What people say..

... feedback from some of my clients:

I went to see Sophie Paulding last year with menopausal symptoms, particularly frequent flushes and sweats, difficulty sleeping and also depression. She made a very sensitive analysis of my health and diet, and carefully prepared a herbal tincture and infusion for me. She also gave me some suggestions for including different foods in my diet. Soon afterwards I found my flushes diminished considerably and I was sleeping a lot more easily. Over the last months Sophie has adapted the herbs I take according to how I am feeling, and always listens to any changes I might be experiencing. I am very pleased to say that I now find I am taking less of the herbs and that my symptoms have all but disappeared. I no longer get irritating flushes and sleep well. My depression has lifted and I am thinking a lot more positively. I would recommend Sophie very highly and am extremely grateful for her care and attention.

I came to see Sophie with menopausal problems. Within few times Sophie came to find a balance in my hormonal system which helped a lot to deal with the problems I experienced. Later there were some other things going on and what helped a lot was the holistic treatment of these health problems. Herbal medicine, diet, mental exercises. Sophie brought them together which was very helpful and stimulating.I felt a lot of respect and love in the way Sophie treated me and there was always lots of time if this was necessary. Jeanette

"After putting up with cranky digestion and an increasingly short temper for many months, I finally came to Sophie to see if anything could be done about it using herbs. I found her approach beautifully wholistic, taking into account my emotional state as much as my physiological symptoms, observing the condition of my tongue, eyes and even hands. She prescribed tinctures which seemed to have an immediate grounding and soothing effect, as well as a tea mix that not only tasted lovely (a nice surprise as I had anticipated having to hold my nose) but also proved wonderfully calming to my frayed nerves. Sophie also gave me practical lifestyle advice and a recipe for Rejuvelac which had been a great accompaniment to the herbal medicines given." M.W.

"I have been a patient of Sophie's for the past month and a half, went with a beginning of depression, quite acute and did not want to take antidepressants.  So i was prescribed a big bottle of herbal cure and after about 10 days i began to feel much better, all symptoms are gone, the anxiety, the palpitations, the sadness and the medicine is finished.  I highly reccomend Sophie and her herbal treatments. She proved to be professional, highly reliable, attentive and providing quick and successful results. Thank you!"

"After telling Sophie about how I had been experiencing the changes at menopause she gave me a bottle of Black Cohosh tincture. I felt the benefit within three days of starting the treatment and now i just use it as and when necessary." Anon.

"Preparation is key to a good birth. Sophie's "Prepare to Pop" mixture is amazing; I had strong, steady contractions during my labour and an uncomplicated birth. My midwife was amazed at how quickly my uterus contracted back into my pelvis. Raspberry leaf tea is great but you need to take alot and for a long time whereas these tinctures are quick, easy and effective." Ruth (mother of beautiful Gloria!)
