Client Stories
Here you’ll find real stories, shared with permission, from people who have experienced the benefits of Ayurveda through Health Consultations, Marmapuncture and teatments. Some came for relief from pain or fatigue and more complex disorders, others for help with hormones, stress, or simply to feel like themselves again.
I hope their journeys inspire you and give you a glimpse of what’s possible when ancient Ayurvedic wisdom is employed where allopathic medicine has been limited in it’s ability to teat the whole picture.

"I met Natalie when I was looking for help with balancing my hormones. I was experiencing symptoms of PMDD made worse by perimenopause.
I was stressed, exhausted, low in mood, bloated and couldn’t lose weight no matter how hard I tried.
My home and work life were significantly impacted.I had tried support from my GP, CBT, counselling and a long list of diets, exercise regimes and supplements! All helped a little but the changes were not significant or long lasting.
I decided to invest in the holistic consultation and began with the simple and low cost ideas Natalie suggested. I started to notice changes very quickly and this gave me the confidence to invest further in my health and wellbeing through the treatments.
All I can say is wow! My physical, mental and spiritual health is the best it has been in years, possibly ever.
I have tried many of the treatments, Shirodara HeadFlow, Udvartana Detox Body Scrub, massages and Marmapuncture. It is hard to choose which treatment was most beneficial as this really was a holisitic approach. My advice would be to trust Natalie to guide you on what treatments would benefit you. She will guide you in choose according to your needs, budget and time.
The clinic space is a haven of peace and tranquillity. I felt safe and held in the beautiful energy. I never felt rush, I felt heard and my intuition respected.
I have noticed huge changes in my physical health and appearance – no fluid retention, improved digestion, loss of inches and lbs, and reduction in PMDD symptoms. I am lifting weights heavier than I ever dreamed possible, I am running again and I’ve not had any coughs or colds. My mental health is also improved and the fatigue is almost gone. I am calm and present with my family, I can see the joy in life and I feel much better equipped to handle the challenges life continues to bring.
This approach is so different to anything else I have tried (and I have tried a lot!) It’s holistic, covers your diet, physical and mental health, plus you can have some beautiful pampering along the way.
If you are thinking of trying Ayurveda I cannot recommend Natalie highly enough. Invest in your health and wellbeing, it really is the foundation of everything else. I will always be grateful to Natalie for the advice and care she has given me, I have myself back and know how to look after myself into the future."

I first came to see Natalie for Marmapuncture when I developed an extremely itchy skin condition that had appeared quite suddenly. It started after exposure to a strong glue at work and quickly spread across my torso, arms and legs.
The itching was almost constant and very uncomfortable, especially in the evenings when it was harder to distract myself. At its worst I would rate the itching at about 9 out of 10.
During the consultation Natalie took a lot of time to understand what was going on, not just with the skin but with my general health, lifestyle and stress levels. She explained how, from an Ayurvedic perspective, the condition was linked to an imbalance of Pitta affecting the skin, along with some underlying Vata tendencies.
The treatments and advice were aimed at calming the irritation in the skin, supporting the body’s natural balance and helping to reduce the internal heat and inflammation.
Over time the itching gradually subsided and the skin became much calmer and easier to manage. I also became more aware of how things like heat, stress and certain habits could affect the condition.
I appreciated Natalie’s thorough approach and the way she explained everything clearly. It helped me understand what was happening in my body and how to prevent a recurrence.

Finding Balance with Complex Health Challenges
I’m g“Having Natalie as part of my support team has made a profound difference in my quality of life.”
rateful for the compassionate care Natalie provides. As a woman in my fifties, I juggle caring responsibilities for a teenager and aging parents, alongside menopause and my own health issues with Young Onset Parkinson’s. This presents as a complex set of physical symptoms combined with a great deal of fatigue and emotional stress. It can feel overwhelming at times.
Natalie takes the time to listen and tailors treatments that address these issues holistically.
As a result, I’ve noticed more emotional balance and a steadier energy, which enables me to face the physical challenges that I deal with on a day-to-day basis.
I appreciate how she adjusts her approach each week, whether it’s gentle massage, point selection, or medicine prescription based on how I’m feeling, my neurological needs and motor symptoms.
I’d recommend her to anyone seeking a thoughtful, attentive practitioner who combines professional skill with genuine care. Having Natalie as part of my support team has made a profound difference in my quality of life.

