Patient Testimonial: IBS, Reflux, Anxiety & PTSD

“I heard Jonny on Radio Sheffield some time ago but I noted his name - his attitude and approach made an impression on me and I felt that he was someone I could work with if and when the time was right.

I have suffered from anxiety for well over 40 years and as a result have various physical symptoms such as high blood pressure, reflux acid and IBS.

The IBS was particularly getting me down when I approached Jonny about 6 months ago. The way it manifested itself had changed and I was beginning to think I was destined to face a degree of incontinence while only in my mid 60`s which was a depressing prospect - it upset me greatly and of course added to my anxiety.

My reflux was also not under control at this time and in desperation I rang Jonny.

He listened to what I had to say and sent me slippery elm for my stomach acid, a tincture and a herbal tea.

Things started to improve, my reflux became more controlled and I found I could reduce my GP prescribed medication, I began to feel less anxious and also stopped taking a mild beta blocker.

There was still room for some improvement though and Jonny "tweaked" the tea and the tincture. My symptoms got even better, but over the months, Jonny has also crucially listened to my story and suggested to me that my anxiety might possibly be PTSD (which is another story).

These feelings are of course the root of the physical symptoms and he recommended a book for me to read on the subject. I cannot thank Jonny enough for his insightful thoughts, his counsel and wisdom - a truly holistic way of viewing health. His input has prompted me to explore this new idea; that for all these years my feelings have not been driven by some fault in me but by circumstances and events that have left scars.

For the foreseeable future I will be taking the herbs that Jonny has recommended. My distressing IBS symptoms have almost disappeared and in general my reflux is now very controlled. The high blood pressure is a work in progress but not helped by my challenging job......... My life and health are certainly getting better and that wouldn't be the case without Jonny and the herbs he has given me.

I am also now working with a therapist to tackle any PTSD that I am suffering.

Another big thank you Jonny, for listening, for your expertise and for pointing me in a direction that I would never have found on my own.”

This patient completed my 3 month Pattern Transformation package.

At the start of treatment this patient filled in my symptom questionnaire sheet. This asks patient’s to score their symptoms from 0-10 in terms of how debilitating they feel.

The patient scored 58 at the start of the program. Dropping to 41 at the end of the program. A decrease of 29.3%.

This patient was facing debilitating bouts of gut problems that were seriously impacting their life. The treatment program went through an initial case history that outlined various events in the patient’s life that had potentially left a psychological imprint within how the nervous system governs function of the organs. The appropriate herbs and recommendations offered began to work and the patient started to question these past events and eventually used them as a source of material to discuss during our appointments. They also decided to work with a PTSD therapist who could offer supportive sessions alongside our 1 to 1 work. Digestive function has significantly improved since starting herbal treatment.

Patient Testimonial: Hormones, Low Mood and Anxiety

“I have been on an incredible journey with Jonny over the past few months, one that was totally unexpected and I'm so grateful that I have had it. After initially contacting Jonny for some tinctures to support my health I found myself booked on a 3 month herbal medicine journey. What I quickly learned on my initial call was that Jonny works not only with the physical body but he can so cleverly and intuitively work with the energies and emotions I was experiencing in my life at that time. It was amazing to know that he did this work on such a deep level and after my first week of my first medicine such positive changes started to happen. The medicine worked so beautifully with my journey supporting my transformation and has done still to this day, symptoms I was experiencing have gone, and I feel like a new woman.

I’ve loved every call, being able to open up more and more each time allowing Jonny to really create unique medicines for me as my world changed though it the three months. Having the medicine has become a part of my daily routine and the simple act of taking it makes you feel good knowing the power it holds! This is something I’ll come back to for as long as I need! Thank you Jonny”

This patient completed my 3 month Pattern Transformation package.

At the start of treatment this patient filled in my symptom questionnaire sheet. This asks patient’s to score their symptoms from 0-10 in terms of how debilitating they feel.

The patient scored 52 at the start of the program. Dropping to 12 at the end of the program. A decrease of 67.3%.

