz has been tremendously helpful in my health and healing journey. She is unique in that she is a medical doctor who provides sincere and genuine customized care to her patients as well as unique medical protocols and solutions I have not experienced with other medical practitioners and doctors. In addition to her medical knowledge and expertise, she has a special “doctor’s intuition” which has helped me to address and find solutions for several of my health concerns, from women’s health issues to other general health concerns. The myriad of unique medical protocols, solutions and recommendations she has provided in conjunction with the recommendations I have received from other specialized doctors (OBGYN, Gastroenterologist, etc.) has been critical to me finding the right solutions and care. On many occasions, she has reached out – having given thought or done some additional research based on labs, reports or other information / data that she has either ordered for me to do or that I have sent her as a result of working with other doctors – and shared some information and medical advice she believes would be helpful to me, or has provided an additional solution or healing modality that would assist me with my issue at hand. I trust her judgement and know that the care I receive from her is genuine, unique and rare to find. She is a one-of-a-kind doctor, and I am grateful I found her. Although I have now moved out of state, I continue my care with her through telehealth sessions and will make periodic trips to see her when I am able to make the trip.  

Testimonial Rosalinda

Dear Dr. Pautz,

My name is Rosalinda and I was a client of yours about nine years ago. I was about 15-16 years old.

I was looking back on my own healing journey today with a friend and how it all started with going to your space and being held in a safe space to spark my own inner healer. Thank you so much. I was in a very dark place and you helped give me hope and inspiration to heal from within and to use the herbs of the planet.  Thank you dearly. My life is so beautiful now and I just wanted to thank you so dearly for holding that space. It changed my life.

Many blessings to you.

Rosalinda

“Several years ago I went to an open house that was being held by Dr. Pautz. I found Dr. Pautz and her staff to be very warm and welcoming.  Everyone was very professional and the center was filled with positive energy and sense of calm. 

A year and a half ago I found myself suffering from gastric distress as well as anxiety. I was concerned about going to a physician that would simply try and prescribe drugs for my anxiety. I remembered the feelings I had about Persephone Healing Arts Center and decided to give Dr. Pautz a call. I was able to schedule an appointment within a couple of days. Before examining me she really wanted to hear my story about how I was feeling and what I thought was going on. She agreed with my thoughts that my anxiety was most likely the cause of my other issues and she respected my needs to deal with the situation without using traditional medications. We talked at length about using alternative treatments and also about supporting the treatments with food, environmental and spiritual changes. She also sent me for medical work up to make sure that there was nothing else more serious going on.

By the time I returned for a follow-up visit three weeks later, I was already feeling much better. Over the next several months we continued to meet and refine the treatments that Dr. Pautz was suggesting. It is now been about a year and a half since my journey with Dr. Pautz began and I am grateful every day for having found her and her clinic. I no longer suffer from the fear and anxiety that was causing me to be anxious, depressed and in general living a life that was unrewarding and lacking joy.  I feel like an entirely new person and I look at the world in a different way, feeling like I have gained much wisdom from my journey. There is joy and a sense of looking forward to the future that was lacking before, as well as much more satisfaction from my personal relationships. I was also able to make the progress without using anti-anxiety medications. Although I know if I had the need to use them for a while I would have had that option. I was just lucky that I did not need that level of support. I continue to make periodic visits to the center to reinforce the progress that I have made and to continue to make more progress. It is such a happy, positive, warm environment. Which I feel has been very important to me in this hectic chaotic world that we live in today.

I believe that disease is a manifestation of the many stressors in life and the way we deal with them.  As a result treatment should involve more than today’s traditional medical model.  I would highly recommend Dr. Pautz to anyone looking for a holistic physician.

Thank You Dr.  Pautz for being my physician and now my friend!”

“I came to Persephone Healing Arts Center after moving back to Jacksonville. Dr. Pautz had treated my brother before when we were teenagers. I felt comfortable with her. I had recently gone through a little crisis. I was fearful of being left alone, fearful of dying, and was suffering a lot from physical pain. I couldn’t seem to find relief no matter what I tried, including exercise, eating better, more sleep, and meditation. Dr. Pautz took the time to get to know me as a person, not just as a patient. We looked at my past, present, and hopes and goals for my future. She helped me work through my fear and anxiety as well as helped me reduce and deal with my physical pain. Dr. Pautz is the reason I am comfortable in my own body today. I left an unhappy marriage, I am near my family, I am snowboarding, doing Pilates weekly, as well as pursuing my Large Animal veterinarian degree. At 24 years old, vibrant and beautiful, Dr. Pautz helped me get my life back and start on the path to becoming the person I am meant to be.

