The practitioners of Austin Holistic Health are united in the belief that health decisions should be guided by true holism: that we are physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual beings under constant structural, chemical, and psychological stress. Optimal health is thus much more than being free of disease.
It is an ongoing journey encompassing personal exploration of each of these factors that allows the full expression of who we truly are. Our bodies and each system within should be treated as a whole. Holistic Healing addresses the mind, body and the spirit. As practitioners of Holistic Health, we are searching for the underlying causes of symptoms, rather than simply treating the issues and their characteristic expressions as they appear.

Dr. Ballard is a second generation chiropractor; he was born and raised in a small Southeast Texas town when his father was just beginning his second trimester at Texas Chiropractic College. Being a chiropractor's son, he received his first adjustment at two months old. Dr. Ballard initially practiced and studied chiropractic with his father after graduating from Texas Chiropractic College in the Fall.
My vision of holistic care and chiropractic care specifically is to, whenever possible, maximize human potential and spiritual expression using methods that work with the basic systems of the body in ways that are natural and intuitive. There are so many usefull modalities that it can be overwhelming at times.
Before becoming a Rolfer I studied Agricultural Economics and Sociology at Texas A&M. I had the honor of studying with The Guild of Structural Integration and mentoring with Norma Bell Bandy R.N. Certified Adv. Rolfer and Movement teacher. Rolfing has been a part of my life since the day I was born.
I have served the Austin area since 1987 providing pain relief, health education and nutritional support through chiropractic model. My studies have expanded into Applied Kinesiology as a very effective model. This is a passion I love sharing as I help people out of pain and find healthy choices. In this way health is maintained.

Dr. Bandy is a genius. I can't recommend him enough. My Hyperthyroidism and Eczema have gone into remission since I started seeing him and following his advice. His diet plans can be intense (and he knows if you've been cheating!) but if you listen and follow his insight, you will start to heal. I look forward to my appointments. I always learn something new!

5+ stars for Lauryn at the front desk! Every office should have a Lauryn, they'd be better for it. She is genuine & truly cares for the people that walk thru the door. Her demeanor & attitude are like sunshine & rainbows accompanied with just the right professionalism. I came here as an aide for my senior care client & she bent over backwards to get us situated. She also provided me with such great info about the place that I will return next time as a client. There are not enough stars in the sky to properly rate Lauryn as an employee & as a human being. This world could use more Lauryn's! Great

I have nothing but GREAT things to stay about the entire practice. Sylvia, at the front desk, is always welcoming and friendly. Dr Ballard and Dr Bandy are absolutely phenomenal in their treatment approaches and leave me pain free. They fix the root cause of my pain every time - their work is out of this world! Brie and Norma are truly magnificent in their abilities to heal the human body on so many levels - physically and emotionally. I highly recommend AHH to anyone, whether limited by mobility, pain, or emotional issues!! You will not regret it! And, you will leave a brand new person!

Dr. Bandy, Norma Bell Bandy and Brianna Bandy have all been instrumental on my road to healing. Several of my family members had seen Norma many many years ago and suggested I do the same to help address some pain I had been experiencing throughout my body which had been effecting my day-to-day life. My first appointment with Norma I was blown away. She has the ability to make it seem as though you've known each other for years and her Rolfing and healing effects that she continues to have on me are indescribable. She truly takes the time to get to know you on a personal level, always makes it

Dr Bandy is AMAZING. I have been a runner since 2008. In July 2018 I had an accident rollerskating where I dislocated my right ankle and broke my fibula bone. In October 2018, I started having horrible pain that started in my hands, moved to my shoulders, knees and every other joint on my body. I went to several doctors and all of them thought I had zero negative Rheumatoid arthritis. I tried several things to get rid of the inflammation... hired a nutritionist, removed the plate and screws from my right ankle and nothing worked. Dr Bandy told me the root cause of my problem in the first visit

My husband, son, and I are all patients of Doctor Bandy. Dr. Bandy has been a huge part of our health journey over the past few years. He is very knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend him. The office environment is relaxing and welcoming. If you have health issues that you are having a difficult time getting to the root of, definitely give Austin Holistic Health a try.

I have had 3 back surgeries in the past and when I was told I needed a 4th one I found Dr. Bandy! He is highly intelligent and knows his stuff! I had a thorough initial exam and was amazed over the next 6 weeks of treatments how much better I felt! I have been doing monthly follow ups for 1 1/2 years now and feel so grateful that I did not go ahead with another back surgery! I feel blessed to have found him and if you are on the fence about a second opinion for your problem please do not hesitate... he works miracles!

Dr Bandy is a wonderful healer. My husband had a deteriorating back condition which surgery did not help; he found the source and was able to arrest the decline and put him on a road to improvement. I have an autoimmune condition, which hurt my kidneys. My Kidney Doctor keep asking me what I'm doing, and says keep doing it. With Dr Bandy's guidance I've improved from End stage to stage 3 kidney disease. I would recommend him to help you.