Verity initially contacted asking if she could buy herbs direct from me for specific physical problems. Whilst this is part of my business I also suspected that she would not receive the full benefit of healing without going deep into what needed to be spoken. My programs give me time to ask questions so that I could formulate a unique combination of herbs to help with chronic health issues that seemed to be not responding to other things she was trying. This approach led to much greater results (as seen in the symptom questionnaire analysis) and Verity was pleased with how things progressed.

Patient Testimonial: Chronic constipation

”A friend referred me to Jonny when my 2yr old was suffering with chronic constipation.

We were using over the counter laxatives and had reviewed her diet but the main thing stopping her from going was fear. The whole situation was impacting our entire home life with us spending hours trying to reason with a 2yr old to get her to poo.

Jonny was fantastic, really understanding and very thorough making sure he got all the information during our telephone consultation. Based on what I’d told him, Jonny recommended a tincture to relax my daughter and get her over the fear to enable her to stop withholding.

The results of the tincture were noticeable after a few days and it has really helped my daughter get over her fear. I would recommend Jonny to any parents who are at their wits end with this sort of issue.”

Patient Testimonial: Stress, Depression, Menopause, Inflammation, Joint Pain, Anxiety, Memory Problems & Fatigue

“Having reached a point in my life where I was merely existing as one ball of inflammation and stress, with both my physical and mental health struggling to the point of not being able to get the basics done let alone any other kind of life, and having tried the modern medicine route to always come back to the same point, looking at Jonny’s website felt like the light at the end of the tunnel, and that was before I even contacted him to see whether he would work with me to try and fix myself. Luckily for me, after our initial interview, that light felt a lot nearer when Jonny said he was happy to work with me towards my recovery.

During those first weeks of treatment, Jonny prescribed a herbal prescription which made a huge difference to my physical health, but he also opened my eyes to the way I had been living my life up until then, and how my lifestyle was having a very negative effect on my physical and mental health. The whole process opened my eyes to what habits etc were not serving me, recommended tools and suggested possible new habits that I could use to improve my lifestyle, but mostly he made me aware that I needed to take stock of my life, change my habits forever and committing to constantly improving my way of life would be the only way of ensuring that I never go back to how I was. He suggested a “sleepy tea” that I could use when my middle-of-the-night-brain wouldn’t let me go back to sleep, as well as a “lung tea” that helps with my chronic respiratory issues. As the weeks passed, Jonny tweaked my prescription as various physical and mental elements changed with the treatment. Even though I was aware that herbs could help with different medical issues and had done so for centuries, I am now in awe of how powerful herbs are.

I know I still have work to do on myself, looking back to where I was 6 months ago I feel like I am well on my way. My close family are amazed at the “new” me and how much of a changed person I have become over the past few months. The inflammation has disappeared, my gut has improved significantly and so has my skin problems. I’m glad that I decided to invest in my own health in this way as it has been worth every penny. I now look at Jonny as my first point of contact when it comes to anything to do with my physical and mental health – he is a very educated and learned person, who has reached where he is today whilst fixing himself, and that gives me confidence in his advice and guidance.

I am grateful to Jonny for what he has done for me and I am grateful to myself for having the courage to reach out for his help, and for making myself a priority. Thank you Jonny – I hope you know how grateful I am to you for giving me back my life. Diolch”

The patient scored 88 at the start of the program. Dropping to 10 at the end of the program. A decrease of 88.6%.

Megan was severely exhausted, depressed, anxious and stressed. Her body was suffering inflammatory joint pains and her digestion was completely off balance. Our focus on treatment was not only providing herbs that calmed her stress response but giving her the tools and awareness as to how her life had become chaotic. Many of our calls included conversations about the behavioural dynamics of her life and how to properly untangle them so that she could live a more authentic way with far more balanced human interactions.

Patient Testimonial: Fibromyalgia, Fatigue, IBS and PTSD

“When I started my journey with Jonny I was bed bound with widespread body pain from Fibromyalgia. I couldn't digest any food without experiencing severe IBS, and my mental health was wrecked by PTSD. It had been going on for many years, and to be honest I was doubtful as to how much healing could be achieved with just herbs and coaching.

But within a month my IBS was gone, and my other symptoms were manageable enough that I was out and about travelling which I love doing and missed so much.

