Are we really becoming a nation of neurotic mothers? This is a question I asked myself a lot 10 years ago, when my son was sick and yet no doctor would take the time to listen to me. He had an ongoing cough, every cold went to his chest, he was diagnosed with asthma initially, then went to bronchitis, he was given antibiotics & steroid inhalers, then diagnosed with atypical pneumonia, 3 more courses of antibiotics followed and still no improvement. Over my years in practice a

I’ve seen many children with Sensory Processing Disorder over the years. None were as severe as the case I am presenting now: Ellie’s Mum contacted me in July this year with concerns over her daughters SPD, emotional meltdowns and aggression. I have never met Ellie and both of our appointments have been carried out online via her Mum. Ellie is 6 years old. She is a very sensitive child who feels emotions very strongly.

Ed is 7, his mum brought him to see me in January this year with concerns over his immunity. Life was a constant cycle of colds, swollen glands and chesty coughs, he would always seem to have some viral condition that he could never completely shake off. When he was ill he would spike some massive fevers. He was a very outgoing confident child, popular with his school friends, if not a little bossy! Very hyperactive and extremely vocal, he could get a bit ‘slap happy’ accord

Here’s a simple case, treated over 2 appointments, to illustrate the beautiful simplicity of the constitutional remedy. Lucy’s Story Lucy came to see me in October 2016. Her mother was worried about sleep issues,anxiety & poor concentration at school. Lucy was a shy 9 year old, she arrived at the first appointment holding her mother’s hand tightly. She looked terrified and I tried my best to put her at ease. A child of few words but with the weight of the world on her young
