SUCCESS STORIES
My consultations with Christine have been incredibly thorough. It was wonderful to have someone really listen to all my complaints and actually care about how I was feeling. Better still Christine always explains everything in detail, so you always know what you're taking and why. With her practical & easy to follow diet and lifestyle suggestions, herbal formula and nutritional supplements I have now completely over all my menopausal flushing, anxiety and panic attacks.

Chris combines a rare depth of knowledge of nutrition, herbal medicine and appropriate supplementation with a wealth of understanding of women's lives, an array of practical and enabling suggestions that inspire better and better nutrition, and, most importantly, real wisdom. I feel very fortunate to have benefited from Chris' care and intelligence. There has never been an appointment with Chris from which I have not emerged feeling inspired and energised. My health stayed strong during a challenging phase of my life, and now goes from strength to strength so that I feel more vital and fabulous now than ever. I can't recommend Chris highly enough. She is an imaginative, intuitive and experienced naturopath who thinks deeply about every aspect of the person and her treatment. Chris has also given me brilliant suggestions about my children, 'better babies’ who go from strength to strength.

A very good friend referred me to Chris shortly after I had given birth to my son. I was depleted after a botched Caesarian and my son was diagnosed with a PDA (Patent Ductus Arteriosus) which required a longer than usual stay in hospital. I was 42 years old, hormonal, sleep deprived and very anxious. Conventional or prescription medication was never an option for me so I was able to easily embrace the homeopathic and naturopathic healing provided by Chris. I sought Chris’s help again when my son continuously suffered from colds, coughs and chest infections which many courses of antibiotics did not seem to help. Chris provided him with natural herbs and remedies that have kept him well and antibiotic free for the last couple of years. She is a Godsend and continues to support my family of five.