Jonny really took time to investigate the root cause of my health problem, which in my case was nervous system dysregulation. He made herbal remedies bespoke to my situation to help my body break viccious cycles that I had been stuck in for years.

His regular coaching sessions also proved invaluable to help me navigate the changes in my body and develop healthy strategies in my life to support my healing process.

I am still on my healing journey but the improvements are just miraculous, I am so grateful for it all and highly recommend Jonny's 3 months programs, it was so worth it.”

This patient was truly sick of being sick. Spending many hours bed bound with fatigue, pain and loneliness. Our first consultation covered a lot of the patient'‘s childhood experiences and analysis of current day emotional triggers and fears which were continuously wreaking havoc on their nervous system.

The herbs worked subtlety at first, facilitating small changes that eventually culminated into noticeable positive improvements to quality of life as time passed.

Patient Testimonial: Panic Attacks, Trauma, Stress and Gut Disturbance

“I connected with Jonny after spending over a year with debilitating panic attacks, high anxiety and endless ailments that included skin issues and digestive problems. After taking antibiotics during a time where I struggled with a major relationship ending, all hell seemed to break loose in my body. I was googling fixes hours on end, day after day. Finally I came across Jonny and his journey. Here was someone who knew what he was talking about and had his own life experiences. He understood what I was going through. He took time to understand my situation, so he could concoct not only his magical elixir, but to help me mentally as well with tools to improve my mental well being. Without Jonny I’d still be searching google endlessly looking for that supplement or magic pill that would fix what was ruining my life. Jonny is a life saver.”

Josh contacted me after reading a blog post about how I had been in a similar health situation many years ago. We agreed to move through a monthly treatment program, whilst figuring out the complexities and time involved with posting medicine to west Canada. We have so far made it through approximately 4 months of treatment with Josh noticing major differences not only in his physiological health but more importantly, his mind. Josh now feels more resilient and better equipped to face difficult like events and is always enquiring in our calls about how he can achieve even greater states of health. We have many more months of powerful work together.

Patient Testimonial: Postnatal Depression, Fatigue & Stress

“I first contacted Jonny after being diagnosed with postnatal depression. My GP had prescribed antidepressants and I wanted to explore other more natural options before going down this route and I’m so glad I did. We had an exploratory discussion and I felt immediately that we had a connection and that Jonny was someone I could work with and open up to.

It’s been a really transformational process for me. Jonny was very good at getting to the bottom of why I felt how I felt and about all the different factors at play. Jonny asked questions about my life, my experiences, relationships, physical and emotional symptoms and was interested in me holistically. As I was talking in our sessions I began to connect dots with his guidance to really understand myself, my patterns and things that had never occurred to me before. I’d had a previous trauma and Jonny helped me realise I’d built lots of coping mechanisms that had worked ok for me in the past, but weren’t working for me now. This was leading to me feeling like I couldn't cope, hyper vigilance, over worrying, inability to feel negative emotions, masking how I was feeling to everyone around me, exhaustion and sleep issues.

The herbs Jonny prescribed worked like magic and helped with my depression but also helped me get to a place mentally where I felt strong enough to face what was going on and my past trauma. Something I’d never been able to do before.

He has a very calm and patient style and builds rapport and trust quickly and easily. I didn’t ever feel judged or like I needed to hold anything back. It was a very freeing experience. Jonny is very knowledgeable about women’s cycles, hormones, how trauma can affect a person, what different symptoms mean and what herbs to prescribe to help with all of this. He also recommended a few books/websites to look at in between sessions which was great as I didn’t know where to start.

I’d recommend Jonny to anyone to help with physical health, mental health or wellbeing. It was definitely money very well spent and I’ll be forever grateful that I’m now in the place I am. I feel able to use what I learnt to help myself in future. I wasn’t sure if I’d get here or feel like my normal self again but I absolutely do, and feel like a better version because I understand myself so much better.

So thank you Jonny, I'm very grateful for your help and the work that you do.”

This patient was looking for help with depression, exhaustion, worry, sleep issues and a number of other symptoms. Through the consultation process we managed to connect past experiences with the present day list of symptoms. Identifying patterns between the mind and body, past and present, we used herbal medicine and a holistic approach to help the patient transcend out of illness into a state of health that has been a fantastic success story.

