Testimonials

“I just wanted to let you know that it was a major milestone in my life for me, I know everyone gets as much or as little out of anything they do in this life, but it has definitely released the emotional issues I had about food. It doesn't hold me anymore as I know I am in charge of it, not the other way round. I also think you should know that you have influenced the way I am thinking about things. You taught me a great deal, more than you realise.” - Helen Bell (Naturopath, Kent)

“The juice fasting "weekend" was a great experience. It just reminded me again how profound the process of detoxification is. I am feeling great, full of energy. I have lost ½ stone, which adds to the desire and motivation to continue. I have become easier going, more in tune and in peace with myself and I have met some very special people which I hope will become very good friends. I would definitely do it again hopefully for a longer period of time and I would definitely "push" my clients to get more into it.” - Enrida Kelly (Naturopath, London)
