"I Have Been Medication Free..."

Terri - Augusta, Georgia, 2017

I visited Dr. Pendergrast in 2012 for help with rheumatoid arthritis. Because of the help he offered me, I have been medication free for over three years (2017), and feel fabulous. For those who wish to take their health back through natural means, these are the people to contact. My only regret was not going sooner!

"He Addressed All of my Concerns..."

Sara - Aiken, South Carolina, May 2017

As a young mother of 3 being diagnosed left me scared. Dr. Pendergrast helped design a plan I was comfortable with. He addressed all of my concerns and remains a vital part of my healing. Thank you Dr. Pendergrast and all the staff at Aiken Augusta Holistic Health.

""Gail is Absolutely Amazing..."

Debbie - Martinez, Georgia, December 2016

Several years ago, I had a diagnosis from an ophthalmologist that motivated me to improve my overall health in order to (I hoped) stave off slowly going blind (a “death” sentence for a photographer, graphic designer, researcher, and historian). Regular medicine offered the usual advice: lose weight. Nothing about how, or how that would improve my health. So, I saw the Pendergrast’s “Eight Healthy Steps” class advertised and signed up for it. Within six months, I’d lost 30 pounds without even trying, and now, six or seven years later, there’s been absolutely no deterioration in my condition. I credit what I learned from Gail and Robert with that success.
I’ve also worked with Gail as a life coach, and she’s absolutely amazing at that, and my husband and I both took Robert’s qi gong course. My husband in particular has found what he learned incredibly helpful in dealing with the stresses of being a university bureaucrat. Gail and Robert and the others in their holistic practice are simply amazing, both in terms of their professionalism, professional services, and as human beings. I can’t recommend them and their practice highly enough!

"You Were Such a Godsend For Us..."

Parent of a Teen Patient - 2015

Dr. Pendergrast, you were such a Godsend for us – I feel our daughter is ever so much better off without all the chemicals running through her and shes much happier taking things she feels her body really needs. It’s allowed her to be much more involved in what goes into her body.

"For several months ...

Terri E.

I had been struggling with very tight hip and shoulder muscles. It was affecting my sleep and daily activities, so I needed to learn better ways of helping my body to relax. Wow, what a difference Rossiter made! My body is so much more relaxed and fluid now, even after a long car ride! If you have difficulties with tight muscles/joints, Joseph offers a very affordable, professional service that is truly a blessing. Give him a call!"

...learning about it through AAHH. Sciatic nerve pain in my hip and leg had become increasingly intense over a period of months, especially when driving. After one short session, the pain was gone and has not returned, over a year later. I'm grateful for Joseph's skills and clear communication." Ruth P

"My First Session was Most Helpful..."

Clinical Hypnosis Patients

I first went to see Dr. Pendergrast after a traumatic stay in the hospital where several different teams of doctors tried to increase my circulation so that I would not have a toe amputated… because of the onset of a Raynaud’s (Scleroderma) extreme reaction. The hospital was concerned that with such compromised circulation … that performing an amputation on a toe or toes could possibly lead to losing the foot. I was sent home with many medications including Warfarin in an attempt to get more circulation to the right foot. After a month, the situation had not worsened, but neither had it improved. I was referred to Dr. Pendergrast and his method of hypnotherapy to increase blood circulation. My first session was most helpful in lowering my anxiety level but I was absolutely amazed that evening when I was applying medication to my toes that I could actually see an improvement. I had not been thinking of or expecting any results from an introductory visit. I had not even had the time to do a practice session at home as it was an afternoon appointment and this was early evening. I was tremendously heartened and practiced each day with my self hypnosis CD from Dr. Pendergrast and returned for two more visits, noting continuing improvement over the next weeks. The visiting nurse and the original attending doctor were amazed at the progress we had been unable to make before the hypnotherapy began. 

I noted that along with the increased circulation, my (hypnotherapy) sessions … seemed to lessen my extreme anxiousness and my darker thoughts.

I see so much improvement since I began with Dr. Pendergrast. I have been able to taper down and off some of the medications and am hoping to remove two more so that I will be working with the minimum medication that is absolutely necessary. I have recovered my spirit, which I thought was barely a small spark on the verge of flickering out, and each day I feel stronger, calmer and in charge of helping my body to heal.
