Staying off Anti-Depressants

I will always be grateful for having met Andrea. I was introduced to her some years ago for help in coming off antidepressants which I had been taking on and off for years.

I had failed a number of times trying to come off them the conventional way and was ready to try a different approach.

I am so glad that I did!

With Andrea’s lovely herbs, teas and recommendations I have been anti-depressant free for over five years and feel more confident and happy.

Staying off Anti-Depressants
changed our lives..

Dear Andrea

This is a huge success story…..

As you may remember,my Son had experienced stomach pain every night for nearly 10 years.
The hospital prescribed Ranitidine to contain the pain. At first it seemed to help but then didn’t help at all.

We came to you. You recommended to steer clear of gluten at first. Then we decided on a stool sample. This showed yeast and low good bacteria.

His stomach pain eased almost immediately with your treatment, but every 5 days or so a painful tummy came back.
His stomach pain slowly began to move to longer and longer periods in between and has now been gone for 2 months.

We thank you so so very much for your extremely valuable advice. To have a child pain-free is completely amazing!!!

You have completely changed this family’s life.

Many kind regards,
Linda

Perimenopause

When the first signs of perimenopause arrived I knew that I should do something to help myself.
My Mum had a really rough time with her transition to menopause and ended up taking HRT which has never been on my list of acceptable treatments for many reasons.

My first port of call was always going to be Andrea, who is the gentlest, kindest and most generous of medical practitioners that I have ever come across.

Within two weeks of starting to take my herbal medicine my symptoms were reducing, fewer hot flushes and a much more even mood, after about three weeks, I considered myself to be symptom free; long may it continue. If anything changes I will of course reach out to Andrea again, but right now all is well in my world and I will keep taking my herbs.

Chronic illness a year on..

You have been so extraordinarily good with me, giving me absolutely top-notch, end-to-end, science-based advice. You have also been gently supportive and encouraging in the most warmly humanistic way imaginable. I just can’t thank you enough. The comparison with where I am today and where I was just a year ago is truly breath-taking. Thank you!

Although I shall be in touch with occasional emails, I don’t plan on making a further appointment for the foreseeable future, but it is enormously reassuring to know that you are in the neighbourhood and I can call on you for further sessions when the need arises. Thanks for everything.

Sjögren’s Syndrome

I’ve lost count of the different specialists who have tried to help me alleviate the varied symptoms of Sjögren’s Syndrome – and the accompanying pain and discomfort.
Relief from it all came only if one accepted unwelcome side effects from prescription pain killers, whose effectiveness diminished over time. Seeing Andrea has enabled me to change all that. Her methodical approach, drawing on a mix of hard science and ancient lore, has been holistic in the sense that she treated me, not my illness.

I was no longer being treated as one more Sjögren’s sufferer, but someone who also had very specific vitamin deficiencies (discovered for the first time in spite of folders of medical tests results collected over the years), and functional inabilities to derive benefit from an already healthy diet.

Andrea’s elimination diet (I discovered that too much cheese and too many sweet things were physically hurting me – and causing me light and sound intolerances), the resulting tweaks to my diet and a change of daily vitamins – all these have given me back what I lost when this first started.

The results have been so much more than I expected. Plus the process of getting to the bottom of this has been a pleasure. Andrea listens so much more than most doctors one sees, explains like an ideal teacher and operates with more grace and kindness than one could distill from a typical hospital.

I cannot recommend her highly enough. Oh, and I am now off the heavy painkillers I used to be prescribed.

Thank you, Andrea. Thank you.

    Help with ME/CFS
    Went to see Andrea for a consultation again yesterday. I suffer from ME, and since she has helped me in the past to feel improvement, after going through a rough patch with it recently I turned to her for some help. She gave me a lot of helpful advice and also set me up with some herbal medicine and different vitamin supplements, specifically for my needs and to help support my health. Well, last night I took two of the Withania capsules before bed as she suggested and used some relaxation and… Read more

    Shingles
    After suffering several outbreaks of very painful skin eruptions over a period of about 18 months which doctors could not explain but prescribed antibiotics for, I went to see Andrea. She recognised the skin problem as shingles and prescribed herbs which stopped further outbreaks. It has been almost 2 years now without any further occurrence. Andrea also helped diagnose a severe vitamin deficiency which has now been remedied. I am so lucky to know such a special, caring healer. Thank you Andrea

    Fantastic workshop
    Hi Andrea, Thank you so much for a fantastic workshop! I really enjoyed it – I’m sure we all did! I’m enjoying those wonderful bottles of syrup magic – I’ve never tasted anything more delicious – tastes of the countryside, sunshine, fresh air, of the pulse of life. You gave us lots of info, and lots to think about. Collected a few rosehips today too, on the Downs. I’d love to do more workshops – even if the subject isn’t something I’d necessarily do at home, it broadens one’s understa… Read more

    Autoimmune Diet for Rheumatoid Arthritis
    I am currently on day 6 of the Diet and it’s working! Unbelievably for me I am sticking to it, especially given my inner rebel and sceptic! I had a rocky start but then really knuckled down and have 100% stuck to it and the pains in my fingers and toes have almost totally gone! My body no longer feels like i have permanently been hit by a bus, full of aches and pains. The mornings are most significant in that normally, before the diet I had to lever myself out of bed as if I was a lump of le… Read more

    Relief From Migraines & Allergies
    I went to Andrea to help with relief of migraines and allergies. Migraines have blighted my life since I was a child but the allergies are relatively new occurrence in the past few years. I have never found anything that help the migraines which had become increasingly regular, sometimes as often as once a week, and although I was on daily high dosage anti histamine I was still getting violent reactions to all manner of things. Eleven weeks later no migraines. One allergic reaction which thanks … Read more
