India's Story


I've always absolutely loved food and it brings be so much joy, but seemingly out of nowhere and getting worse over the span of 2 years, I started to get severe brain fog, confusion, extreme cramps, anxiety coming from my stomach, painful diarrhoea that would bring me to tears and mood swings. I tried going to the gp about it but they didn't take it seriously. It was severly impacting my relationships, job and quality of life and I couldn't enjoy food at all and I couldn't even form coherent sentences together and I was seriously scared and concerned. 
Ayeshea literally saved my life. She asked me about my diet and lifestyle (which is actually healthy), and gave me a tailored regime to follow that cut out gluten and dairy and other ingredients that could be contributing, as well as alternatives and natural remedies to heal my gut. She supported me through the whole journey and adapted as needed. I started to see significant progress and started to get my life back. I am now fully back to normal, and continue to stick to my regime although I can implement things back when I choose. She is truly incredible and I don't know what I would've done without her. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart🙏🏼🥹💕

Roberta's Story


"After many years of suffering from urticaria, I was beginning to go out of my mind. I went to the doctor and was given pills to stop the itching and redness, when an attack came. i was told that there is no cure for it and that it may go away by itself in time. That wasn't very helpful for me, because the attacks seemed to be random and got worse when I went outside, or got hot. A colleague told me about how Ayeshea had helped her, so I got in touch and had a free consultation with her. All I can say is wow. She sorted my diet out and made me see that it was not only my food that was causing the attacks, but also stress. I have had to cut out nearly all the things that I like, but she has helped me to find tasty, healthier alternatives which if i'm honest, I wouldn't have thought of.  It's been nearly 2 months since an attack and no more itchy swelling either. I can also stay outside for extended periods now too. Her suggested mindfulness has also helped with my stress levels. I can hear her now "stop...and put it into perspective."  I do now and it helps. Thanks, you are my saviour. I owe you.

Isabel's Story


"For years, I suffered with Poly cystic ovary syndrome and found it very difficult to lose and maintain my weight. It was even more difficult to find the motivation to keep looking for solutions that worked. It was my good fortune, that I know Ayeshea, and mentioned it to her one day.  She completely overhauled my diet and assessed the medication that I was taking.  She gave me an easy plan to follow and was always on hand to answer my questions. I was emailing her pretty much all the time and she always gave me positive answers. i buy more fruit and vegetables and have managed to cut out the things that were aggravating my condition. As a result, I feel much better and am not in as much discomfort, although I do cheat sometimes, which is my own fault. It feels good having a friend ,who knows so much about our bodies and how nature can heal us, if we listen. My life has changed and so has my relationship with food. Thank you Ayeshea. 

Ally's Story


"For years, my wife and I have struggled with our weight and I didn't want this to impact our children. I asked Ayeshea for advice and she offered to conduct a "Fridge Raider" session at our home. It was fantastic and only when you hear the impact of your choices, read out to you, does it really sink in. It took a while, but our fridge is now glowing with fruit and vegetables. We have been shown how to create our own juices, that will reduce our sugar and fat cravings and better still, I do not feel the need to purchase foods, just because we like the taste, when I know that they are negatively impacting our family. Needless to say, the children are looking healthier and I have their weight under control now. They have both lost over 1 stone and are now more confident at school.  As for myself, I have lost 4 stones and feel amazing.  Thank you Ayeshea. You have a client and a friend for life."

Dionne's Story


"I started getting pains in my stomach and was getting very painful joints and headaches. I spoke to Ayeshea about it and she suggested that I write down when it started and all the things that I was eating and drinking.  I did as she suggested and was completely stunned by the results.  It turned out that my aches, joint pain and headaches were because of my overuse of diet and fizzy drinks. Thank you for helping me go from 3-4 litres a day, to maybe now 1 litre a week. I am trying to cut it out completely and I have also lost nearly 2 stones in weight, putting me back to a healthy weight. I really do feel like a new person nowadays. I intend to keep it up."

Chrissy's Story


"I have never really had much willpower to stick to things, but the programme you created for me. actually made me want to stick to it. I would say that the first two weeks were hard, but once I cut out the sugar and started walking everywhere, I gained so much energy, that I just dived into the programme. I am now 2 stones lighter and feeling renewed. So far, I have managed to make your programme part of my life and don't really feel like eating the things I used to. It's been about 5 months now and I feel great. At this point, it doesn't feel like I'm doing much, but friends and family have noticed and commented on how I look and how much happier I am.
Thank you so much for keeping me on track with your emails and allowing me to bug you all the time."

Haida's Story


"Before submitting my food diary to you and having you analyse it, I was totally unaware or how much sugar and coke I was drinking. When you see it written down, it has a different effect on you. I have totally cut down my coke intake and now only have the occasional one. doing this has given me my taste buds back and everything else seems too sweet now, so I have managed to cut out lots of other things that my new taste buds don't like. Thank you for helping me to be a better me."
