Working with Sandra was one of the best decisions I ever made. I found Sandra online in my quest to heal many years of burn out, pretty severe hormonal imbalances after coming off the pill, and long covid. I was a nervous wreck, an insomniac, all of my hair had fallen out, and my skin was constantly flaring up with hormonal spots. Sandra supported me back to health, her knowledge and expertise is one of a kind. After a month of working together, I could finally sleep, my hair was growing back, my hormones began to calm down and my long covid symptoms eased! I learnt so much about my body whilst working with Sandra, she really takes the time to listen and she is an absolute joy to work with. Not only is she an amazing Functional Medicine practitioner, but also a lovely person. I have recommended her to all of my friends and family and will continue to do so – thank you Sandra!

Sandra came highly recommended to me from a friend

I finally found expert support and will to understand my issues rather than being fobbed off with “it’s just how you are” or with antibiotics as I had been in the past by health professionals. The psychological benefit of not feeling that maybe I’m just a bit freakish was significant

I also underwent tests that I would have never otherwise considered. These helped me understand the importance of cholesterol, which has led to a firm change in my diet (i.e. eating [hen-friendly] eggs). Sandra’s experience in cosmetics has also left me with better skin. And, the supplements Sandra prescribed were carefully selected with detailed and clear explanations as to the intended effect of them all. These have helped reduce my number of loose stools.

I was relieved and grateful for the effort Sandra put in to working with my diet choice (vegan) rather than seeking to eliminate it. I really appreciated the time Sandra put into researching the what’s, why’s and alternatives that would work for me. Also, overall, Sandra’s attention to detail was noteworthy and confidence-inducing.

I would recommend working with Sandra to all my friends.

I came to Sandra with over two years of almost constant fatigue, seizures and acne. I had been in and out of hospital for five years dealing with chronic inflammation & interstitial cystitis, but the fatigue had gotten so extreme, that I could barely leave my bed in the morning, and was falling asleep twice a day.

I had been to the doctors lots across the last two years and each time was sent away confused and demeaned- ‘you’re just stressed, it’s your mental health.’

I knew it wasn’t.

I’d tried every new diet, new supplement and new procedure to regain energy, under the sun. I didn’t eat meat, I had no caffeine, and was addicted to sugar but doing my level best to curtail it. 

Sandra was a last ditch attempt to get my life back. I had left a full time job to go freelance self employed- I was attempting to chase my dreams but this issue was getting in the way. I ate vegan, and very healthy, but had ZERO energy, and suffered from acne and hormonal issues as well.

Turns out, after looking at a detailed history, I had been destroyed from the inside by years and years of antibiotics, given to me by confused doctors for interstitial cystitis, that I hadn’t ever needed. It’s not infection, but they kept treating it as such. 

My body had destroyed itself from the stomach onwards – I couldn’t absorb nutrients anymore, my dopamine and serotonin receptors weren’t any longer firing, and I was weeks away from chronic fatigue. 

Sandra said to me, in our first session, ‘In three months we will have fixed all of this.’

I left in shock, bursting into relieved tears in the street. Finally a solution?

She was wrong, because by TWO months, I was not only totally cured, full of energy and healthy, but also PREGNANT, which I didn’t think would be possible!!

THANK YOU Sandra!!

My experience of working with Sandra has definitely been a positive one.

Having been on the pill for many years I reached out to her for help with the aftermath/withdrawal of coming off the pill which for me included symptoms such as, acne, fatigue and inflammation. I had been under the impression I had PCOS for many years, diagnosed by doctors when I was 15, which was partly why I went on the pill in the first place, we found that I no longer had PCOS, a huge relief and I was also surprised to find that being off the pill the regular back/neck pain I had been experiencing reduced dramatically. Since working with Sandra and developing a diet to suit me, my skin has been a lot clearer and I now have the knowledge and tools to make good decisions to support my body in particular my skin and pain management.

For anyone struggling with similar issues I would definitely recommend Sandra, as long as you are prepared to change long term habits and take on positive new ones you will find this an empowering experience.

I contacted Sandra because I suffer with Ulcerative Colitis and had been on Infliximab infusions for over a year. I was still suffering with constant pain and frequent bowl movements but I was now also suffering with side effects from the infusions. I started seeing Sandra just as the hospital agreed to stop the infusions, which was a great support as I was offered no ongoing care by the hospital.

Sandra devised quite an extreme diet plan with supplements for me. This was due to the extent of my condition which had hospitalised me for 2 weeks with a threat of bowel removal.

I found the diet challenging at first but I continued to stick with it as I felt bowel removal was not an option. My symptoms continued to improve over the next few weeks. Only 3 months later I’m symptom free and feeling happy and relieved. I know that I will have to continue with my new caveman diet in order to maintain my health, but overall it has changed my attitude towards food. For this I am extremely grateful to Sandra for her support and guidance and I would thoroughly recommend her.

I came to Sandra because I had problems with menstrual cramps, acne on back and shoulders and teeth grinding. I had seen the GP who was unhelpful and had tried to tackle these problems on my own unsuccessfully.

Before I decided to go ahead with Sandra we had a quick phone call to discuss her approach and how she could help me. She came across extremely knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
