Testimonials

“I have stopped taking my  antidepressants as I no longer need them!  I am eating more than I used to and I’m losing weight because I’m eating healthily, I have lost 11.5lbs!”

After feeling lost and not sure what direction to take in life I made the decision to book 6 sessions with Sarah and it is honestly the best thing I could have done . I was able to get things off my chest , Sarah listened intentively and made me feel relaxed in an environment were I could express my feelings. We worked on my self esteem using meditation and wow ! this took me to some amazing places !! I felt like a broken mess at the beginning of my sessions but finished them feeling lighter and brighter looking forward to a brighter future and for this I am very grateful”

"I cannot recommend Sarah’s 6 week course enough. On a practical level, I feel like I have tools for life, on an emotional level I feel excited and more positive for the future and on a mental level I have learned so much! I have come away feeling emotionally and mentally stronger and celebratory! Our bodies are amazing, we just need to know how to nourish them. Sarah teaches you this in a loving, accepting and non-judgemental way."

The symptoms of perimenopause, had gradually crept up on me; forgetfulness, ‘brain fog’, difficulty sleeping and generally feeling a bit low and out of sorts, but as I was waiting for changes in my menstrual cycle to trigger the start of menopause, I simply brushed them off.

Then following a big change in my career, I started to struggle. I didn’t think I was picking things up quickly enough, started questioning my ability and whether I was good enough for my new job, and this spiralled into anxiety and a big dip in self-confidence. I felt like I was losing my positive and happy self and was scared of the woman I was turning into! Following what I can only describe as a distressing visit to the GP, who with one eye on her PC and the other on the clock, helpfully advised me to Google to determine the best option for me – either HRT or anti-depressants – and then let her know, I turned to Sarah for advice.

When we started talking, all the bottled up emotions and worries came out like a tsunami! Sarah listened, empathised, passed me tissues and managed to convince me I wasn’t going mad! She explained the biology behind my symptoms, to assure me what I was feeling was caused by a physical chemical imbalance and it wasn’t ‘all in my head’. I can’t explain the relief I felt.

Sarah didn’t write off HRT as a possible solution and she explained the pros and cons, but most importantly we discussed what other options I had. For the past eight months at Sarah’s recommendation, I’ve been taking 100% natural remedies and I feel like a new woman – actually that’s wrong, I feel like myself again!!

I’ve regained control of all aspects of my life and Sarah plays an essential part in my well-being. We check in regularly to make sure my treatment continues to be effective. If I need to go on HRT further down the line, I’ll be able to make that decision in an informed way, but in the meantime I’m happy relying on the natural remedies that Sarah has recommended and the support she is giving me.”

"I am so, so happy that I found Sarah! She has changed my life. Sarah helped me with my well being. I lead a very busy, hectic and stressful lifestyle as I run my own company and did not realise the pressures it was putting on my body. I now feel more cool, calm and collected and don’t snap at the smallest things. She tailored my treatments to treat anxiety, stress etc. Alongside this I began doing breathe and relax yoga as well as listening to a script made by Sarah and followed her advice on separating my work life from home life. It became the best habit. I would get in get unchanged, do yoga and listen to the script then I would relax in my home life. I now go to the gym 3 times a week and do cardio on 3 other days and one rest day. I can safely say I do not suffer with any pain, headaches and have not needed any form of medication since that third session. I was so close to the edge when I met Sarah and now I feel like a whole new person. Sarah is amazing and so friendly and I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you for giving me my life back!"

"I feel Sarah has played an important part in helping me to make some positive changes to improve my health and well-being and getting me back to feeling my best. I would highly recommend Sarah and the treatments she can provide. Sarah has created a warm, relaxing and tranquil environment to run her business. During the initial consultation, she takes time to understand and gives you the opportunity to discuss any life challenges that may have an effect on your well-being. This helped to instil trust and made me feel very comfortable talking through several health and emotional concerns, and Sarah has given me some helpful and beneficial advice, as well as an effective, personalised treatment plan"
