I was fortunate enough to have a reiki treatment from Aliza, principally to help with anxiety I felt during a particularly stressful period at work. The appointment was very relaxing, and surprising, as I’ve never really been very convinced by ‘alternative therapies”, but was pursuaded by a friend who had been treated by her before. After the initial visit I felt an immediate difference, and with visits over the next few weeks felt increasingly at ease and better able to deal with the daily challenges. I am very happy to recommend her, and it made a big difference to me.

I came to Aliza in 2010 with a long list of problems. Having exhausted medication and unhealthy yo-yo dieting after years of searching for answers, i felt like i needed to get to the root of my health problems as opposed to simply treating them, only for my symptoms to repeatedly return every month. I was definitely sceptical of approaching treatment from a nutritional aspect. I felt as though something as simple as what i eat couldn’t possibly cause the problems i had. My main concern was my recurrent attacks of cystitis and thrush. Doctors would prescribe me large doses of antibiotics over and over again, to the extent where every month i was on a week long course. Somewhat frustratingly, my constant antibiotic use caused yeast infections with every course. Treating my yeast infections with pharmaceutical medicines seemed to work for a matter of days before they would persistently come back. Along with these two main concerns, i have dealt with life long eczema, psoriasis, asthma, heavy and painful periods, lethargy and difficulty sleeping.

 I only expected Aliza to tell me i had cystitis and thrush, much like i had been told for years, and then what i should eat. To my surprise, Aliza sat down with me and went through my entire background with me, showing great concern and interest. Not only did she determine that the cause of my constant yeast infections, tiredness, lethargy and difficulty remembering things was to do with a candida imbalance in my body, she also came up with an in depth and extremely informative plan for me. I realised after seeing Aliza, that not only was i not giving my body anywhere near half the nutrients it needed, i was actually eating food that directly exacerbated and even caused the problems i had been facing. 

 Thanks to Aliza, i now haven’t experienced a bout of cystitis for nearing 3 months – a change which once seemed impossible. I no longer live in worry that at any given moment i could be in terrible pain and stress, and i haven’t had to use antibiotics for the longest time in years. With my new lease on life, i haven’t experienced an eczema or psoriasis break out once, my sleep pattern has completely turned around, i now have restful sleep and don’t wake up in the middle of the night, my periods have been the best they have in years and as a result of less physical stress, i have not had an asthma attack once since seeing Aliza either. On top of all this, we are still addressing my ongoing issues with candida imbalance, which while still present in my life, have changed radically. I no longer get ‘fog brain’ daily, i have energy and don’t ‘crash’ in the afternoon, i can remember things with far greater ease and my once constant head aches now come once in a while. Aliza has shown huge determination and a personal care in helping me that i will always be grateful for. 

Perhaps the most unexpected thing i have gained from seeing Aliza is a huge sense of care and respect over what i put in my body. I now see what i eat as a huge part of my life, and an extension of self care. I love to cook and even include vegetables in my once sugar based diet! Aliza’s professionalism, endless knowledge and empathy have helped me enormously and i would recommend her in a heart beat.

After only a few days after following Aliza’s advice I felt like a different person with almost double the energy I had had before.  I had gone to see Aliza as I was in a terrible state with permanent tiredness, sleeplessness and a constant brain fog. I really felt like the living dead.
 
After a thorough consultation she identified my problem as blood sugar swings and gave me alternative suggestions for snacks and diets. While we all have a general knowledge of this issue Aliza’s strength is that she does have the scientific knowledge to justify her suggestions and she is realistic to recognise that not everyone can prepare their food from scratch every day.
 
She also addressed the emotional issues that were driving me to being a stressed out workaholic and suggested some flower remedies as well as lifestyle changes. While I was a bit sceptical I gave the flower remedies a go and all in all with the new diet, supplements and flower remedies I feel like a different person. I am also delighted to have lost almost a stone in two months, sleep soundly most days and my almost constant back pain has nearly disappeared.  
 
I still have some off days but with the new regime I get quickly back on track. I am so grateful for Aliza’s kindness and professionalism. I have seen other therapists at renowned practices and felt like I was receiving standard advice on a production line. I never felt like that with Aliza and have no hesitation in recommending her.

I sought Aliza’a help with a problem that has caused me a great deal of discomfort for years; the symptoms I had suffered were sever bloating, stomach pains and even the occasional fainting. My many visits to my GP surgery produced no results so I thought I will try the natural medicine route. I was impressed at the level of detail that Aliza went into to describe the possible causes of my symptoms and the best way to tackle them; she developed a dietary protocol for me that basically elliminated all foods and drinks that can cause my symptoms; although difficult to maintain, I did persevere and the results were simply remarkable. By substantially reducing or eliminating from my daily diet things such as dairy products, wheat based products, coffee, etc I have achieved substantial reduction in symptoms that have blighted my life for years. I have managed to maintain my dietary regime through Aliza’s continued support and encouragment for which I am extremely grateful.

