Claire Maikowski
A.R.T. Practitioner
Claire’s daughter, Sloane, began A.R.T. treatment when she was 3 years old with severe allergies to dairy, egg, sesame and tree nuts, as well as asthma. After graduating, she now eats all of those foods freely, and her asthma is essentially nonexistent.
Julie Shalom
A.R.T. Practitioner
Julie Shalom is a pharmacist turned holistic practitioner whose work is rooted in both science and lived experience.
When her daughter was diagnosed with severe, anaphylactic food allergies, she began a relentless search for answers beyond conventional approaches. That journey led her to A.R.T. Allergy Release Technique—a discovery that would change everything.
After three years in the program, her daughter is now free from her allergies and able to eat without fear.
Today, Julie is passionate about helping other families experience that same transformation.

Success Stories
" In order to keep my lupus in remission, I need to be on a raw vegan diet. I started A.R.T. to treat OAS, Oral Allergy Syndrome, a unique condition I had developed that prevented me from being able to eat raw fruits & vegetables. I'm ecstatic to share that in just over a year, I’ve resolved most of my food allergies and am back to being able to comply with my raw plant-based diet. My bloodwork has never looked better!"

A.R.T. Soon-to-be graduate!
