Happy Clients

I’ve had severe rheumatoid arthritis for 30 years. Terrible stiffness and sharp pain was my daily grind. I have had multiple surgeries and was on lots of long-term potent drugs. I couldn’t even get out of bed without strong drugs every day.

I first contacted Mary during a long COVID lockdown. The stresses associated with COVID that included limited ability to work, vaccination fear and other daily restrictions had led to a long-term relationship breakdown for me and I was in a bad place. My chronic asthma had also become worse.

I was one of the earlier ones to get the Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine in Australia.  It was needed because of my work and I was not concerned about it as I’d had several other vaccines as needed for work. I have been quite healthy all my life, active, loved… Read more “Covid Vaccine reaction”

Mary gave me so much more than the answers I needed about rosacea. She is so knowledgeable and has a forensic understanding about health and nutrition. I came to her with a chronic skin condition for which I had seen many people over the years.  Mary worked on getting me… Read more “Rosacea”

When I met Ron, he was thin, tired and suffering from autoimmune hyperthyroidism, or Grave’s disease.  He was highly medicated and had heart palpitations. Overactive thyroid is a disease that rarely responds to dietary change unless the patient shows great commitment at every point of the diet. Ron made a… Read more “Grave’s Disease”

Before I came to see Mary, my endocrinologist had said I had to have my thyroid treated with radioactive iodine as there were so many thyroid nodules which appeared to be showing ominous signs of possibly turning cancerous.  I was suffering from many signs of overactive thyroid, with heart palpitations… Read more “Thyroid nodules”

Janet (name changed for privacy), aged 60, had suffered from depression for 31 years when she came to see me. Prior to that, she had suffered from social anxiety. Janet had been on a high dose of Pristiq for three decades. Pristiq is one of drugs commonly used for treating major depressive disorder.… Read more “Long term Depression”

When I brought my daughter to see Mary, her skin was losing its pigment in great patches. It looked like vitiligo. It was also very itchy. I had her on a gluten-free and dairy-free diet which seemed to be making it a little less itchy. She was also using No… Read more “Vitiligo”

Just over six months ago, my husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.  It was progressing fast and we were noticing discouraging changes every week. I came across a book by Dr Dale Bredesen which described some benefits he had found with Alzheimer’s patients with altering their diets and lifestyle quite… Read more “Alzheimer’s Disease”

Six weeks ago Coles stopped delivering groceries to most homes because of COVID-19 lockdowns.  On the last day I delivered groceries to Mary, we talked about the Coronavirus that was in the early stages in Australia. Mary told me I could improve my immunity and lower my risk of ending… Read more “More energy fast, better skin”

Our 11 year old son had suffered with repeated respiratory infections, pneumonia, lethargy, regular upset stomachs, dizziness, eczema, allergies, sinus pain and aching joints from infancy. He had missed so much school.  We had him on vitamins and herbs for each one of his conditions and he just was not… Read more “Chronically ill child”

I went on a supposed health journey by going on the high protein diet that is so popular. While on it, I suffered depression, amenorrhea, high cholesterol and insomnia. I was worried about eating too many carbs, so ate an awful lot of protein. I remembered the prescription for health… Read more “Health improves rapidly on healthy diet”

With both adrenal glands inflamed and internal bleeding from the ruptured left gland, I was facing their removal with subsequent hormone replacement for the rest of my life.  Mary gave me a complete dietary overhaul and my adrenal glands mended themselves. Now, six years later I am still well, on… Read more “Adrenal Hyperplasia”

When I came to see Mary, my knee and ankle arthritis was so bad I was wearing a support bandage all the time.  I could barely work in my active job, and I had had a CT scan in preparation for a knee replacement. My diet was quite good, but… Read more “Knee osteo-arthritis”

I had suffered from ongoing digestive issues from childhood, along with high blood pressure as a teen.  For the last decade I had experienced severe stress from relationship problems, which led to anxiety like I’d never experienced before.  I started developing the symptoms of a heart arrhythmia – atrial fibrillation,… Read more “Anxiety, Digestion problems”

Towards the end of last year, we saw our paediatrician for one of our sons because of the disruptive symptoms of ADHD he was showing.  The paediatrician said our son was a typical hyperactive-type ADHD and brought in some students to show how to diagnose ADHD since our son showed… Read more “ADHD & ADD”

I was very overweight when I went to see Mary – more than 20kg overweight.  I’d always been overweight and I now had occasional chest pain, high blood pressure, above normal cholesterol, dizziness, low energy and wore a back brace to protect my bad back.  Being a truck driver, I found… Read more “Obesity, chest pain, bad back”

I went to see Mary after my osteopath referred me to her.  I’d been having awful headaches for some time, and more in the last year.  They were lasting half the day and affecting my life a lot.  My husband said I took Panadol like lollies – all the time. They had got… Read more “Migraines”

After I was hospitalised for constant daily painful headaches and migraines, I discovered I had incredibly high blood pressure: 240/140.  No doubt I had had this problem for many years and never known about it.  This is why high blood pressure is called “the silent killer”.  I am just glad… Read more “High Blood Pressure – 240/140”

My mother took me to see Mary because I had lots of warts on my hand. I’d tried to remove them but they were only growing and it was embarrassing at school.  I already ate pretty healthy so Mary only made some small changes there.  She said I was not… Read more “Multiple Warts”

I had suffered from several migraines a month for several decades before I saw Mary. They mostly lasted for a few days and took me off work and I had needed prescription medication to cope with them. Mary first helped me get onto a healthy diet with a lot more… Read more “Migraines”

I went to see Mary with alarmingly elevated liver enzymes and high cholesterol. My doctor was concerned and doing many worrying tests to discover what was causing this massive rise in inflammatory markers.   Being in my 60s, many causes were possible. The radiologist’s report suggested my cholesterol medication could be… Read more “High inflammation & high cholesterol”

When I first came to see Mary nearly two years ago, I was exhausted from several serious bouts of pneumonia which had become normal for my recent Winters.  I had been on Nexium for reflux for many decades and was on cholesterol-lowering medication too.  My doctor was also concerned about… Read more “Reflux, Pneumonia, Colon polyps”