Patient Testimonial: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

“Living with Complex PTSD, I thought was a way of life. I've always known I am more than managing symptoms, avoiding triggers etc but knowing isn't always enough to change behaviour. I've been on a personal quest for inner peace for 15 years. This has lead me into every type of personal therapy (e.g. person centred therapy, CBT, EMDR, hypnosis, psychotherapy). I am a therapist myself and study psychology. My knowledge has enabled an identity which has given me relief from suicidal thoughts, difficult patterns of relating (abusive relationships) and obsessions (eating disorder, drugs, alcohol, body dismorphia). I've felt a lot better to overcome these struggles. However, I still needed to feel safe, avoid certain things and live a structured life. I lacked self expression and creativity most the time.

I heard herbal medicine with Jonny could help with my overarching need for safety. My physical health is good so the idea of seeing Jonny to give me a tincture for Complex PTSD- essentially my thoughts and brain structure felt counterintuitive. Especially, as I have never opted for pharmaceuticals within my recovery. When booking Jonny, I was at a place in life where to try, felt safe enough as I had already tried so many methods with some success. Herbal medicine as a natural product was still within my recovery values too. I was so tired of my way of being but wasn't sure if I would experience a huge shift within my ingrained thought patterns.

Jonny was surprisingly therapeutic in his knowledge for me. I come from a lot of therapeutic training. His way of explaining things that didn't feel related to herbs (e.g. my way of thinking, my past) was exciting. I opened up to the deep, shameful parts of me and he held the space like a good therapist does, with all the boundaries, compassion and empathy I needed. He got me and could see my vision for the life I wanted. He wasn't put off by my therapeutic knowledge and welcomed my questioning of method etc. He understood it was my safety, he is clearly passionate and confident about his work, therefore happy to chat and remain open. I needed to ensure he was ethical! 

The adventure of herbs meant I needed to go inwards - into the self, cut ties with friends and family, change my work/life balance. My attachment to myself and others positively changed as a result. I have now invested more time in understanding my body, releasing trauma that way, getting out of my head; into my feelings, intuition and just being. The changes came naturally. 

The first month I cleaned my cupboards (literally) and started organising my life. The second, I started exploring relationships and grief came up. There has been lots of tears and growing pains over the five months I've worked with Jonny. I now have a cleaner life and do a lot of yoga. This is me, authenticatically me. Herbs haven't helped me to be a version of myself I wish I was or an ego identity. They have helped me accept myself exactly as I am; within this acceptance I have freed up mental space to just be. I sing and write poetry. I've gotten more creative in my work and balance my intuition with theory. Herbs haven't changed my passion to use education as a catalyst for action. My intuition has grown but I need education within client work - herbal medicine is now a solid psychologically informed, tried and tested method to me. 

I have come to the end of my official herbal journey for now - I'll be back when/if needed. As I leave my time with Jonny, I can reflect on why I came to see him. I no longer feel alone, scared of the external world - my safety is within me now. How did I get here? I guess it's ok not to quite know as within talking therapy, if you feel better that's exactly that. I feel very chilled now. I fully recommend anyone who really wants to transform deep trauma wounds start their herbal medicine journey. I can only vouch for Jonny in my recommendation as herbs is a new world to me. Thankfully, I don't need another herbalist as I've got a life to be getting on with. Thank you Jonny!”

Jen was a qualified therapist and had spent many years devoting herself to self-development, healing and integrative talking therapies. We spoke about her insights and knowledge of her situation, health and psychology. Developing a herbal medicine protocol and plan to further progress her mind, body and health.

Jen responded well to the herbs and recognised the contribution that herbal medicine has made to her life and her career in helping others.

Patient Testimonial: Fatigue, Poor Focus and Concentration

“What I really love about Jonny is the level of passion and enthusiasm that goes into the work he does. A premium service for a modest and affordable price.

Anyone can accumulate knowledge, but it takes real skill and talent to use and apply it in a way that helps other people and makes a lasting positive impact.

He is highly responsive to feedback and always looking to ensure the best experience. Delivery of tinctures and herbs is timely and goods are well packaged.

