Helen Saunders, RSHom LCH Registered Homeopath

TESTIMONIALS

Ms B of Burton

" I am a forty year old mum with 2 young children. Having had Arthritis for a few years, I have found that pain relief from the Doctor wasn't helping much. A friend recommended seeing a Homeopath and that is how I came to consult with Helen. Since seeing her, I am now pain free and able to go about my daily tasks. Homeopathy has also helped me with my stomach symptoms as well. I have also taken my children to see Helen and they are also benefitting from Homeopathy "

Eleanor - Aged 36

I decided to look at homeopathy as a therapy as I had reached a point in my life where I no longer wanted to take medication but still very much needed to turn round key mental and emotional issues in my life. These were, without a doubt, holding me back from really living.

I have found the whole process is beneficial in that, in Helen, I have found someone to talk to about my issues, someone that won't judge and that is there to listen, understand and recommend. I seem to uncover new challenges as I let go of old ones which I believe to be a positive thing, in that it shows a great move forward for me. I am in a brighter place than I have been in the 16 years that I have carried these issues with me.

I wholeheartedly believe in homeopathy and know that it has helped me to move my life forward. I rush to take the remedy as soon as I get it and enjoy experiencing the gentle changes unfold.

Mrs S of Blackfordby

" After years of going to the doctors with problem periods and eczema and not seeing any results, I decided to go and try Homeopathy.

Within a few months of treatment with Helen, my periods are much more under control and my eczema has cleared up completely. I would recommend Homeopathy to anyone "

Sandra - Aged 28

After suffering with severe migraines for approximately 16 - 17 years, I have tried most things available - both prescription and "over the counter" treatments. Although they may work well initially they do eventually seem to give up. I tried homeopathy as a last alternative really and although this treatment has only begun recently, I can honestly say that is has dramatically reduced my illness along with the nasty symptoms that acute migraine brings with it.
