Meet Suzy
I call my business Look After You because I have a long held belief that when so many of us look after others – we must start by looking after ourselves first.
I have been using Natural protocols to heal myself and my family for 40 years and I have been in practice since the mid ’90’s as a Reflexologist and Naturopathic Nutritionist , please see testimonials to appreciate the expertise and experience offered.
I practice what I preach! I enjoy using Nutrition & Naturopathic philosophy for good health throughout life and I love sharing that information and enthusiasm with my patients. I love working with people who really want to take the reins and responsibility and heal themselves back to wellness with great Nutrition for re-nourishment and Naturopathic techniques for Detoxification. For an even greater healing boost and a treat for the Mind, Soul and Body please take a look at my Juice Detox Retreats page.
I have a regular monthly Reflexology session myself to ‘look after me’ so that I can offer a great relaxing, healing space in my practice to everyone that chooses to come along for Reflexology. Please look at my Nutrition and Reflexology pages for more detail on each of those.
I qualified as a Reflexologist with the Association of Reflexologists (AoR); the UK’s largest Reflexology body in 1995. and I gained my Diploma in Natural Nutrition in 1999. I started teaching Reflexology in 1999 and Nutrition in 2003 and have the City and Guilds 7407 Stage 1 and 2 teaching Certificate and the A1 Assessors Award qualifications
I had an unusual upbringing around Health, which has given me huge confidence in the effectiveness of complementary therapies. During my early teens my youngest sister started with epilepsy following age 5 vaccination and further medical intervention was little help. A Homeopath & Acupuncturist was successful in helping my sister to heal from the fits and from the depression caused by medication. A little while later my father, unsupported by medics for gut issues, made changes to his Nutrition and healed himself, the main strategy along with others that I used to heal myself of eczema in my late teens. In my early twenties my mother had gallstones which she sought Homeopathic and Naturopathic help for and successfully healed from with no medical intervention. All of these ‘dis-ease’ events, led me to research very carefully during my pregnancies with my own young family. Reading of the many side effects of vaccinations, it seemed clear to me that my daughters would do better developing their own immunity through good diet.
I discovered Reflexology from library books when my daughters were very young and they loved it so much and seemed to get such benefit to their immune system from it that I decided to train. My Natural Nutrition course followed four years later when I realised that I wanted to help patients with something that they could help themselves with.
Some testimonials
I have been seeing Suzy for 18 months as a Nutritionist. Having suffered from Arthritis for 30+ years I was quite a mess but from day one Suzy has really helped me and my condition for which I am very grateful. I was lucky enough to be introduced to Suzy in 2002. I had been diagnosed with underactive thyroid and lupus and as a result was suffering from depression. I was prescribed anti-depressants for over a year and hit rock bottom. When I met Suzy we looked right back to childhood. My system as a whole is very slow, I suffer from bad circulation and had Reynauds disease and varicose veins in my legs. I suffered from Acne and I hated looking in a mirror, my skin produced big pus filled spots which knocked my confidence further. Suzy said it could take a couple of years to get my body back on track which it did. She supported me with nutritional and naturopathic techniques advice. I feel a different person now, my head is clear; I can think straight and can retain information. I am finally happy and I don’t take any prescribed drugs apart from thyroxin. My skin has been clear for over six years. I am 39 weeks pregnant with my second child and Reflexology has helped my sleeping pattern and circulation. I have also received Reflexology recently for a back complaint, apart from feeling totally relaxed throughout the consultation my back felt so much better the next day. I feel very privileged to know Suzy and will continue to utilise her experience and expertise, a big thank you to a real special lady. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. A time for pure self-indulgence and you leave feeling fully relaxed. A very skilled practitioner who is able to treat ailments effectively. E.M. Suzy was recommended to me by a close friend in September 2010 to help me treat ulcerative colitis and severe anaemia. I had a nutritional consultation Suzy suggested working on hydration, nutrient absorption and liver support. Her explanations were very clear and interesting and she emailed me with instructions and I found her very approachable when I needed something explaining or was having any difficulties. After implementing her recommendations, using techniques, taking daily supplements and abstaining from foods and drinks which were blocking absorption. I felt much better, my energy levels improved and symptoms cleared up. Till now (January 2011) I have not had another flare up and so long as I stick to the diet I feel so much better. It’s been hard at times to keep to the diet but well worth it. Suzy is very friendly, knowledgeable, intuitive and caring and I am grateful to Suzy and to the friend who put me in touch with her.Osteo-arthritis
When Suzy started offering Reflexology in Leeds I thought why not give it a try. It was the most relaxing hour I have ever had. When it was over I felt I was walking on air. It is brilliant so go on give it a try and if you need a Nutritionist try Suzy.