Dr. Pautz was very easy to talk to, asked all the right questions and the atmosphere felt safe and secure. I felt like I was working on a relationship with someone who really cared about my wellbeing and wanted me to be happy and succeed in life. She drew me out of my shell a little bit just within that first visit; she had a lot of patience.

My experience with Persephone Healing Arts Center has become an on-going partnership to keep me healthy and pursuing my goals and dreams. Dr. Pautz and her staff are like my Pit Crew. I stay very busy now, pursuing my goals. Dr. Pautz and Persephone had a huge part in getting me to this point. I am better at setting boundaries with my family and friends and taking care of myself, I exercise regularly in ways that I enjoy, I have fun cooking healthy meals, I only use the organic line of facial care and make-up that the clinic carries because it does wonders for my face, hair and body. I am better in taking care of myself and others than I ever was before. Dr. Pautz helped me work through years of fear and baggage that were keeping me from my destiny and inner hidden beauty.”

“When I first walked into Dr. Pautz’s office I was short of breath due to COPD caused by a rare genetic disease.   Today I am breathing easier than I have in a long time.  I am still taking the conventional medicines originally prescribed.  However to me, the homeopathic medicines have given me the additional boost needed to improve my shortness of breath and general state of health.  I feel that the Anthroposophic Medicine has allowed me to live the way I want, doing the things I want to do, and exploring new experiences.  Thank you Dr. Pautz.”

“I came to Dr. Pautz and Persephone Healing Arts Center for alternatives to treatment for depression and anxiety. I had been on almost every antidepressant medication available over the course of my 48 years. I was concerned about the effect of medication on my body as well as the lack of effectiveness over time. What a pleasant experience to find a doctor who actually spent time getting to know me, my history, my personal challenges, my spiritual beliefs and my goals. While we decided to keep using medication for the time being, the additional remedies and therapies she has prescribed have greatly improved the quality of my life and we have a plan for eventually managing my depression without the use of prescription medication which was my goal from the beginning. I am so happy to have found Dr. Pautz and Persephone Healing Arts Center.”

“I was searching for a “holistic” doctor when Dr. Pautz at Persephone Healing Arts Center became a part of my journey. Dr. Pautz went above and beyond every expectation I had. She provides nurturing and encouragement during our counseling sessions, which is so imperative at my age. Along with the great life lessons I continue to learn, Dr. Pautz is an all-around healer and the role she plays in my life is greatly appreciated. Dr. Pautz is a Florida licensed medical doctor (M.D.), board certified in both holistic and conventional medicine and I believe her knowledge and skill set in the medical field are exceptional. Persephone is a place that I look forward to visiting and will continue to be a part of my life wherever my path may take me.”

“Jacksonville is truly blessed to have Dr. Pautz! She has helped me profoundly with my anxiety and depression. With her methods of Anthroposophical Medicine, Eurythmy (an art of movement), counseling, homeopathic remedies and nutrition classes I was able to get a handle on this.

When I originally came to her for my first visit, I was in a dark place in my life. I wore mainly black clothes and could barely hold a conversation with anybody. I knew I needed help and I needed real help. I did not want to cover up my problems with medication but truly wanted to move forward in my life. There is a beautiful presence at Persephone that my soul felt touched by and I was able to express what help I needed.

Dr. Pautz helped me be creative with life problems and taught me flexibility. With her holistic approaches she helped me overcome and outgrow my anxiety and depression. I have learned how to deal with problems immediately when they arise.

Dr. Pautz’s Eurythmy classes were life changing for me. Eurythmy helped me feel & speak more from my heart and soul. I could feel myself more in my body. I felt more comfortable in social settings. I also found myself doing more things on my own and now stand in a better relationship with the world. I developed skills for life. I am also able to deal with issues and put them into prospective more easily. Anxiety and depression rarely overcome me anymore, but I can tackle them efficiently when they do and they do not have a grip on my life anymore; I am handling THEM.

I now am wearing colored clothes and do not dye my hair dark anymore. I was even able to say a speech as the Maid of Honor at my best friend’s wedding!

Persephone Healing Arts Center is truly a healing place. My soul looks forward to every visit.”
