Before meeting Ginger, I had been trying on and off again to lose the 20 plus pounds I had put on in less than a year. I had tried intermittent fasting, low-carb diet and exercise. However, I was having a hard time being consistent with anything and very down on myself. I would just get more frustrated when I didn’t see the scale budge.
I visited with my Doctor’s office and they recommended meeting with Ginger. Originally I thought I was going in for a consultation about nutrition and I’d meet with her maybe once or twice. It turned out to be so much more.
I first met with Ginger a little over a year ago. Right off, I knew she was a good match for me. Her gentle approach and listening were exactly what I needed. I had not realized how the amount of stress I had been under had been affecting my health and in turn the weight I was trying to take off. She started off slowly with me which was perfect. I got back into enjoying walks with my dogs and friends. I was not willing to get on the scale those first few visits and she was totally okay with that.
Ginger continually gives me tips and tricks that help. A great example was getting sunlight first thing in the morning and realizing the importance of good sleep. All of these things really have helped improve my mood. I started to make small changes to my diet too.
As a result of a series of childhood traumas, and as a young adult, I have found myself toting around unwanted baggage that has had severe repercussions on the way I live every single day.
As a result of a series of childhood traumas, and as a young adult, I have found myself toting around unwanted baggage that has had severe repercussions on the way I live every single day. Consequently, I have spent precious time, money, and energy drifting around from counselor to counselor trying to find a measure of desperately needed rest.
Just as I was on the verge of accepting my lot in life, I was referred to Ginger Stanfield by a family friend. I can confidently say that Ginger is the only counselor that has had any type of positive impact on me. Not only has she improved my mental and physical health; she has improved my relationship with the Lord. Through her standard strategy of addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual health, Ginger leaves nothing to chance.
Many health professionals only focus on one of these facets of health without realizing all three are interconnected. Thus, patients still find themselves struggling. Patients who find themselves in Ginger’s care will find release from this struggle and find real results.
For the first time in a long time, I am seeing improvements in all areas of my life. I am at rest, and am finally becoming the man I want to be. Please do not pass on Ginger. You will not regret making her your health care professional, and will finally find the one thing people crave above all else in this fast-paced and hectic world–peace. –Paul B.
I came to Ginger about 6 weeks postpartum with PPD and anxiety. I had tried praying, a holistic Passion flower extract, progesterone, and coming to Ginger was my last chance to get help without having to take an antidepressant. I was hoping for some relief from these really scary thoughts and feelings that seemed relentless and to not spiral when I had them.
My first time seeing her, she was able to diffuse the power of some of these thoughts by explaining how they come about and giving me some practical ways to force my body into a relaxed state. It was so refreshing to be able to be open about my thoughts and feelings with someone who understands the way the body functions so well that she didn’t think I was crazy and her first resort was not medication.
She was diligent in finding me a plethora of resources and has gone above and beyond to not only help me get through the depression and anxiety, but also to help me grow in my relationship with Jesus, restore my marriage, and improve my communication skills.
She is also helping me to become physically healthier by helping me restore my gut health with diet and supplements, and exercise. I felt hopeless and consumed by fear that nothing would be able to help me, but I’m so glad I pushed through and tried one more thing- Whole Story Wellness. I am beyond thankful for Ginger and her giant heart and I would recommend anyone that feels like hope is lost to push through the fear that nothing will work for you and try Whole Story Wellness. –Caitlin B.
I’m an educator and very used to approaching teaching and learning with the “Whole” child in mind. When I was recommended to Ginger and her business, “Whole Story Wellness”, I immediately felt like this could be the place for me. I have tried many things in my journey to wellness from Atkins to Optivia. All programs worked. No program lasted. Through Ginger, I am finally addressing the parts of my life that need healing so that I am able to make permanent changes. I am growing spiritually and healing both mentally and physically. I have more to do and know that I am well on my way to being well. –Alice S.
I came to Ginger February 2023 to get help with depression and unresolved past trauma. I was really just “stuck”in life. I felt like my whole life was a hamster wheel just making the same mistakes over and over. No matter how hard I tried and how many people I counseled with the results were the same.

I felt like my whole life was a hamster wheel just making the same mistakes over and over. No matter how hard I tried and how many people I counseled with the results were the same.
Ginger helped me to see things differently and to heal from the inside out. She also involved my husband who wanted to better understand my trauma issues and better our marriage.
Then my daughter, while being 2 months postpartum, had some very concerning health issues. Working with Ginger brought unresolved past issues to our attention and we were able to deal with them and resolve the health issues.
I also recommended Ginger to a young woman who was living in a safe house. She had a hard time trusting anyone, but Ginger made her feel comfortable and understood. She helped her get to the root of her problems and find hope.
After all the individual coaching, Ginger is now coaching our family together and guiding us through a support plan to help us to grow and heal as a family. She has helped us make plans and keeps us accountable to get off the hamster wheel and get unstuck. She helps us determine relationships that need to stay and relationships that need to go. Ginger is really teaching us how to transform our thoughts. She is teaching us how not to transfer them to another generation like they had been in the past.
One of the things we all love about Ginger is that she does not only deal with the problem and the mental aspect of the person. As in her name, Whole Story Wellness, she helps you look at the whole person– mind, body, and spirit.
I could say so much more about her compassion for individuals and families but restoration is the word that I think of. She is about restoring the individual and families with amazing tools and techniques. –Angie A.
