  • Client testimonials...

    • I can't begin to describe changes I have made in only three months of working with Claudia, my energy levels have improved massively, my bloating has disappeared, I have lost almost 5kg but the main and most important thing is I now have a 30 day cycle which I have never had due to PCOS & Endometriosis. Working with Claudia has been life changing for me and I feel now very confident to start trying for a pregnancy again, thanks Claudia, can't thank you enough really!

    • I felt informed, empowered and supported from the first consultation. Absolutely blown away by the knowledge and care of Claudia and her program. I cannot express how valuable this was for me. Claudia stayed with me from conception after miscarriage to the end of my pregnancy. I say if there’s something you can go without to enable you to do this program then do it! It’s actually priceless. I feel ready for a nourished  motherhood journey. Thank you I am so grateful.

Claudia you truly are a god-send to anyone struggling with fertility. THANK YOU!

    • Just wanted to update you, we're currently 7/8 weeks pregnant. Obviously very excited and just wanted to say thank you for your help before hand and giving me the confidence in my diet to ensure we were on the right track. Thank you again so much.

      Sarah

    • I thought I knew enough about ‘good nutrition’ and preparing for conception, but after my first consultation with Claudia understood the absolute importance of working with an expert. It was an invaluable experience that far exceeded my expectations.

    • Firstly I want to thank you sooooo much for your help, persistence and positivity. You really helped break down a weight loss barrier which I had been struggling with during my fertility IVF journey. I want to say a huge thank you! Because with your help I was able to drop the weight and start a new round of IVF. 😊

      This has been successful and I am now 9 weeks pregnant!

    • I just wanted to reach out and say a sincere thank you for your help. My aim in seeing you was to cut through all the noise out there and find a way of eating tailored to me. You did that and more! I really appreciated your communication style; and the meal plan and supporting info you provided were great. I know I will feel confident going ahead with another pregnancy.
