Hazel has been wonderful in patiently seeing me through a journey to better health. She took time to get to know me and get to the root cause of my issues. I highly recommend Hazel to anyone seeking a more balanced gut health and healthier life.

Over the past 5 years, Hazel has worked with me to improve my diet and nutrition. After having 4 months of chemotherapy, she has continued to provide knowledgeable advice, insights, suggestions and compassion. Highly recommended. Thank you Hazel.

I went to Hazel for dietary help for debilitating arthritis, regular migraines and irritating psoriasis. I could only work part-time and was fearful of the future.I appreciated her detailed investigations, accurate diagnoses, and mutually agreed upon action plans (always printed or emailed to me).When I had to make difficult changes, Hazel managed – with exquisite grace – to hit the right note of firmness with compassion that made me want to change. I felt understood and supported.Lifestyle advice naturally flowed into some counseling. Hazel invited me to reframe a seemingly impossible situation. Because of her insights, I made a far better decision – with joyful results!Armed with a new understanding of gut health and emotional wellbeing, I have steadily improved or eliminated all my symptoms. I’m back to working full-time in a physically demanding job, my relationships have improved, and now I’m facing a major transition with confidence and excitement!I thank God for Hazel.

No better recommendation

There is no better recommendation than that of a friend and I am so glad I took their advice and met with Hazel. Hazel’s help and support has been integral with my finding a diet and targeted supplements that improved my gut health, greatly reduced allergies I have had for 50 years plus and reduced inflammation throughout my body. So lovely to meet someone with such knowledge and I can thoroughly recommend Healing Naturally.

My eczema has gone

Around two years ago I suddenly developed eczema on my hands, which later spread over most of my body. I went to several GPs who prescribed topical steroid creams and lotions but no-one was trying to find the cause. I am 18 and had never had eczema in the past. Hazel was recommended to my mum and right from the start Hazel made it clear that she was going to find the cause of my eczema, which was such a relief! We were feeling desperate as my quality of life had become dramatically affected at this point.

Hazel was more than incredible and not only has my eczema disappeared, she also offered life skills with her holistic approach. She is so knowledgeable and experienced. I am beyond grateful that I came across Hazel as she has completely changed my life! I am now eczema free and have knowledge about gut health to ensure I stay this way.

Better after long term illness

When I first started working with Hazel, I had recently been seriously ill with an exacerbation of my long term condition, I was very thin and my blood tests results were all haywire. After 4 months of diet, supplements, exercise, improved sleep and general positivity under Hazel’s care, I felt much better and my blood tests were normal.

Made me feel cared for

As I was going through a tough phase of my life, I came to a point where I needed help. I was always  curious about Reiki.  I found Hazel’s website online and I booked an appointment.

Hazel immediately made me feel comfortable. She took the time to get to know me and understand my background by asking me what help I needed and what my intentions were. Hazel’s genuine and caring demeanour put me at ease at the beginning of our session, she explained everything before we got started. There’s something about the way she does the Reiki healing itself. It felt effective in terms of how I felt afterwards, and Hazel gave me tips on what to do after the session to support its benefits.

I would highly recommend a session with Hazel. I did more sessions with her as it really helped me a lot to start my healing journey. She checked up on me and made me feel cared for. She is experienced in what she does and on top of that, is a wonderful and kind human being. This has been a huge part of my healing and I will always be grateful. Thank you so much Hazel! I’m truly in awe of all the love and light you brought within me, i will never forget this!

Hazel is amazing

I have suffered with sore tummies/gut issues and fatigue for a long period of time, where it got significantly worse at the start of the 2022. I turned to Hazel for help and what a good idea this was. She is not only a kind and calming person but also has a wealth of knowledge. She assigned me with a small handful of tasks to complete and tests to undertake. Where we then worked on my diet and other gut issues to get to the root of my long prevailing issues. I’ve come out the other side feeling like a new person with a new take on life and I’ve also got copious amounts of energy again which is awesome.

I without a doubt 100% recommend Hazel to anyone out there looking to start or progress their nutrition healing journey.

