Fiona was able to put me back together after a breakdown and help me reshuffle my life. I would highly recommend and go back to her again

Report
I have to thank Fiona for helping me personally following a minor head injury when I slipped on a rock on holiday. I suffered with anxiety attacks, unusual and sudden symptoms such as spasms and flashbacks of the event making me feel fearful of rocks. After a course of treatment with Fiona and some acupuncture and oestopathy treatment the symptoms went and I lost the anxiety symptoms completely.
