Exceptional Doctor — Truly One of a Kind

Dr. Pautz is an outstanding practitioner who embodies everything you could hope for in a medical professional. She is incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable, with a depth of experience that shows in every interaction. From the very first interaction, it was clear that Dr. Pautz not only understands healing but also truly understands people.
What sets Dr. Pautz apart is her caring and compassionate nature. She takes the time to listen, explain things clearly, and make sure you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Her transparency and honesty build immediate trust—you always know you’re getting straightforward, thoughtful advice tailored to your needs.
Dr. Pautz’s skill set and intuition are remarkable. She notices the small details that others might overlook, and has the ability to connect the dots often leading to faster, more accurate diagnoses and better outcomes. It’s evident that this isn’t just a job to her—it’s a calling.
I’m genuinely grateful to be under Dr. Pautz’s care. If you’re looking for a doctor who is not only skilled but also compassionate, transparent, and deeply committed to their patients, I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly.

Testimonial on Light therapy and magnetic Pulsing

I have been under Dr. Pautz’s care for over three years, following a severe episode of ME/CSF (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and fibromyalgia.

Thanks to her expertise, I was able to regain my ability to function – something for which I am deeply grateful. Although I still experience occasional fluctuation in pain and fatigue, weekly red light and magnetic therapies provided through Dr. Pautz have been instrumental  in keeping me stable. These treatments consistently help reduce my pain, fatigue, and stress. Combined with Dr. Pautz’s compassionate and attentive care, they allow me to maintain the highest level of functioning possible.

For anyone struggling with chronic fatigue or pain, I strongly recommend exploring these supportive therapies.

Dr. Pautz is a life changer!

I have recently started seeing Dr. Pautz after my daughter, an MD herself, recommended her to me because of their shared interest in integrative medicine. After my first appointment I was so happy. I finally for the first time in my life found a doctor who really cares and spends the time to listen and really know my health. It has been life changing. Every appointment she helps me more. I feel like I have embarked on a health journey through her help! I am so very thankful to have found her. She is so knowledgeable and kind and just the best doctor I’ve ever had.

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.”

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.

Dr. Pautz is mentioned in Drew Beckie’s documentary with his myocarditis journey.

Please click the link above to listen to a documentary about Drew’s myocarditis journey as a very young professional soccer player. Dr. Pautz played a crucial role in arranging a referral for Drew to a world-renowned myocarditis specialist.

Dr. Pautz is mentioned at 15:00, 22:38, 24:28, 24:55, and 26:40.

“I suffered from myocarditis after my time in Sweden. Dr. Pautz not only treated me with both holistic and conventional approaches, but she was also a major reason I was able to be seen at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Pautz for any medical needs.”

“Dr. Schaeffer-Pautz is not only an incredible medical practitioner with over 25 years of experience, but also a profoundly remarkable person. Her deep commitment to her patients, combined with her extensive knowledge of internal medicine and holistic health, sets her apart in a way that is truly rare. She listens intently, understands each patient’s unique needs and circumstances, and provides care that is both comprehensive and compassionate. At a time when personalized medical attention often feels like a thing of the past, Dr. Schaeffer-Pautz remains a beacon of hope and dedication.”

“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!”

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.

“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.”

“Dear Dr. Pautz,

Hello! How are you doing? I’m fine. I want to thank you for the treats. Happy St. Valentine’s Day. I like you a lot! I sell the newspaper once a week, on Thursdays. Good Luck!”

This patient has a paper heart cutter so Dr. Pautz is always getting lots of cut out little hearts in each mailing, of different sizes and colors.

“I have always liked the fact that you offer standard medical practices (MD) as well as natural alternative approaches to a person’s needs.”
