Best thing I have done.

Your advice and guidance has changed my life, and I mean that sincerely.
I lived with Fibromyalgia for years, then menopause hit.
Before I started working with Sara, walking up a small incline of 150 yards felt like a huge mountain. I was anxious all the time.
12 weeks in, and I’ve been on a fantastic journey of giving my body what it needed with food, herbs and vitamins.
My body no longer hurts, my energy levels have risen and are still rising – I no longer have to limit my activity for fear of running out of energy. I don’t have to think about that any more and my muscles are coming back in my legs. I’ve also lost weight which is an added bonus.
I am not on a diet, I don’t go without anything that my body needs or desires, it just no longer desires sweet and savoury processed foods.
The investment I made in my body with Sara has given me so much back of me. The knowledge and understanding that Sara has is astounding and I feel that every day I have a guardian angel with me.
Lisa Ruscoe
I have been suffering with chronic pain and resulting fibromyalgia and insomnia for more than five years following a spinal injury. Every conversation with my GP proved frustrating, and always ended in my refusal to take more painkillers or antidepressants, as that was all that was offered. In addition, I’ve endured perimenopausal symptoms for the last few years, for which I eventually agreed to take HRT.
One lengthy conversation with Sara, and my life has turned around completely. No exaggeration.
Her diagnosis was simple, and to the point. She suggested several dietary and lifestyle changes, which I have implemented, and I now feel a million miles apart from the person I used to be, who was desperate for help and in constant pain.
My insomnia is almost gone, my pain and inflammation is largely under control. My hands, feet, joints and bones no longer hurt like they used to, and I am able to be more active, to work and live my life. And no more HRT!
Sara’s advice is sensible and the required changes are achievable. Thank you Sara, for giving me my life back. I will be forever grateful.
“I wanted to drop you a note to say how much I’ve appreciated your time and support over the last few years. Your guidance ahs really changed how I think about food and health. I feel that I am now armed with lots of amazing knowledge and have a much better understanding of myself and what works for my body.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that your help has had a lifelong effect on how I eat and live, so I wanted to say how incredibly grateful I am.
On a personal note, I’ve really enjoyed our sessions. You have been incredibly warm and supportive, which helped me open up about difficult topics.
After 8 years of hormones as a result of IVF treatment I didn’t want to go back there during my peri-menopause and take to HRT, and as I was starting to experience some symptoms I decided to look for a more natural, alternative solution & that is how I found Sara.
12 weeks ago I was exhausted, I had no energy, I was stressed and found myself getting cross with everything for no reason, generally I felt out of control, very emotional – oh and on top of all that I also wanted to lose some weight without ‘dieting’ and understand how to improve and maintain my health for the future.
After working with Sara, I now understand how to balance my blood sugar, my sugar cravings are gone, I have lost 7kg and feel confident that I have the tools to reach my target weight and maintain it! Despite having a stressful and demanding job I rarely now feel the same panic and stress and on the odd occasion that does happen I know exactly what to do to manage it and keep myself in a calm state. I don’t wake up feeling worse than when I went to bed anymore, but instead feel like I have had a proper rest.
I can’t thank Sara enough for sharing her knowledge and giving me her support. I know that the changes she has helped me to make will have a really positive impact on my health now and for the future & I would not hesitate to recommend working with Sara to any of my friends and family!
Frequently AskedQuestions
Can naturopathy work for everyone?
Since 2017, this programme has worked for the vast majority of the 150+ people who have done it.
They came because they were experiencing trouble losing weight, stress and overwhelm, low energy and general hormonal imbalances of perimenopause and had been to their doctor, who was unable to help them.
This programme will ensure your body has everything it needs to function well, however some aspects of chronic health conditions may require the bespoke herbal medicine upgrade (see FAQs) or a personalised 1:1 programme of herbal medicine and/ or supplements for full resolution.
While I am happy to promise you that - provided you follow the programme and do the work - you will feel healthier, less stressed and more energetic, there are some circumstances in which additional support may be necessary.
For instance, if you have severe symptoms, a complex health picture, or take multiple medications, you may need to upgrade to bespoke herbal medicine or a 1:1 programme may be needed in addition, or instead of the programme.
You MUST book a call with Sara to determine which is the most appropriate route for you. Options are The Nourish Club Group Programme/ The Nourish Club Group Programme + bespoke herbal medicine upgrade/ The Nourish Club + 1:1 programme.
Sara reserves the right to determine suitability, which she'll do during your call and using your symptom picture questionnaire, filled out prior to that call.
I’m eating healthily already. Will this still work?
There are many definitions of ‘healthy eating’, most of which are largely based on low calorie, low fat eating and deprive your body of the nutrients it needs to function optimally. Eating right for your life stage, for your hormones and consuming anti-inflammatory foods is completely different. Sara will guide you to eat delicious, family friendly food specifically tailored to your unique health needs that works WITH your body, not against it.
