Moving Beyond
Course and Retreat Testimonials
I really want to thank you! I now have a freedom that I never thought I would experience. All the tension and negativity I had towards my extended family is all gone. I am free! There are no words for the freedom you have walked me through. Years of therapy to help me with my issues with my extended family and in just a few weeks of taking your course, you have given me a freedom I never thought possible. It really is the most amazing feeling on the planet. But it’s not just this situation. I feel more free today than I ever have on a day to day basis. I feel hope that I really can kick mental illness in the ass. I just need to say THANK YOU! With much LOVE

This retreat was so worth the weekend I took off to attend. It takes time and support to integrate these teachings into real life and Dr. Chris was there for me all along the way. I feel like a new person.

The Moving Beyond course provided practical resources and tools that you can implement immediately. Dr. Chris really understands mental struggles and combines a deep sense on empathy with a vast scientific knowledge to empower you to take action on moving beyond your current mindset and limitations to experience true freedom. From day one, I felt a real sense of hope that I could follow her program and see great improvement. Even months later, the tools I’ve implemented have helped me thrive.

Taking this course gave the the guided direction to work on the difficult things I knew I needed to work on. Taking the time out of my schedule and spend time on myself and my goals was so freeing and important to do. This was the perfect length, pace, and amount of support I needed to start solving deep-seated issues in my life. Thank you!

Amazing course you have put together! I am so blessed to have found it. I have walked this integrative healing journey of my soul, spirit and body for many years. I studied psychology and the brain for 20+ years because of my painful past and intuitively knowing traditional western medicine was not working. I am learning the science behind many things I “knew” in my spirit to do as I walked my journey, so thank you! I am grateful to be able to go through this certification and use what I learn to help the people God has put me here for!

I went to Dr. Bjorndal 10 years ago because there was no place on my body that didn’t hurt. My doctor said I had Fibromyalgia and suggested a treatment of anti inflammatory drugs. Being that I wanted to be healthy I chose to seek the advice of a naturopathic doctor. Dr. Bjorndal listened to my story of life and has helped me not only to nearly eliminate the pain my body was holding as well she has enlightened me to my total body’s wellness. Thru such tools as: morning Pages, mis-matched socks, supplements, detoxification programs and never letting me forget I have the power within to change any or all things that were causing my dis-ease…..With her guidance I am looking forward to getting older and finding more freedom from the complaints that I develop when my body, mind and soul are not in agreement…Thank you very much for your wisdom.

Dear Dr Bjorndal – I would like first to thank you for all your help. It is always with gratitude that I think of you. You helped me realize that I needed to do much more psychological or personal work than I had realized. You helped me understand that. The good news is that I did and I achieved great results. I am doing so much better I am surprised at myself.

Dr. Chris, I can’t thank you enough for all your help this past year. You have helped me overcome so many personal challenges and shown me it is possible to live the life I want and be happy and whole whole while doing it. Thank you for sharing your story and letting me know we’re never as alone as we sometimes feel. You are an amazing person and I’m so grateful for all you do!!!!
-MC
You were the first person to show me kindness. You gave me a job when I had no money, listened to me without judging, and treated me with respect and compassion, which was something I had never felt. You told me things I needed to hear and nudged me forward in a very gentle way. You showed me love and gave me safety. It takes a very special kind of person to do what you do and I really admire you. Seriously, you are my hero!! I think the lesson was more about kindness than figuring out my health problems, and you were more than successful.
-BT

I have been seeing Dr. Chris now for 3 years now and she has truly changed my life. I have a lot of issues including mental illness and she has been my one true hope through my journey. She speaks the truth and directly from her heart. Everything that she says to me, hits home and speaks directly to my heart. She has helped me in more ways than I could ever count and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anymore.

Your material is awesome and you’re a great presenter. THANK YOU!! As an ND, I always learn something each week – new and refreshing information. Love the physiology charts and pathways with cofactors. I especially enjoy your analogies because these are always helpful to share with patients to help them understand their current challenges in everyday language. Your content and knowledge level in this area is all encompassing and well laid out/researched and will help a ton of people out there. You’re a champion!!! THANK YOU!

The course is a unique learning experience. Not only will you learn relevant, practical and tangible clinical information to utilize with patients right away, you will also learn the importance of ‘physician, heal thyself,’ which can often be missing in other professional educational courses, allowing you to put into practice what you’re learning.

Dr. Chris draws upon her own personal and professional experiences in the area of mental health in an engaging and dynamic way, sharing personal and clinical examples, concepts, techniques, and tools learned from various sources providing a foundation for acquiring knowledge and skills for an effective and integrated approach in serving others. The small group setting was intimate, supportive and relaxed, with invitation to share, discuss or just listen. I enjoyed my experience and I’m sure you will enjoy it as well.
