When I needed help and guidance with my little dog who had developed Mast Cell Tumours, Margaret provided the expert advice I needed. With a new plan, a new diet and supplements and experienced advice on hand, the tumours have reduced and are at bay. I would not hesitate to contact Margaret, her knowledge is second to none! More...

A friend and I stayed at The Leaf Retreat for 2 weeks. Mags and Kev were so lovely - they were great hosts and made us feel so welcome, they ensured that we felt at home the whole time and kept checking that we had everything we needed! It was a pleasure staying at The Leaf Retreat and all of the lovely dogs were great to see everyday. We would both love to go back and stay again as it was such a great place. We couldn't have asked for better hosts, thank you Kevin & Mags! More...

What an amazing place peaceful, relaxing and loads of wildlife to enjoy, feels like your a million miles away from civilisation in your tranquil garden & home but the bonus is your just a short walk away from a lovely village centre. I would highly recommend a visit & I cannot believe how reasonable your prices are everywhere we have stayed charges us per night per dog & that's if they will let more than two stay at all. One rate no matter how many pugs you have amazing xxx More...

How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
Our cellular health is over-looked in conventional medicine. The health of our single cell reflects throughout our body and into our emotions. A scared cell creates fearful emotions. Our modern day diets are crippling our cellular functions, nutrition literally is the backbone to health and well - food heals!
What do you love most about your job?
I know what it is like to be in pain, to be judged, to struggle. And you know when you just need to find that person that can listen and understand you. I love being able to make clients feel better. Listening to clients story in a case history is an incredibly rewarding role, knowing they put their trust in you. When I listen I get excited to transfer their pain into a positive experience which they can develop from. I get excited because naturopathics, nutrition and energetics opens up to a much bigger world and is actually a way of life; I love being the first person that can help them to begin their journey into relating the Earth is magical and our body is amazing.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was born with a congenital condition which is incredibly rare. Doctors could not help as a child and so I was always seeking ways to heal myself which lead me down very many diverse and wonderful avenues which I studied and experienced part-time during my teaching career. I found nutrition, herbalism and energetics to be remarkable, extremely beneficial and just so interesting that I decided to become a professional in Nutritional Healing and Holistics. I retired from teaching and lecturing so I could do the work I loved full time as business so I could help others.
Why should our clients choose you?
I am empathic, compassionate and non-judgemental. We all do our best and I am here simply to help. I am good at what I do and very experienced. I heal in a unique way and with great success.
Holistic Therapies
Perfect for stress, anxiety and those in need of life-coaching. I offer lessons in spirituality, meditation, Angels, vibrational therapy including colour and crystals. Whichever modality you choose I can help you to tune into your intuition, value yourself and create routine. Within a calmer mind you can be sure your intuition takes you in the right direction and helps you to make more successful choices. Be the person you were meant to be but without all the stress and anxiet! Individual sessions from £35
Nutritional Therapy
I offer consultations in chronic dis-ease. Consultations take around 1-2 hours where a full case history is taken, detailing inheritance, dietary habits and a life-events timeline. This information allows to me to assess the nutrients you were born with, those that you have obtained or been deficient in at important periods in your development and also to assess the levels of stress that your body has been subjected too. Once we take all these factors into consideration and together we formulate a plan and decided what treatments would suit you best. I then go away and write up a full report. You can expect to pay £135 for the first consultation with follow-ups considerably less. You will also be given a significant number of goals for around a period of 3 months so very much value for money. I offer payment schemes so that clients that are in difficult circumstance can still invest in their health. If you have bone issues such as swollen joints and arthritis, digestive issues such as IBS or acid reflux or poor skin integrity, autoimmune or signs of blood toxicity such as chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, anxiety, stress, insomnia or hormonal disorders then please do get in touch I offer a free initial call so I can explain how I can help you and answer any questions that you may have. Please note, that I am not recommending Nutritional Therapy as a replacement for medical advice; if you suffering from a chronic dis-ease you must be under the care of a GP or specialist so we can work together to achieve the best and safest outcome for you.
Dietary Advice
Ideal for those needing help formulating or improving their nutrition, ideal for veganism, vegetarianism or those that must follow a special dietary regime. I am very experienced when it comes to nutrient requirements and nutrition is a remarkable and exciting subject. I welcome enquiries from anyone with specific dietary questions, those follow vegan or vegetarian diets but feel they may be lacking in areas of their diet. I am straight talking and can simply tell you where you are going wrong and what you need to do to solve your problems in easy and simple goals. Please note, I have success in helping clients to find a healthy weight but I do not recommend ‘pop-nutrition’ diet regimes as following restrictive diets can be dangerous long-term; rather we address the root cause and create a bespoke plan with health at the forefront of weight loss. Please get in touch should you have an enquiry and I will answer any questions or concerns