More than five stars

If I could give Hazel more than five stars, I would. She has been amazing in helping me achieve my goals.

I lost 15kgs in 6 weeks and have kept it off. I am sleeping better and have more energy and focus during the day. Hazel made the whole process easy and kept me on track. Thank you.

Pain-free at last

I presented to Hazel with a few stomach problems. I had spent the last 12 months on many different antibiotics and other medications, which had taken a huge toll on my body. Within a couple of months, Hazel had me pain-free which had not happened in over 4 years. I am forever thankful. The reports given were very self-explanatory and easy for me to follow. Thank you, Hazel, for your calming nature, support and understanding. I would highly recommend Hazel to anyone.

Sound advice

I’ve always been pretty mindful of what I eat and drink, but having Hazel as a sounding board has been incredibly beneficial. In making a few subtle changes, I have been amazed at the difference it has made to my general wellbeing and would recommend Hazel to anyone looking to improve their health via nutrition. In providing sound nutritional advice, she also instills a sense of accountability which encourages you to do better and break bad habits. I can’t speak highly enough of Hazel and the advice she provides!

Given me my life back

I have been living with what I thought was IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) for years. You name it and I have tried it. I have spent a lot of money on trying out different things. 

A couple of people I trust referred me to Hazel and now I’m feeling the best I have in years.  With Hazel’s help, we worked out what was really going on with my gut health. I am now eating more food types than I was before and it is definitely easier for me to go places again. Thank you so much Hazel. You have given me my life back.

My lifestyle changed for the better

I must say that after nearly 4 months of dealing with Hazel, my lifestyle has completely changed for the better! For the first time in ages, I’ve felt happier, healthier and more in control. After dealing with a gradual decline in energy and constantly falling ill throughout winter, the program she put me on was very helpful in making me aware and accountable for eating healthy foods and the right foods for my body, which has instantly resulted in my body thanking me for making the change. Hazel has a high level of professionalism and knowledge, but at the same time talks to you with such sincerity. I felt the compassion and energy she puts into her work. I would definitely recommend to anyone to approach Hazel at Healing Naturally.

Amazing

Hazel helped my 5 year old son restore the flora in his tummy after 2 rounds on antibiotics which caused a plethora of problems. She is amazing! Friendly, supportive and goes the extra mile. Highly recommend for advice on alternate ways to heal your body rather than just conventional ways.
Georgia

Simple and effective

Excellent nutritionist and great service. Healing Naturally provided me with a simple and effective plan to improve my health. Highly recommend. Thanks again Hazel.
Alex

Huge difference

Hazel did an amazing job at helping me implement preventative techniques for my health rather than waiting for a problem to arise and then fix it. Her unique and holistic recommendations have made a huge difference to my everyday life.
Payton

Extra mile

I first started seeing Hazel in April this year after experiencing digestive problems (excess wind) and suffering from mid-morning headaches if my breakfast lacked sufficient protein. Hazel was very caring, professional, knowledgeable and thorough, and I liked her holistic approach. She diagnosed a blood-sugar imbalance and prepared a treatment plan which included lifestyle changes. Nothing was too much trouble for Hazel and I believe she always went the extra mile. Now my digestive problems and headaches have disappeared and I am once again in control of my body instead of my body being in control of me.
Jill

Healthier outlook

I am in my mid 50’s and went to Hazel initially as I had been gaining weight steadily since stopping smoking. I had other issues which I had put down to my age, such as flatulence, general tiredness (making it so difficult to get up in the morning) and cravings for sweet food which was unusual for me as I have always preferred savoury food. I wanted to be proactive about being well and having a healthy weight to take me into the future. I was very skeptical to begin with but thought, “nothing else has worked so far so I have to give this a go. It would cost me less than replacing my entire wardrobe”.

Following a hair sample test, Hazel guided me through the results from which my personalised protocol or plan was developed. Hazel explained things that could be done to deal with the issues identified to improve my gut health and general wellbeing through dietary changes and some lifestyle adjustments.

