Meet the practitioner
Hello, I'm Sarah! I founded Enjoy Natural Health Care as I was learning about how to support my daughter with disability. We experienced how powerful therapeutic nutrition and herbs were for her, affecting better outcomes than many of her peers. I realized how valuable these resources were and wanted others to benefit, as well.
​
As a registered nurse with a bachelor's degree in nursing from Purdue University, I've worked in medical/surgical care, oncology, OB/GYN, and primary care. I'm professionally trained as a Nutrition Response Testing® practitioner and Heart Sound Recorder practitioner, and have many years' experience utilizing herbal supplements. My mission is to use therapeutic nutrition and herbs to empower others to thrive!

What is Nutrition Response Testing®?
Nutrition Response Testing®(NRT) is a non-invasive system of testing the neurological responses of all organ systems of the body to find and address nutritional needs and causes of symptoms.
Learn about our Specialized Tests
What are we testing?
Your nervous system carries signals via nerves between the brain and all parts and organs of the body. NRT tests your body’s neurological responses from any area in the entire body which you would like to have tested. NRT is painless and easy for anyone, even children!
How is NRT unique?
NRT discovers your body's individual needs from your nerve responses. It pinpoints the stressors, finds the solutions, and indicates the amount of any supplement you need. This prevents using treatments or supplements which are toxic or do not benefit you.
How does it work?
Your nervous system prioritizes the body's needs and addresses them in order. If any tested area on the body is affected by a stressor, the nerves will respond when tested, similar to the nerve response you see when your knee is tapped lightly. We use these nerve responses to guide your plan. You will understand how your plan will help you thrive!

What is the Heart Sound Recorder?
The Heart Sound Recorder(HSR) is a computer-based wellness monitor that uses a sensor to observe and record heart sounds. The heart’s responses to certain stressors and nutritional deficiencies can be observed using this device. The sound patterns indicate which nutrients are needed to improve cardiovascular health.
Why use HSR?
The HSR graphs each of the four valves of the heart and gives vital information about the nutritional efficiency of the heart muscle. HSR measures ventricle efficiency and force of heartbeats. Other heart evaluations don't provide direction for you to know which specific nutrients your heart needs in order to improve. We match HSR patterns with therapeutic nutritional supplements that have been designed specifically to support those patterns.
​
We have seen an over 95% improvement rate in our clients' HSR graphs! Many clients can notice their own improvements when we compare their first graph to their second one!
What does HSR test?
Certain types of heart stress can be monitored by seeing the RATE, RHYTHM, and TONE of the heart cycle on the graph.
Your nervous system controls the RATE at which your heart beats. One part of your nervous system (sympathetic) manages your “fight or flight” response and can accelerate your heart rate. The other part (parasympathetic) manages your “rest and digest” response and can slow your heart rate. You need a healthy balance between the two.
​
The RHYTHM of your heart should show a specific work-to-rest ratio on the graph. Your heart should be resting twice as long as it is working. Observations are made to see if your heart is working too hard or needs support to work more efficiently.
​
The TONE of your heart refers to the strength of the ventricles as they push blood through your body. The height and the width of the ‘lub dub’ sound your heart makes on the graph show how efficiently your heart is pushing blood through your body and refilling to prepare for the next cardiac cycle.
