Naturopathy

Charlie Camilleri had suffered for much of her adult life with crippling migraines.

Charlie, 52, a self-employed artist, had her first migraine in her early twenties. She said “They were affecting my life badly. I was having two or three attacks a month which might debilitate me for two or three days at a time. I had tried just about everything … Then somebody recommended Caroline.”

“I had a combination of treatments originally – I had acupuncture and herbal treatments and also looked at my diet. I had no wheat and dairy and that helped. It was the combination of treatments that worked and some lifestyle changes.”

Charlie still has acupuncture ‘top-ups’ every six weeks and takes herbs daily but now believes the attacks are behind her.

“Gradually over several months things seemed to improve. Now I don’t think about it. I honestly can’t remember the last time I had a migraine.”

Carey Dunne from Teddington had a two-week-old baby, Jed, who was suffering from very severe reflux and losing weight. When they took him to hospital the doctors recommended a programme of drugs which he would probably have been on until he started walking. Carey, who runs her own business about health management, said: “We were absolutely horrified, we have gone down the natural route for years – we always get medical opinion and then decide what we are going to do.”

“Literally getting no sleep as Jed could not settle, there was a repetitive cycle of feeding, sickness and then crying. We went to Caroline and from our first appointment we had great support. She rang me at least once a day in between visits firstly to check on Jed and just as importantly to give us the moral support and strength we needed. We found Caroline was a godsend. We now never go to anybody else for anything.”