I went to see Aliza after having glandular fever which left me with post viral fatigue. The constant feeling of physical and mental exhaustion stopped me having any sort of life. I could barely get out of bed in the mornings and had no energy to even talk to my family and friends which left me feeling isolated and helpless. My GP basically told me there was nothing
I could do and I would just have to wait till my body had repaired itself, which could’ve taken years. Luckily I found out about Aliza’s holistic approach to health so I went to see her. She put together a practical plan including diet, lifestyle and supplements and within 4 weeks, after a few small changes, I could start to feel there was light at the end of the
tunnel. After 8 weeks I was back on my feet, working efficiently and now I have my social life back again! I can’t believe how quickly I recovered with Aliza’s help, it really is incredible. Aliza has given me myself and my life back – if only all doctors were so knowledgeable, sympathetic and reassuring!

I knew for some time that my diet was very poor and affecting my health but being a 30 year old man with no experience in the kitchen, I was a bit ashamed to seek any advice on how to improve it. A friend referred me to Aliza and this was a real turning point for my life. She was exceptionally helpful, she didn’t make me feel uncomfortable and was totally non-judgmental about me and my unhealthy diet. Her simple explanation of the effect on my body that my diet was having was a real wake-up call, and her advice on how I should change things has had a massive impact on my life. It was simple, insightful and sympathetic advice and has changed my diet forever. For the first time ever I’m not ashamed as I load the contents of my shopping basket onto the check-out counter, which feels great. And with her simple recipes even I, an absolute novice in the kitchen, am able to prepare simple nutritious meals – it’s made me feel so much better about myself, inside and out. I recommend that anyone who wants to understand and improve their diet speak to Aliza.

I consulted Liza after receiving a smear test result showing abnormal cells in the cervix. As these did not get better after six months, I was told that because of my age (just over 40) and therefore my immune system not being as strong as someone in their 20’s, I should not leave it any longer but should have a loop diathermy treatment, where the doctor would use an electrical current to burn away the cells. This would have side effects, not least a small risk of miscarriage if I should become pregnant in the future.

I was not happy with this, and had a feeling that the problem could be reversed by nutritional changes and strengthening my immune system. Liza confirmed that this was indeed possible, and proposed a new healthy eating regime, which as well as introducing more protein into my diet, included therapeutic doses of folic acid, B12 and selenium. I also cut down significantly on chocolate and any fast food. After one month there was no change, but she had advised we would almost certainly need three months for any changes to happen. I included from then on high doses of Vitamin C, a shiitake mushroom supplement and started to use calendula and hydrastis pessaries.
Sadly, two weeks later my father died suddenly and I was worried that the extra stress would be counterproductive to any possible good changes, though I generally kept on with the plan. I was expecting therefore for the result to be the same, or even worse when I had another smear test after three months. However I was surprised and delighted to hear that everything was now normal.

I feel that a nutritionist must have more than just a good comprehensive knowledge of the subject. It is equally important to be able to listen and empathise with one’s clients so they feel nurtured, supported and understood, and therefore more likely to make the necessary changes. This comes very naturally to Liza, and she has been kind and encouraging throughout. It is a wonderful and exciting thing to be able to have the knowledge and support to take control over one’s health, especially when it results in a happy and successful outcome.

I have seen Aliza for a few reiki and healing sessions in Wimbledon. Despite initially being a sceptic I can’t argue that it has been of noticeable benefit. I have suffered from arthritis in both my hands and feet and from the 1st session there was a difference in the mobility of my joints and reduction of pain. Subsequent sessions maintained that improvement and although I still have symptoms they have greatly improved in a short space of time. In every session I feel tingling and sometimes needle-like sensations in my hands and feet, and sometimes heat coming out of her hands. On one session I had hot inflamed hands and immediately afterwards they were cool again. I’m not sure how it works, but it does. Thank you Aliza, I will continue to be treated by and recommend you to others.

I was a bit apprehensive about coming to see aliza as I wasnt sure how seeing a nutritionist could influence my life much. Alizas extensive knowledge of food, suppliments and how the body functioned was incredible. I felt completely at ease and was able to discuss a whole range of issues. Her lightheartedness and warm persona made it a throughly enjoyable experience, and my health has improved in ways I thought weren’t possible. seeing aliza for health guidence is something I will do regularly from now on.