I first came to see Natalie for a Health consultation & marmapuncture when I was struggling with quite severe migraines that had started to affect my day-to-day life. At the same time I was going through a very stressful period personally, separating from my long-term partner and feeling quite overwhelmed by everything that was happening.
Alongside the migraines, I had also been dealing with digestive issues, particularly constipation, which had been ongoing for some time.
From the first consultation I felt that Natalie really listened and took the time to understand what was going on for me, both physically and emotionally. She explained my symptoms from an Ayurvedic perspective in a way that made a lot of sense and helped me understand how stress, digestion and lifestyle were all connected.
The treatments themselves were incredibly calming and grounding. The foot and leg massage and the head treatments in particular helped me relax very deeply, something I realised I had not been able to do for quite a long time.
Over the course of the sessions I began to notice that my migraines were becoming less frequent and less intense. At the same time my digestion improved significantly and the constipation that had been bothering me for so long gradually settled.
Perhaps just as importantly, I started to feel calmer and more able to deal with the changes happening in my life.
I’m very grateful to Natalie for the care and attention she gave throughout the process, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a more thoughtful and holistic approach to their health and wellbeing.

I came to see Natalie after searching for a local Ayurvedic practitioner. I had experienced Ayurvedic treatments before and found them very helpful, but the clinics I had visited were too far away for regular visits.
What I immediately appreciated about Natalie was how easy and relaxed the communication felt. She took the time to understand my health concerns, heart/AF, low energy and digestive issues, and explained them clearly from an Ayurvedic perspective. As someone with a strong Pitta personality, being able to understand the ‘why’ behind the recommendations really helped me commit to making changes.
The treatments themselves were blissful and deeply relaxing. Natalie creates a calm, nurturing space that makes it easy to switch off and feel grounded. The lower leg and foot massage in particular seems to take me to another realm almost instantly. The shirodhara and head and neck treatments were equally powerful, I could literally feel years of accumulated stress melting away.
The personalised health plan was clear and practical. Having everything written down made it much easier to develop better habits around lifestyle and diet.
As a result of the treatments and the changes I’ve made, my digestive issues have improved massively and I now have noticeably more energy. My heart condition is naturally more complex and fluctuates, but overall I do feel there has been improvement, just as Natalie explained might happen gradually over time.
I would highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for an antidote to the stresses of modern life and the health issues they can bring. The level of care and personal attention she offers really stands out from my previous Ayurvedic experiences.

I originally booked a course of marmapuncture treatments with Natalie to help with ongoing back pain, as I was looking for a more traditional and natural approach to managing the problem.
Natalie was very professional and thorough from the start. During the consultation she asked about my lifestyle, diet and general wellbeing, and before each session she always checked in to see how I was feeling so she could tailor the treatment to what I needed that day.
The treatments themselves were very gentle and not uncomfortable at all. After each session I noticed that my body felt calmer, less inflamed and much more relaxed.
Over the course of the treatments my back pain improved and I also noticed a significant reduction in inflammation in my body overall. I felt more balanced and comfortable in myself.
I also had a head massage which was amazing! Natalie creates a really calm and welcoming space and it’s very easy to relax there.
Natalie is friendly, thoughtful and clearly very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a natural and holistic approach to their health.

A client came to see me feeling constantly tired, mentally overwhelmed and struggling with severe digestive discomfort that had been affecting her day-to-day life for quite some time. Despite many visits to the GP and hospital for tests, no progress was made. She described feeling as though her body and mind were “out of balance” and was looking for a more natural and holistic approach to improving her health.
During our consultation we explored her symptoms from an Ayurvedic perspective, looking at lifestyle, diet, stress levels and daily routines. It quickly became clear that her digestion and nervous system had both been under considerable strain.
We created a personalised plan that included easy adjustments to diet, daily habits and supportive Ayurvedic treatments designed to calm the nervous system and gradually strengthen digestion.
Over the following weeks she began to notice gradual but meaningful improvements. Her digestion became more comfortable, regular, and complete, her energy levels improved and she reported feeling calmer and more resilient in daily life.
Perhaps most importantly, she felt she had gained a deeper understanding of her body and how to care for her health in a more balanced way.

I came to see Natalie after struggling with ongoing digestive discomfort, including chronic acid reflux and bloating, which had been affecting my daily life for quite some time.
From the first consultation I felt that Natalie really listened and took the time to understand my overall health and lifestyle, not just the immediate symptoms. She explained things clearly from an Ayurvedic perspective and helped me see how digestion, stress and daily habits were all connected.
The personalised plan she created felt practical and supportive rather than overwhelming. It included simple dietary guidance, lifestyle changes, Ayurvedic medicines ,marmapuncture & supportive treatments.
Within a few weeks I began to notice gradual improvements. My digestion became more comfortable, the reflux disappeared and I started to feel more balanced in myself overall.
Natalie creates a very calm and nurturing environment, and the treatments themselves were deeply relaxing. I always left sessions feeling lighter and more grounded.
I would highly recommend Natalie to anyone looking for a thoughtful and holistic approach to improving their health.