For me, the effects of the medicine were subtle at first. Rather than being a "quick fix", it took a little time to build up some momentum. A few months later, it is very clear that there have been significant improvements.

It does require that you look at and make changes to your lifestyle where necessary in order to support the process, and as such Jonny will explore with you what it is that might need adjusting.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Jonny to anyone that is looking for real change and not just a temporary solution / management of symptoms.”

Joe Million (UK)

Joe consulted with me for help with post-meal fatigue and suspected blood sugar imbalances. We analysed his history, specifically the last few years, to find the reasons as to why his body was stuck in a certain pattern.

After creating theories for the root cause I prescribed Joe a unique formulation of herbs that have not only increased his energy profile, but helped improve much needed focus and concentration for his busy work schedule and business.

Patient Testimonial: Acne, Addiction, Depression and Anxiety

“It is with deeply felt gratitude that I am writing about my herbal journey and the healing that Jonny has brought into my life.

As I started, I lacked a sense of self and my connection with my masculine energies. Moreover, I lacked clear boundaries in general.

The symptoms were a truly messed up biome in my guts which lead to more mental and physical issues.

On the one hand, I had terrible acne, which reminded me of the wounds and inflammations which not yet have healed.

On the other hand, I was displaying a lot of spiritually incontinent behaviour such as eating lots of sugary food and having lots of casual sex.

Having no orientation but the certainty that my life had to change in some way, I lived in constant fear.

The process: The first appointment that I had with Jonny seemed very similar to the experience which I had with my former therapists. 

As a result, I was a little sceptical since a lot of issues I still had not been able to resolve yet through psychoanalytical and behavioural therapy which I already had made at that point.

So I got my first tincture a few days later, and I was no longer allowed to have caffeine after the morning.

My old way of life came to an end and there now was a big free space which I needed to integrate into my new life.

Through all of this, Jonny provided me with sound advice and new and healthy modes of being and coping mechanisms.

My fear transformed into anger, and I finally got the energy required to end my life in the comfort zone and entering the new and fruitful territory.

I joined a men's group and thus felt a sense of belonging and started to not only help myself but also helping others and became an active member of society.

Also my skin not just looked better, but it became less and less itchy, and I started to like the man I saw in the mirror.

Especially in such times of profound changes, we need a pure and strong basis upon which we can build our lives.

Jonny has helped me to do exactly that.

I assure you that he is worth every penny you will spend on him because:

• He is committed to his work.

• He is honest with his patients.

• He is genuinely open-minded and wants to get a better understanding of his patients.

• He delivers his work on time.

• He keeps all his promises.

• He wants to see his patients flourish.

• He is understanding of his clients' issues and challenges.

• He is joyful when he sees his patients succeed in life.

So if you are still struggling with issues, you have not been able to cope with get your free trial on his website and get a taste of what your life could be!”

Paul (Germany)

Paul was referred to me by a previous patient who recommended he work with me. We connected over Skype and Paul decided he wanted to commit to my program. We went through an analysis of his physical and psychological symptoms, trying to understand how his past history and current situation are all connected.

Alongside the herbal support Paul was open to engaging in numerous activities, challenges or tasks to help nudge him into a more authentic, vulnerable and ultimately integrated place. I witnessed the transformation from start to finish as he became healthier, fitter, stronger and ore aligned with a greater purpose in life.

Paul, you are a courageous man and I wish you well on your path.

Patient Testimonial: Chronic fatigue, depression, migraines and menopausal mood swings

“OMG! What a guy! When I had my first consultation with Jonny 4 months ago, I was sick and tired of being sick and tired! I was depressed, sleeping 18-20 hours per day, hardly left the house, suffered with migraines 2 to 3 times per week, had no energy, suffered terribly with menopausal mood swings, had no confidence and was feeling incredibly low! I didn’t believe him when he said he could help me, after all, the medical system could barely keep my symptoms under control! I’d almost given up! Jonny put me on a gentle but firm herbal medicine, fast forward to today, I’ve started my own business, stood as a prospective parliamentary candidate and work out with a PT 2 to 3 times a week! Is he cheap? You might ask. Well that depends on your perspective! What price is your health worth to you? What do you spend on that Starbucks you just gotta have each day? His medicine and consultations works out at less than £5 per day. Is my health worth that to me? Totally! Jonny, I can’t recommend you highly enough and I’ll happily use your medicine for the rest of my life!!”

