I’ve had terrible period pain for as long as I can remember. I tried everything—jumping from one pill to another, getting the Mirena, and basically living on painkillers. Nothing really helped long-term. I found Alison through a recommendation on Facebook, and I’m so glad I did! She has helped me so much—I’m off the pill (and I feel so much better emotionally), and we’ve managed to reduce my period pain from a 10/10 to a much more manageable 2/10. I honestly never thought that was possible. Thank you, Alison!

My partner and I had been trying to conceive for about 18 months and had gone through four failed IVF cycles. Doctors kept telling us that everything looked fine, but nothing was working. A friend recommended Alison, and I’m so glad we decided to try something different. After working with her, I am now 7 months pregnant! I honestly can’t thank her enough.

I was really struggling with hot flushes due to menopause, but I didn’t want to take HRT. A friend recommended Alison, so I thought I’d give it a try. She gave me a mix of herbs (which I jokingly called my ‘potion’) and some vitamins, and within a few days, I started noticing a difference. After about a month, I suddenly realized I’d gone multiple days without a single hot flush! My husband is also pretty happy because my libido has improved, and sex is no longer painful. I feel like myself again – thank you, Alison!

I have been with Alison for around 18 months now. I live 6 hours away, but we’ve been doing Skype and phone consults. I’m so glad I made the decision to see a Naturopath. I was 51 when I started and was on the birth control pill. I wanted to cease taking it. Alison helped make the transition smooth. We detoxed and I didn’t have the expected “withdrawals” from not taking it anymore. She also introduced me to anti-inflammatory eating which helped me lose weight, as well as helping my health. I still consult with Alison every couple of months and she always offers great advise in many areas in which I might need help. I encourage my friends to go see a Naturopath because it’s a great way to get your body “fixed”. So I encourage you to do so too. *grin* Cheers to good health.

I’ve been seeing Alison for 3 months now, and I highly recommend her. I was a bit sceptical about seeing a naturopath but Alison was really caring and knowledgeable, and the stuff works. I’m a convert!

I was getting UTIs all the time, and was constantly in pain with them. The doctor kept telling me there wasn’t actually an infection despite the pain I was experiencing, but even if I took antibiotics it didn’t help much either. Alison made me some herbs and gave me a probiotic and within a week I wasn’t getting as much pain, and within a month I was pain free. I’m still taking my herbs and I haven’t had an infection yet. My boyfriend and I really thank you! ;P

After trying to fall pregnant and lose some weight without success I saw an ad in the local paper for a naturopath. I had my first consultation with Alison and she gave me an eating plan, set some targets, identified some problems and told me I could be pregnant within 9 months. Alison made me feel very comfortable as I hadn’t been to a naturopath before and she explained everything thoroughly.

Throughout the 8 months I’d changed my ways of eating and started taking herbs, I’d lost 12 kilos and was pregnant with my first child. Alison has taught me a lot about food choices and my little boy is now 4 months old.

I came to see Alison for help with losing weight, and controlling my menopausal symptoms, as I didn’t like the idea of using artificial hormones. I was tired all the time and stressed out as well. Alison made me a herbal formula and also gave me some vitamin D, and within a month my energy and stress levels improved, I lost 5kg and a few cm off my waist, and and my hot flushes started reducing as well.

For 20 years I have been overweight, been back and forth to the GP only to get the same old lecture diet and exercise is the key. I have maintained healthy eating habits and exercised but just wasn’t getting results. More recently I was noticing that I was having some hormonal changes and 2 years of slogging it out at the gym with little or no result I went back to my GP to have a blood test for hormone levels . They came back “normal” – not happy with this I went for a second opinion and was told the same: you’re normal but you should consider gastric bypass surgery. That freaked me out!! What am I going to do now? I didn’t think I really needed surgery.

A friend referred me to Alison, I will admit I was very skeptical but for me it was one last try to get answers. After my initial consultation and some external tests , it was revealed that I do have a hormone imbalance and also bad bacteria in my bowel. The VLA test outlined my body composition , 50% body fat, dehydrated along with other information. Alison used my test results and VLA body composition and presented me with a action plan.. Now after approx 6mth with Alison’s action plan ,diet tweaks and some herbal treatments I am finally winning my battle with my weight. For me I know its not going to be an overnight solution but with Alison’s guidance I know I will achieve my goals. I hope people reading this will be inspired to try something alternative to get the answers.

Alison helped me with some issues I was having during pregnancy. I found her approach to be very caring and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking the care of a Naturopath.
