I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ben as not only a brilliant practitioner in the field of health & wellbeing but someone I was able to feel comfortable to speak to. I decided to book in with Ben after seeing such remarkable health results that my husband had experienced. During my first consultation, I had an iridology assessment as well as Live blood analysis. I was able to see a live picture on screen of my own blood that Ben was then able to explain deficiencies, inconsistencies within the blood as well as inflammation present. This was also reflected within my eyes. With guidance from Ben to begin taking top quality supplements that he tailor made for me as well as making key changes to my diet and lifestyle, I was able to see drastic improvements in the condition of my blood, within only 6 weeks.
As a result, I now feel that my overall wellbeing has improved 100% This is a game changer for me as I’m feeling Absolutely Fantastic and have learnt from Benjamin what I need to do to continue to be in a state of peak health and experience overall wellbeing.
Thankyou Benjamin 😊 you have turned my life around !
