“Dr. Balaguera was prepared, but I was not. I was prepared to discuss my medical concerns. What I hadn’t expected were the personal questions he asked aimed at identifying trauma. I was definitely taken off guard and felt myself getting defensive, because I wasn’t making the connection between what had happened to me and my getting so sick. All said, now I better understand why he was asking. And my sense is that trauma is part of many of our stories, and to heal includes healing trauma as well.”t
- Carol, Patient at Katallage Wellness
“For nearly four hours (yes, FOUR!), this brilliant doctor dove deep, asking about everything—my medical history, trauma history, spiritual background, and past and current relationships. He wasn’t just looking at symptoms; he was connecting dots, unveiling patterns, and crafting a plan tailored to MY body.”
- Christine, Patient at Katallage Wellness
