The Holistic Weight Loss Journey proved to be a weekly oasis of ‘me’ time that focused on how much stronger and calmer I can become through a variety of healthier choices.

I really enjoyed your gentle guidance and endless support. Small meaningful steps towards a better me. I was so stressed out and deeply depressed when we started this project. I was hoping to get my health and happiness under control. I know that that will be a lifelong balance. But I am happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel…will I ever reach the end of the tunnel…who knows and more importantly I am not concerned about reaching the end….I am simply overjoyed to see it exist.
While I haven’t “mastered” my leptin yet….I am working every day to master it…As you know , I have lost 20 pounds and hope to lose at least 20 more. I feel more like my old self and more in control . Another HUGE change for me was giving up soda. I tried for a few months before I was able to completely cut soda out. I was most proud of this change. I was able to do it. I had always reasoned that soda wasn’t drugs or alcohol and even though I knew it was unhealthy it was ok right? I was finally able to conquer it. and tell myself it is destroying my health and although not as scandaless as drugs and alcohol it was just as destructive.
I feel so alive now (I do have set backs and have hard times) but compared to where I was …I am getting back to the me I know and love. I was desperately looking to escape far far away to heal…thankfully I was able to escape in your project and begin healing me.
Saying No to people and saying yes to me.
I love you! Thank you for you!

Imagine a woman who was feeling very disappointed in herself. Too tired, too heavy, and too disillusioned. All this on the heels of years of research and effort towards healthier lifestyle. I was struggling to recover from a knee surgery. I was struggling to curb continued weight gain. Finally, I was struggling with poor attitude toward everyday life and the prospects for my future.
On the physical side, I would be absolutely remiss not to mention some of the greatest gifts that this journey has bestowed upon me. I will never again go without castor oil packs and foot baths. I will continue to exercise and honor my body even if I don’t lose 10 lbs. per minute. However, for me, the greatest physical gift and the keys to the freedom was understanding the workings of my digestive tract. Also I now embrace the times when I am tired. I am not weak, sick or lazy. I just need a nap.
Finally, this journey would not be complete without my profound gratitude to you. I will never again look at a dandelion as a weed! I will always laugh out loud when I think of ice cold sheet. People will always wonder why I am putting cayenne pepper in my tea. All this I owe to you. I love your laughter, your empathy and your spirit. I will continue to practice your teachings and I hope that you will continue to share your knowledge with me. You are a gift that God placed directly in my path.

When I started with Anat’s group, I was suffering from food cravings, which plagued me emotionally and physically. I was reaching for carbohydrate-type foods to cope with life. The aftermath was digestive and sleep issues. I had tried different types of food plans and styles of eating – vegetarian, vegan, raw vegan, high-carb/low fat, low carb/low fat. I was not able to maintain these styles for long.
About a month after Anat’s group started, I started to settle down and got into a rhythm of eating three meals per day and soon discovered what foods were calming for my body and mind. I found support in the group and started searching accountability groups online. Six months later I have stopped turning to food for comfort. My digestion and sleep issues have been resolved. I have peace in the way I eat.
Thank you so much, Anat. Your Group was truly a God-send!

Anat Shlagman is a Traditional Naturopath and founder of Traditionally Empowered Healing LLC (Trad Em). With a practice established in 2012, Anat developed a unique session to relax the autonomic nervous system, creating the right environment for the body to heal itself. Her work dives deep into the root causes of physical, emotional, and mental conditions.
Her unique session, Trad Em®, is combined of Castor oil packs on abdomen and chest, Reflexology, Lymphatic massage on areas covered with castor oil and embedded in Trance Mediumship Healing Energy and is designed to bring the autonomic nervous system to its parasympathetic state (peace response). Following her belief that, when body reaches this very deep state of relaxation it can start healing itself, this session shows great benefits to those who suffer from digestive issues, depression, anxiety, any type of feet pain/issues, joints issues, autoimmune issues and any other condition that cannot be resolved by the medical establishment.
When realizing that castor oil packs have an amazing impact when applied on the abdomen and complimented with herbal infused oils, Anat has developed a longer session (Special Condition Session), successfully targeting more conditions, as frozen shoulder, arthritis, depression, autoimmune, digestive, soft tissue injuries, pain, sciatic issues, nerve injuries and more. While each case is individual and each person responds to the session differently, improvements have shown with many patients after the first session.
Anat’s sessions delve deep into the root cause of any condition – may it be physical, emotional or mental. A profound change is being manifested through the session and is clearly felt by the person on the table. This change generates the beginning of whole healing.
In 2023, Anat started implementing in her sessions Trance Mediumship Healing, as she is continuously learning from Chris Ratter, Psychic Surgeon. This type of Energy Healing created a very unique combination of Energy guided touch which tremendously enhanced her sessions.
Born in Romania, Anat’s family has moved to Israel when she was 5. In 1990 Anat graduated high school and joined the Israeli mandatory military service for 2 year. She has achieved her BA in Health Services Management in 1997 and her MBA in Business Management in 2002, both from Ben Gurion University in Beer Sheva Israel. Moving to Michigan in 2004, Anat quit her 6-year job as a project manager in Ramat-Gan municipality, overseeing the computers’ hardware and software in the municipality public schools, becoming a full-time mom and wife. In 2005, Anat has become a Reiki master and a holistic practitioner, employing energy healing among her family and friends. In 2014 she graduated as a Traditional Naturopath from the Naturopathic School of the Healing Arts in Ann Arbor, completing a 3-year Diploma Program.
Adopting the Traditional Naturopathy approach, Anat and her family went through many lifestyle changes seeking a healthier way of living. This included eating real foods rather than processed, utilizing ways to relax mind and body, introducing herbs as food and medicine and much more. These changes brought Anat’s family to a whole new level of health, including weight loss, increased energy levels and clarity of the mind. Experiencing these amazing shifts, Anat became passionate in helping families and individuals go through changes, which sometimes regarded impossible, to support higher levels of health.
In 2014, Anat conducted a 6-month research, with a group of 7 women, showing that improving digestive issues will improve many other conditions in the body, as skin conditions, depression, aches and more. These women have gone through a major transformation. While stabilizing their eating habits, these women’s digestion system has improved, and many other changes occurred – Inflammation decreased, weight lost, relaxation occurred, cravings lessened, aches disappeared, and many more.
In 2016, Anat took Lindera – Herbalist Jim Mcdonald’s Herbal intensive – enriching her understanding of herbs, and their assistance with healing our body.
In 2017, Anat accomplished 800 hours of massage and advanced medical massage training at Flint School of Therapeutic massage, achieving her license to touch.
Since then, Anat kept developing her sessions, and in 2023 she started learning with Chris Ratter, Psychic Surgeon , deepening her understanding of Spirit Energy healing.
As a mother of three, Anat realized that in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle it is more productive being Relaxed rather than being Perfect. Therefore, she designed her sessions, her workshops and her herbal remedies to fit each person’s individual situation, working to Encourage minor (almost invisible) changes in one’s life, which have been showing an amazing long-lasting healing effect with many.
