When I came to see Canda I had been experiencing almost permanent problems with acid reflux and heartburn for many years. I thought it was something I’d just have to live with. I then had some further digestion issues ( including upper back pain) which prompted my initial visit.

Canda was very thorough, exploring my health background. She prescribed a tincture for me which begun to improve things almost instantly. That was 5 months ago and now acid reflux and heartburn are mostly a thing of the past.

As well as providing the tincture, Canda offered some helpful lifestyle tips and recipes. It wasn’t rocket science but informed encouragement to help me improve what I consume and included us discovering a new family favourite recipe!

There have been some pleasant surprises to taking the tincture regularly too. As my gut health has improved I’ve noticed that my nails look healthier and I feel my immune system has been strengthened too.

I was suffering from continual sinus problems.  Canda took a detailed history and probed deeply, where necessary, in a kind and caring manner.  My sinuses have greatly improved giving me far more enjoyment in life, plus as a bonus for me, my eczema and psoriasis, which I’ve had all my life, are clearing.  I recommend Canda extremely highly.

I ate an orange today!!!!  Even 1 month ago I wouldn’t have been able to be in the same room as someone peeling and eating an orange (apple, lemon, pineapple, strawberries, vinegar, ketchup etc etc) let alone eat one without my face burning, lips and throat swelling and eyes stinging.  Thanks to Canda now I can.  My tincture has changed my life in more ways than one.  I gave up conventional medicine because it wasn’t helping my menopause symptoms but honestly medical herbalism has.  Give it a go.

I had a really wonderful experience with Canda and highly recommend her work to anyone considering an alternative approach to their health enquiries. My initial consultation was to discuss and seek help for menopause symptoms, but we explored so much further over the following months. Canda is extremely easy to talk to, taking time to listen to my concerns, creating a detailed list of all my symptoms and providing me with suggestions on food and diet that I could start implementing straight away. The herbal tinctures that Canda made for me were tweaked after each monthly visit as my symptoms changed, and I am pleased to report that after a few months, I have made some great changes for life in my diet, my symptoms have gone and I am back to full health.

Thanks again Canda! Visting you was the best thing I did for myself this year.

Canda is an extremely skilled practitioner. She (and her fantastic herbal remedies) have guided me through some very dark months of my life and led me to pastures new where sprouts of new life are beginning to shoot up with enthusiasm. I am still working on changing my old habits, but, little by little there is a new light that I have never seen before. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a natural solution to any systemic problem.

My GP told me I had too many contra-indications for her to help, and to seek out a good herbalist instead. I have suffered from endometriosis and hyperplasia for years and it has had a profoundly challenging impact on my life. I also started to get symptoms of the peri-menopause and really wasn't able to cope!

Canda has taken great care to listen to the specifics of what I was experiencing and adapted remedies to suit. Over the months my symptoms have improved hugely, with a significant reduction in peri-menopausal symptoms, and marked decrease in pain associated with endometriosis. This has been so welcome, finally my life isn't dominated by pain and discomfort!

After suffering terrible PMS and menstruation for over a year I sought help from Canda - and how much I wished I had done so sooner! Very quickly I noticed my emotions and anxiety reducing, and many symptoms and tracking markers reducing over 6 months. I even came to enjoy my cycle ocassionally - something I thought impossible! Not only this but the caring and thorough attention that Canda brings to her work so naturally also highlighted other systems out of balance which quickly resolved and also released more life and energy into my days and weeks. I have been recommending her to many. Thank you, Canda

When I first started seeing Canda I had been suffering with various digestive symptoms and food intolerance issues for many years. All GP testing had come back clear and I had tried various diets but they had made very little difference to my symptoms and my diet had become very restrictive in terms of what I could and couldn’t eat without a symptom flare up.

Canda gave me a very in-depth initial consultation and followed it up with an extensive protocol via email. I then saw her for monthly check-ins over the course of the treatment. The treatment lasted around 6 months, Canda successfully treated my SIBO infection with tinctures, teas and dietary protocols. The teas became a delicious daily ritual and the tinctures were easy to incorporate into my routine.

I am pleased to say that I am now symptom free and am able to eat a much wider range of foods, which has made a huge difference to my overall quality of life.

I am so grateful to Canda as her work has had a hugely beneficial impact on my overall health. I couldn’t recommend Canda highly enough - she is very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and passionate about the work she does. I will definitely see her again and would recommend her without hesitation.

I visited Canda for advice regarding a persistent UTI that I’d had for some months. She very carefully captured a broad picture of my past history and current symptoms, and dug deeper into other issues that were likely to affect my overall health and resistance to infection.

Canda offered me different options for treatment and the one I went for was pretty intensive, starting with a tincture every two hours, plus a herbal tea and immune tonic. She also suggested a few simple changes to my diet and shared a couple of helpful recipes.

The treatment was very thorough and, a few months on, the UTI is completely gone! My immune response is showing signs of great improvement and I feel I have much better understanding of my body and the simple things I can do to keep healthy.

I really appreciate Canda’s attentive, balanced and careful approach to herbal medicine and find it helpful that she also recognises the wisdom of accepting my GP’s advice regarding some aspects of my treatment.
