Testimonials
“Being a plus size lady with PCOS things were always tough for me in this space. At age 37 me and my husband had been trying for a baby for over 7 years of our marriage, and as our age was creeping up so were some of our other health and fertility issues. Sue kept me fully accountable and on track throughout her programme (and continues to support me after as well). I lost 1 stone 2lbs in weight and 15.5 inches from my overall body measurements. The biggest result was a reduced period cycle bringing my irregular cycle into balance, which also helped make my ovulation dates more predictable. I knew there were massive shifts happening internally. The best part of the whole journey with Sue, two months after completing her programme and adopting certain lifestyle and nutrition changes, I successfully conceived, and we are expecting our first baby after trying for 7 years. If you are thinking to work with Sue, I would not think twice! Go for it! It has been such a significant turning point in my life and one which I desperately needed, and Sue helped me so much with this transition. I am so happy and grateful I chose Sue to work with. I cannot thank Sue enough!”~ Suman , Birmingham
“After 3 years of trying with 4 losses and 2 unsuccessful rounds of IVF I am now 22 weeks pregnant. I conceived 4 months after working with Sue improving my health and especially my gut health. I am so delighted.”~ Emma, London
"Sue has helped me immensely on my conception journey. After trying for a couple of months, I came across her website and was intrigued to find out more. Sue put me on her 60 day Cleanse, Balance and Boost programme that transformed the way I now think about food. After following her diet and lifestyle plan not only did I feel great physically and mentally but to my surprise I fell pregnant the following month! We are so grateful for Sue’s guidance and support and cannot recommend her enough. Sue then also helped guide and support me in my first few months of pregnancy in keeping a positive mindset and just someone I knew I could reach out to with any worries or questions. I will always be grateful to Sue for guiding us through this journey!"~ Anisha
"Before Sue came into my life, I was feeling really low, exhausted , underactive thyroid and on medication, bloated. My skin was terrible. I had dry patches everywhere and itchy all over. I was constipated and very negative. I was just not in control of my body or my mind. I started Sue's programme only 6 weeks ago and I feel like a new woman. I honestly wake up with a smile on my face. I have so much energy, but best of all I now have a positive outlook on life."~ Natalie, Edinburgh
"I was looking for a healthier diet and an alternative approach for CFS after being told by experts I would never recover from CFS, BUT I WAS DETERMINED and I believe I was divinely guided to Sue and her programme.I had been struggling with Chronic Fatigue for 10 years. I already do recommend Sue's programme to everyone I know as I have improved so much in only three months I want everyone to know. I've lost a stone without even trying and with hardly any exercise! My energy levels have gone from 2/10 to 8/10. I no longer need painkillers and antidepressants. The need to take a rest 3-4 times a day is a thing of the past. I now go out socially and not have to leave early anymore.Gained confidence and learned to take more care of myself. To be honest I feel that I have been brought back from the brink.”~ Julie B.
"The hardest decision in embarking on a programme like this, is to just DO IT! Getting started is the biggest and most difficult decision to make, but when you are faced with the choice of "medication for life or your health won't improve", to being able to live a healthy life with no medication, I knew the choice was then simple. “Working with Sue has been one of the best decisions of my life. She is not only an amazing lady, but provides constant coaching and support throughout the whole programme. So much so, that I have lost 1.5 stone in weight so far, and the inches have dropped off and my business' are starting to thrive. I feel great.”~ Caroline B., Derby
"I met Sue in a round about way. Very thankful that I did. We got to talking about my Rheumatoid Arthritis and she told me about this program. I got on it right away, because I was tired of being tired and want the arthritis to leave my body. Product delivered almost as soon as we hung up the phone. Me in the USA & her in London. I couldn't believe how fast my order arrived. The results, I lost weight (unexpected) my energy levels are WOW! I didn't realize how much junk was in my system. I'm still taking one of the supplements. The inflammation factor was very low, I specifically asked my RA doctor to check how my levels were. They are very low now, 10 years ago after being diagnosed with severe RA, the factor being off the charts it was so high. It’s great to know that one of my drugs has been reduced & am tapering off of it & will be off of it in 3 months! Next visit, I hope he says...you no longer have it. Thanks Sue & for all the great, yummy recipes, hints & tips to get me off these drugs. I can't thank you enough. I look forward to updating my testimonial to YAY! It got me off the RA meds!"~ Susan, Utah
