“Teresa has a holistic approach to her work; I came to see Teresa as I am a vegan and was concerned I was not getting all the vitamins and minerals from my current diet, I felt lethargic and was putting on weight, I was also having panic attacks at the time and just felt lost in my health, with no clear plan or goals to adhere to,

Teresa came into my life at just the right time. I have lost a stone and half since following the lifestyle plan we worked on together and everyone is commenting on how healthy I am looking these days. I am drinking more water and increasing the amount of healthier options into my diet that I actually enjoy. Teresa gave me lots of recipes and educated me on healthy protein sources and fruits and vegetables that have lower sugar levels. I have now introduced exercise to my life which has helped massively in improving my mood and my panic attacks have reduced significantly.

Thanks to Teresa I have the tools I need to confidently live a happy, healthy vegan lifestyle and my mental health has improved greatly, who knew diet played such a big role in who we become and how we feel. I would strongly recommend anyone to see Teresa if you are feeling lost in the diet world and need a bit of guidance and motivation.

Thank you Teresa in helping me find myself again, it has been a journey and I am thankful for all the support and advice you have given me.”

“Working with Teresa has resulted in me feeling so much better than I did 6 months ago! I’m more focused, feel much more in control of my weight and my general health.
I originally saw Teresa for weight-loss and skin issues.The weight had crept up on me over a period of time and it was affecting my confidence and overall well-being.

Teresa was personable and really easy to talk to. My initial consultation was extremely comprehensive which I wasn’t expecting.Through our discussion, I realised certain areas of my life were directly impacting my gain in weight, that I had not previously considered, but which now made perfect sense. Having this clarity helped me to refocus and move forward.
Teresa provided really helpful recommendations regarding dietary improvements that I could make.These were realistic and fitted in with my lifestyle.Teresa supported me in making healthy food choices and also educated me, which led to a better awareness and a reduction in making poorer food choices.

I am making great progress and would highly recommend Teresa! This is a much more sustainable way of approaching weight loss and better health. I started with an initial consultation as nutritional therapy was new to me and I didn’t know what to expect. I quickly felt reassured and subsequently committed to one of Teresa’s packages, as I felt I would benefit from her support over a longer period of time. Personally, I found this worked better for me due to juggling a busy, family life with work.”

“Having known Teresa for over 20 years I had no hesitation in using her services as a naturopathic nutritionist.
The initial consultation was an in-depth look at both my physical health and mental health. Teresa was extremely professional and at the same time easy to talk to. After the thorough consultation she summarised the main aims and we agreed what we would be working on during the following few months. Notice I used the pronoun‘we’- at all stages of the process I have felt supported and encouraged by Teresa. Stickability is an issue for many, whether that be with the aim of losing weight, eating healthily, reducing stress. Being able to discuss things with Teresa or email made it that much easier to keep going, even when I’d regressed hugely at Christmas time!
After 3 months of adhering to the personal plan that Teresa wrote for me I have stopped taking blood pressure medication, lost an inch from my waist and hips, and have increased levels of energy.

I would highly recommend Teresa as a healthy life adviser, this is a lifestyle change that most would benefit from.”

“I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) at the age of 23 and not until recently had I realised how much of an impact this had on my life.
I had had stopped having periods, which in turn left me feeling ‘un-womanly’ and of low self-esteem. I suffered huge sugar cravings, continually wanting to eat, I did little exercise and as a result was not happy with my body. I had a relatively unhealthy relationship with food – if I was stressed, I would eat and eat until I was uncomfortably full.The Mars bar was my haven.

I was not offered any support for PCOS from my GP other than symptom relief, the contraceptive pill, which I felt would just mask my problem, only then having to face it later in life.

Nutritional therapy ended up being my last resort option but I wish it was my first.
I have now had my 8th period in a row! I am thrilled.
I feel empowered in my knowledge of food, and the consequences of my food choices. I maintain a well- balanced diet, regularly exercise and have more energy. I also have a better understanding of stress, how my body works and the importance of sleep. In gaining this knowledge I now understand the why behind PCOS, female hormones and our diet. I no longer feel guilt around my occasional binging because I know why and what fuels it and it certainly isn’t greed or lack of willpower.This was a huge factor in my commitment to this journey!
Teresa was incredibly warm and professional to work with. Initially we had regular sessions which were personalised to me, my eating habits and my lifestyle. Teresa suggested I take an adrenal stress test, (involved mouth swabs), which I was happy to take; we set individual goals around my food, exercise but also around making changes in other areas of my life to reduce stress.
Teresa also sent me meal suggestions and food recipes (which I still use today!), she gave her professional assistance in choosing the correct supplements that would support my health goals, this all made my commitment to the journey easier.This isn’t necessary an easy option, it takes commitment, but for me it appeared the only one and it is 100% achievable if you have support.
Teresa has fully supported me through this as a nutritional therapist and I can’t thank her enough.”

“Without hesitation I recommend Teresa. So much of what Teresa and I have talked about and the recommendations that followed have made sense. Her focus upon evidence, and in my case the use of an extensive blood test, highlighted how I could make significant changes to improve my health and wellbeing. Teresa’s knowledge is up to date, and this is important given the many conflicting reports in the media. Teresa’s approach is comprehensive and professional; she asks many questions and within a few days produces a plan of actions. Teresa takes time to clearly explain why each action should be considered. She is empathetic and genuinely looks for the best way forward, she knows that change can be difficult.

I understand what it means to eat well and be healthy but engaging Teresa to help me with two life-long ailments has not only made me healthier but has also made it easier for me to see why and how to make many changes (in respect of nutrition, exercise, sleep, daily routines and limiting the impact of stress) that will keep me healthier for longer.”
