Thankyou Alex

I want to thank Alex for her help with my nutrition goals! She is kind and nurturing and put my needs first! I was initially very nervous to seek advice as I have visited other practitioners who have given me advice that seemed overwhelming and unachievable with my busy lifestyle. Since seeing Alex I finally have found some balance: I am sleeping better, am less tired throughout the day and have less cravings in the afternoon.

Thankyou for your care and patience Alex!! xx
