“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.
