If you have been diagnosed or suspect you may have this medical condition, you should consult your GP for advice, diagnosis and treatment and always inform your health professional before starting any alternative or additional therapies, treatments or making any major changes in your diet or exercise programme.
Fees
An initial consultation is free of charge to understand the needs of the client and help explain what is possible.
Symptoms of ill health and imbalance can be the result of many months or even years of nutritional deficiency and lifestyle choice, and can rarely be solved in an instant. Packages are therefore personalised to individual needs, and can range from a handful of sessions to a longer course over a number of weeks or months if required.
Corporate talks and seminars are also offered.