I’m not perimenopausal, can Sara still help?
Yes, most likely.
In her 20+ years in practice, Sara has spent thousands of hours working with countless people with different - and usually multiple health conditions - both diagnosed and undiagnosed.
Before you work with Sara, you must book a call to check you're a good fit.
Sara will only work with people she's sure she can help. If she doesn't think she can help you, she will say so, and refer you on to someone who can.
Either way, after the call, you'll be a big step closer to feeling well again.
I only want to lose weight. Is Sara the right person for me?
Sara specialises in health and weight loss for women in perimenopause.
Work with her and you will - like 95% of women who work with her - lose weight.
Sara does not teach dieting and restriction, she teaches you to eat really well for the rest of your life.
Like 100% of the women Sara works with on weight loss, you will feel healthier too!
It’s incredibly rare for people to follow the Sara's guidance and programmes and not lose weight. It’s also incredibly rare for people not to enjoy this family-friendly way of eating.
This is not for you if you want a quick (temporary) weight loss fix. This is about changing your habits and eating to change your health, forever.
What is the herbal medicine that's included?
Herbal medicine is as old as the hills. It's safe, effective and comes without side-effects.
Sara thinks of herbal medicine as one of her superpowers.
Herbs are a gentle way to rebalance and restore a your body.
Herbs can be used to strengthen and tonify the body, balance hormones, restore adrenals, prevent burnout, support sleep and calm a frazzled nervous system.
In your bespoke blend of herbs, which Sara will make up specifically for you, the herbs will be chosen to address the root cause(s) of your ill-health, deeply nourish your body and restore normal, healthy function in whichever areas your body needs - this is something Sara will determine during your initial consultation.
It's Sara's responsibility to ensure there are no interactions with any prescribed medication you may take - and yours to tell Sara about any medication you do take.
Don't I need a doctor to get better?
Doctors are really great at spotting life-threatening illness. However, they have very little nutritional training, or time, and so are not able to advise you on what to eat and how to strengthen and nourish your body from the inside out, using food, lifestyle techniques and mindset as medicine.
This is where naturopathic medicine excels.
Having access to Sara’s decades of clinical experience is a real game-changer.
I’m not sick, but I don’t feel well either. Will it work for me?
Where you have been examined by your doctor and blood tests are all normal, you are not undergoing any further investigations, no explanation has been found and your doctor is not concerned about your health (unexplained ‘low-grade’ ill-health) naturopathy works for the vast majority.
Sara is especially proud of this, because she works with the people doctors - and often other health practitioners - can't help.
Naturopathy is effective because it addresses the fundamentals of your health - the things your doctor doesn’t consider, like nutrient status, food intolerances, stress, eating right for your life stage, sleep, bowel regularity, gut health, inflammation, hormone balance, self care and boundaries.
I have a diagnosis from my doctor. Will naturopathy still work for me?
Absolutely.
Most people Sara works with have more than one diagnosis. Common conditions like IBS, eczema, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fibromyalgia, low mood, bronchiectasis and hormonal imbalances.
Most people are able to regain full health, or learn how to successfully manage a long-term condition naturally.
What if I take prescribed medication?
Everyone will be required to fill out a health history form before we start.
Commonly prescribed medications
Thyroxine - as long as your levels are stable, this will be no problem
Antidepressants - as long as you’re stable, this will be no problem
Omeprazole - not a problem
Statins - no problem, provided the reason for prescription is high cholesterol only. This programme is not suitable for people with heart disease
Metformin - if you take this or other diabetic medication, you will need additional support
Asthma - as long as you are stable, this will be no problem
Painkillers - provided you are taking for occasional pain relief, there will be no problem
HRT/ The Pill/ Mirena coil - these medications all mask (as opposed to cure) hormonal symptoms, but they don't always get rid of all symptoms.
This programme will still work for symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, low mood, brain fog, aches & pains alongside hormonal medications.
Herbal medicine
It's Sara's responsibility to ensure there are no interactions with any prescribed medication you may take - and yours to tell Sara about any medication you do take.
Are there any conditions Sara does not work with?
Yes.
Active cancer. I am happy to refer you on to someone who can help.
If you have No Evidence of Disease, or are in remission, or would like a preventative programme then we can work together.
Sara does not work with people who live in North America for insurance reasons.
Will I need to buy any supplements or remedies?
Ensuring you have the right levels of the right nutrients for healing is key to your success.
While the herbal medicine and nutrition and lifestyle elements of your recovery plan do most of the work, there are occasions where you will need additional supplements at an additional cost.
If there are additional supplements that you require, it is usually no more than £20-£40 over 12 weeks.
Will this work for undiagnosed health issues?
Where you have been examined by your doctor and blood tests are all normal, you are not undergoing any further investigations, no explanation has been found and your doctor is not concerned about your health (unexplained ‘low-grade’ ill-health) naturopathy will be effective for the vast majority or people.