Detoxifying and changing my diet has changed everything. Believe me, it has taken some will power, but it has all been worth it. Not long into the process, I noticed I was sleeping better and waking up fresher – not bouncing out of bed, but definitely fresher. The flatulence has gone away and I am back to functioning normally. The weight I had gained is slowly and surely coming off and I am getting closer to my goal weight each week. I have adopted a healthier outlook toward nourishing myself and am determined to carry this into the future with me.

I would recommend Hazel to others who would really like some personalised guidance and support to achieve health or weight goals.

Positive changes in my health

Hazel has been fantastic at helping me on my journey of healing my gut and getting my autoimmune disease (which she also helped get a diagnosis for) into remission . I went to Hazel after being brushed off by doctors regarding stomach pain, food intolerances and hypothyroidism. She recognised I could have the autoimmune disease Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and sent me off for the tests which confirmed it. A few months in and my antibodies have come down and I have noticed really positive changes in my health.

Added bonus

I first starting seeing Hazel just over a year ago. I was feeling extremely sluggish and was constantly bloated. On top of that, my blood pressure was slowly creeping up and if it continued, my doctor was going to prescribe pills for high blood pressure. I was very impressed with Hazel’s thoroughness and genuine concern to get me well again. I found her to be very knowledgeable, especially in areas of thyroid issues and autoimmune diseases. Hazel identified my health issues and prepared a treatment plan for me to follow. After following the plan, and with Hazel’s guidance, I am no longer bloated and I have more energy. My blood pressure has dropped and, as an added bonus, I lost 10 kilos. Thank you, Hazel.
Alison

Success at last

Hazel was our last resort in the treatment of our 5-year old’s eczema and I wish she had been our first! Hazel has successfully dealt with the cause of our son’s eczema, instead of throwing steroids and emollients at us and sending us on our way! She was genuinely interested and spent a lot of energy in getting to know not only her patient but our family’s way of life. At times it was difficult, but we were well supported during her treatment plan, and in the gentle transition to a different diet. Hazel was easily accessible and encouraging. Now, there’s no more eczema and our son is a much happier lad! Thanks, Hazel xx.
Jessie

Great knowledge

Thanks, Hazel. I have been to nutritionists before but never had the amount of medical information relating to me detailed like this. I really appreciate your knowledge.
Karen

Amazingly thorough

I appreciate the comprehensive report and work you have put in. Amazingly thorough. The process with you has been easy.
Rachel

Highly recommended

I highly recommend Hazel. Our 18-month-old boy was catching colds plus bronchiolitis, and was ill more than he was well. After the initial consultation, we were placed on a dietary plan that has improved his and our quality of life.
Natasha

Professional and courteous

I sought help from Hazel as I had difficulty with lack of energy, my blood sugars were not balanced and I had plateaued with my weight loss. I also had signs of arthritis developing in my hands. Hazel was very professional and courteous throughout our contact. She clearly and fully explained all information and recommendations she gave me. She monitored my progress and was very supportive. As a result of our work together, I have managed to stabilise my blood sugars, feel satiated, have lost 16kg in five months – and not put the weight back on. I am very grateful to Hazel and thank her for her professional and personal approach.
Jo

Off antibiotics after years

I went to see Hazel after more than 2 years on antibiotics due to an ongoing infection. Initially I was slightly sceptical but told Hazel I would give her recommendations a good shot and after only 6 months of working closely with Hazel I can happily say I am no longer on antibiotics, nor do I have the infection. Hazel looked at the root cause of my issue and was ultimately able to solve a problem that my GP and two specialists could not. I would happily recommend Hazel and am very grateful for her support.

Incredible knowledge

After feeling unwell for so many years, I met Hazel last year and what a change in my life. Very professional and empathetic, Hazel helped me to resolved my guts issues. It was a big learning curve about nutrition, health and mental health and I am so grateful that Hazel was the person be part of this health journey, her incredible knowledge made me understand how the body/mind works.

A massive thank you to Hazel.
