"I really enjoyed my consultations with Morna. Her approach is friendly and open. I found it very easy to talk to her about my (slightly embarrassing!) health problems. She is a very good listener and it was a revelation for me when she explained that my health problems were likely to be interlinked. After my first consultation, Morna drew up a plan which involved simple dietary/lifestyle changes (including delicious recipes) and some vitamin supplements. I have experienced 32 years of constipation and skin problems - I am pleased to say they have now resolved after just two consultations. I feel healthier and have more energy and I enjoy a healthier diet. I have always been interested in nutrition and had thought that I was quite healthy, so it was interesting to learn that some of the 'health foods' I was eating, such as wheat based cereals, were exacerbating my symptoms. I would really recommend Morna as a practitioner for her professionalism, approachability and great results. Thank you Morna!"

"Before meeting Morna I found 'health eating' a complete minefield, having read numerous books and articles with seemingly conflicting advice. I was feeling completely overwhelmed as I was suffering from a number of food intolerances, mood swings, constant sugar cravings, water retention and PMS and had tried and failed on numerous occasions to rectify these problems. I had also battled with fluctuating weight for a number of years.
From the first consultation Morna instilled a sense of confidence in me that it could all be resolved with improved nutrition and supplements. She broke everything down into simple terms (even the 'science bit') She was extremely approachable and offered continued support. I was able to contact her at any point I was struggling and she was on hand with great advice, not just on nutrition but on general lifestyle - which always helped to get me back on track. The follow up phone calls and weekly food planner were invaluable.
A few months on and I no longer have to dread going out for a meal, or figuring out what to eat on a daily basis (previously weekly food shops had been a nightmare - trying to avoid certain ingredients) as my intolerances have all but disappeared. I have a brand new attitude to food and my weight is stable. I no longer suffer from mood swings, cravings and my PMS has improved greatly. I look and feel better than I have in years and have even inspired others around me to take similar action - also with fantastic results! The changes I have made have impacted every area of my life, an I am amazed at the effect that improved nutrition has.
I can't thank you enough Morna for your help and support, and will recommend nutritional therapy to anyone struggling to take control of their life and health. Nutrition has such a big impact and with your advice and guidance it's simple and enjoyable to fix! Thank you Morna!"

"I was recommended to Morna by my daughter in April 2008. My weight was 15st 7lbs. I was very breathless on climbing the stairs to Morna's room for my first appointment. Generally I was feeling very low about myself. Both my husband and I are diabetic, controlled by medication. Our cholesterol is supposedly high but we refused medication. I could not get my sugar level down below 9.5, and was low on energy. Morna discussed my problems very thoroughly. I was recommended a totally different way of eating. Being overweight she also recommended a low GL diet. I really enjoyed my new diet, it was a little daunting to take in initially, but after a couple of weeks I was astounded at the difference in my energy levels. An added bonus was my weight loss. We have just been on holiday to the Lake District and I was amazed at some of the hills I was able to walk, also climbing the stairs to Morna's office for my follow up appointment was no longer a problem! I am losing my weight very steadily now, currently weighing 14st 2lbs. My blood sugar level has gone down to 5 or 6 and I am hoping to come off my medication for diabetes. I have gained a lot of confidence in myself due to Morna. I would like to thank her, and my daughter for recommending her. "

"I have noticed a difference already because normally on a morning my feet are really sore and I always lean on the bannister going downstairs for the first time, today and yesterday the soreness was much less so I am really hopeful that you have found the way forward for me. I also felt much less tired yesterday towards evening and was able to pack a box or two instead of slumping in front of the TV at 6.30!"

"I went to see Morna after having a laparoscopy which revealed a severe endometriosis. I have suffered from painful periods all my life thinking that it was something that some women had to go through. When completing the questionnaire previous to the visit, I also mentioned that I had suffered from a light allergy for many years. A GP originally diagnosed a Rhinitis, possibly caused by an allergy to dust, dust mites or even humidity. I was recommended to take anti allergy tablets and told that nothing more could be done. Morna provided me with a plan advising me to stop dairy products, red meat, caffeine and alcohol for at leas 3 months. She also provided me with a list of vitamins and mineral supplements which I ordered through the internet. She gave me good and useful advice, recipes and recommended several books about endometriosis.
I went back to see Morna a month after my first visit and was able to tell her how much better I already felt. I have reduced the number of painkillers I usually take during my period by more than half. My allergy has also completely disappeared which I cannot quite believe.
I am still currently following the plan as well as the vitamins/supplements for the next few months until the pain disappear and am due back at the hospital in six months time. Adapting to the plan has been relatively easy, it is also helped that I can contact Morna by phone or email if I have questions or need to clarify something. I really recommend the visit. "

" I became interested in the prospect of seeking the help of a nutritional therapist after suffering from a catalogue of symptoms including IBS, anxiety and skin problems for a number of years despite eating what I thought was a 'healthy diet'. Enough was enough and I needed a change! The first time I went to Morna, I broke down in tears as she very accurately described what she thought was going on with me and why. Morna was sympathetic to my position and we worked together quickly to formulate an eating plan which was realistic and easy to follow. She also recommended various nutritional supplements and supported me with follow up recipes, meal plans, goals and email contact. My second visit to Morna a month later was a different affair - I was so full of energy that even she was surprised at the change in me and my symptoms! My tummy troubles had almost gone, I had increased energy and confidence and my skin was clearer. I would recommend nutritional therapy and Morna to anybody that believes that their diet may be causing them problems. Believe me, you won't look back!"