Sarah (UK)

Sarah had been visiting her doctor on and off for some time. Struggling to find answers for a long list of symptoms following the start of the menopause. Her chronic fatigue, low mood and energy was disabling. Leaving her with very little time in the day to do anything.

We began our consultation by taking a very thorough and detailed history of her past and present. The herbs quickly got to work as her weekly migraines stopped, followed shortly after by an increase in energy and mood. Needing far less sleep. This has eventually culminated in her coming off her migraine pills and anti-depressants. More recently her body is now creating enough energy that she is able to go back to the gym.

Sarah is proof that herbs can work at any point in life with dramatic effects. Well done Sarah. It has been really rewarding to see you gain your life back.

Patient Testimonial: Severe depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder and fatigue

“When I first came to Jonny for treatment I had quite severe depression and really unpredictable energy levels. I had lost all confidence from having such a low mood and my business had taken the brunt of me never being able to find enough energy to carry out the work that needed to be done. I was also battling with PTSD from a couple of past experiences, amongst which included grief. All in all I wasn't in a good way and I couldn't imagine how vastly the treatment I received would change my life for the better. I still don't to this day even really understand how it worked and am still finding small clues that I am continuing on an upward trajectory months after the treatment has ended. It really has been quite magical.

It has taken me quite a long time to write my testimonial as I have found it hard to put into words the amazing care that Jonny puts into his work and also how grateful I am for his ongoing support. I have gone from being totally lost in the dark to having a warm, bright light shine into all areas of my life that has come from all the plants along the journey.

It took a little while of calming my body down out of its highly stressed state and then slowly the treatments evolved into giving me physical strength and confidence to carry on. Each month a different collection of plants to cater to the changing landscape. I have now managed to move out of depression and I no longer suffer from PTSD. And as for my energy levels, well I have managed to set up my business to be more functional, creative and abundant than ever before!

Alongside the monthly therapy I had with Jonny I also went to a weekly counsellor to talk through everything that was coming up through the process of healing. I would highly reccomend doing this as it meant I was constantly healing each emotion and pattern, confronting it all head on. Jonny is a very good person to talk to; he is warm, open and understanding of even the smallest experiences you might feel you need to talk about. He really understands how to work with the herbs in a unique way for each person, to bring you out of your shell and direct you on a path that brings you into alignment with yourself.”

Anonymous

This patient came into clinic suffering with an array of mental health problems that were causing them to suffer. Deep wounds of the past were interfering with everyday life and stopping this patient from fully delving into their business and self-employment.

The patient responded rapidly to treatment and whilst it was obviously very challenging having to visit memories of the past, it needed to happen so that those memories could be efficiently processed and integrated back into the psyche.

This was clearly a profound healing journey with which an incredible expansion of creativity, business momentum, improvement in mood and a more gentle, calm perception of the past came shining through. It was a very touching transformation to witness.

Patient Testimonial: Low mood

“I contacted Jonny under the guise of suffering with very swollen lower legs but during my first consultation I found myself talking about how low my mood was. Jonny made me feel so comfortable that I talked and cried freely.  He nudged me to explore why topics brought out particular emotions and encouraged me to consider why these were triggers. Quickly we recognised how my fear and reluctance to make changes to myself challenged the role others expect of me. During my first few months of treatment I drew courage from the supportive (but challenging) space of Jonny’s consultations and made significant changes including changing my job. I no longer feel like a square peg in a round hole. The impact has been noticeable especially within the toxic relationships that I was able to recognise and change my reaction to. 

In short I have been able to reflect on my issues in a supportive environment and make changes that I felt in control of but never thought that I would have the courage to make. 

Thank you”

Big changes in her job, relationships and family dynamics on top of her herbal prescription brought about a much needed improvement in mental wellbeing and a clarity of how to make further changes to her health and wellness. It has been a joy to watch these changes bring out the passion in her life again.
