Jeanne-Marie's story in her own words
I became very unwell in April ‘06. It followed two and a half years of looking after my Father who wasn’t in the present and was often very aggressive and distressed. I am the only child and so was his sole support. There were so many other demands on me: I have 3 children who needed my attention not to mention my South American partner. My Father died in January ‘06 and I arranged a therapeutic, healing funeral with a strong spiritual theme.
After completing the probate, I walked straight in to a travel agent and booked a holiday for myself and my son but it wasn’t the break I’d hoped for. I came back after the holiday feeling extremely unwell, tired and foggy. I’d been sensitive to wheat for many years, but I seemed to be developing sensitivities to other foods as well. Ultimately green veg and salad were the only foods I could eat without feeling unwell. I couldn’t even tolerate swede, parsnips or potatoes! I ate green veg and salad day after day, and within a few weeks I began to feel unwell as soon as I’d eaten even that! I started to panic, and desperately went from practitioner to practitioner trying to find the answer. I tried everything: acupuncture; colonics; massage; aromatherapy; reiki; homeopathy. None of it seemed right for me and my health continued to go down hill. I remember speaking to my Mother on the ‘phone one day and breaking down in floods of tears, feeling utterly unable to cope: I felt so unwell, and my day to day life of being a partner, Mother and Nurse was really suffering. My Mother also started to cry, fearing for me and my health. That was lovely! The only other time she’d cried for me was when I ran away from home aged 8, 40 years ago! She encouraged me to continue to find a therapist, saying she’d give me the money if necessary. In desperation I decided to try visualization to see if I could manifest the perfect therapist. While I was doing my daily 20 lengths in the pool I repeated, “I am finding the perfect therapist, I am finding the perfect therapist” over and over again.
I was already taking herbs but they didn’t seem to be right for me either. I rang the company who sold the herbs to try and get some guidance and happened to get through to the owner, who isn’t often available. He listened to my story with close attention and after careful consideration decided I needed some guidance, and recommended 2 therapists, both kinesiologists, both in London where I am. For reason I can’t explain I was drawn to phone Alison.
I immediately liked the sound of her. She was very clear and professional. When I explained my situation to her she gave me an early appointment, within a few days, as it sounded so urgent. She immediately acknowledged that I was “shooting in the dark“, trying to work out what was wrong with me. That was absolutely how I felt...
Alison used muscle testing to assess my situation in the first appointment, and she found imbalances to suggest that a parasite of the protozoa family was stressing my body enormously which was probably causing all the food intolerances and tiredness. She recommended treatment with herbs, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Within 3 weeks I was feeling stronger and within 5 weeks other people were noticing how much better I was looking, which felt really nice. I began to feel so much happier. I began to be able to eat more foods: All veg, and, Oh my goodness, potatoes! Then little by little I was able to tolerate small amounts of grain and olives, mushrooms etc. I was starting to feel like a normal person again. I could eat tofu (I’m a vegetarian) and feta cheese. A Greek salad in a restaurant!!! - bliss! I began to develop a lovely sense of inner peace. Alongside this my energy levels went up and one night I celebrated by going out with my eldest daughter and salsa dancing until 2am! Three months ago I could have only dreamt of doing that.
Alison has an enormous range of healing talents. I have done lots of emotional work with her as well as the work with herbs and nutritional supplements. We’ve done past life work, we’ve have worked on my issues as a Mother, issues at work, and issues in relationships. The body knows exactly what it wants. I find this is an amazing system of healing. It’s so specific. Alison is extremely well qualified, making her an excellent practitioner. She also has a great deal of life experience behind her and must be very old but looks about 40! For anyone who wants to heal I couldn’t recommend Alison highly enough. My perfect therapist!
