When I was referred to Emma I had been suffering for more than 20 years from illnesses including severe food intolerances, adrenal fatigue, anxiety and hormone imbalance.
Emma has helped me to make changes to my diet, which was hard at first, however they have corrected the causes of the intolerances and are allowing healing to take place. Her guidance has been indispensable as without it I don’t think I would have had the self-discipline.
After an active, healthy (so I thought) first 36yrs I developed an injury which resulted in years of chronic back & leg pain and left me unable to work for more than a few weeks at a time. I discovered the Bowskill Clinic and at last made great progress with my back with the help of Andrew Jackson, physiotherapist. I then took a part-time job which initially went well, but then I became so fatigued I was spending my days off on the sofa. It was then that Andrew and Graeme (physiologist at the Bowskill Clinic) sent me to see Emma, having realised I had adrenal fatigue.
My experience with Emma has been a journey of discovery, and it is still continuing. Emma is a wealth of information and has provided me with knowledge to empower myself. I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis 5 years ago, and was on medication for 2 years. After experiencing recurring flare-ups and reactions to stronger and stronger drugs, I decided to come off all medication and research a way forward myself. I changed my diet, following ‘leaky gut’ recommendations and did improve significantly but not totally. After deciding to have my mercury fillings out, my natural dentist recommended Emma. Even though I had done much research myself over the years, Emma has been the missing link in bringing everything together into a cohesive plan, with the right tests to identify issues, the right supplements and the right advice on diet and exercise.
My husband died when I was 32 leaving me with two small children, a debt of nearly a million pounds and a business to run I knew nothing about. There followed a 21 year period of extremely stressful events. I was also working seven days a week in the business and trying to bring up the boys aged 5 and 7.
