Down To Earth Nutrition

I found Shirley online. I was looking to improve my digestive health. I needed to ensure good health as I was caring for my terminally ill partner. We met on Zoom calls and over a period of 6 months plus she has helped me greatly. Every consultation was followed up by written recommendations of our discussions. Which were easily carried out. I feel so much better and I would not hesitate in recommending her to others wanting to improve their digestive health. I now realise what we eat is what we are.

I visited Shirley for advice on managing energy levels and good nutritional advice. I have noticed some positive results and found the consultations holistic. I have been able to confidently and comfortably make positive changes to my diet and overall health. I also found the follow up consultations very beneficial.

Shirley helped me address poor energy levels, poor susceptibility to colds and bugs and day to day uncomfortable stomach issues after eating. She methodically worked through my dietary history and symptoms followed by a scientific review of a stool analysis to provide various treatment plans. The results have been fantasti, all of my prior symptoms have reduced. And I thought I was a very healthy eater already! Shirley's down to earth treatment plans included achievable and subtle dietary changes alongside some supplement suggestions, all of which are clearly explained why they are beneficial. I just wish I had embarked upon this change sooner. Kelvin.

I visited Shirley as I had been very ill following the birth of my son, this left me with on going digestion problems. After visiting Shirley things have certainly started to make a move in the right direction with less pain and an overall improvement in my well-being. Shirley took the time to listen and view my situation holistically which has meant I have undertaken general lifestyle changes as well as diet and supplements. I have valued this approach greatly. I appriecate that there is a way to go as improving your digestive health is rarely overnight but I feel positive that its heading in the right direction and I look forward to working with Shirley further to improve things even more. She is friendly and approachable and works with you and your circumstances which is great.

I visited Shirley earlier this year as I am interested in healthy living and wanted to get some professional advice on how to improve my diet and general wellbeing. I found her to be very friendly and professional; she did a very thorough one-to-one inital consultation, which was followed up by a detailed report with some recipe suggestions. The package I opted for also included a follow up consultation a few weeks later to see how you are getting on with her recommendations and a second report. There was a lot of information in the reports, some of which I already knew and would consider 'basic', but I realise that it cannot always be taken for granted that everyone will know it. I was initially shocked about the amount and total cost of the vitamin supplements I was recommended to take, however they were of a much higher grade than the bog standard ones available at regular high street outlets and I am now happy to have paid the extra for them. As with a lot of things in life, you get what you pay for. I was also recommended a natural topical treatment for eczema which both my boyfriend and I have found gives really positive results. Overall, I would say the experience has been very positive and the information given I will continue to take into account. I would definitely recommend anyone to consult with a nutritional therapist and Shirley is a good one!Moreexpand_more

I went to Shirley following a number of years of putting on weight, lacking energy and feeling generally under the weather. I had been to the doctors with various ailments over the years, but never really got a proper answer other than prescriptions to deal with the symptoms rather than the cause. Shirley sent me a detailed questionnaire to complete prior to our first meeting, when she analysed my responses and also followed up with a number of tests that she did herself, together with some other tests performed by a lab which confirmed the presence of candida, and recommended a complete dietary shift together with nutritional supplements to help get my body back on track. A number of weeks down the line, and with continued support from Shirley, I feel very much better, have lost weight and am beginning to feel more energetic. I haven’t completed the programme yet, but I am really happy with the results so far. Worth every penny and I wish I had seen her years ago!

Shirley has really helped me with ongoing gastric problems I have had for over a decade. She gave me tips on digestion, supplements and hugely improved my overall knowledge of my digestive system, and what food I need to eat/avoid in order to be more comfortable. This is a specialist field and although it's not what I regard a cheap service, I was very determined to find an alternative to the pills from the Doctors for my problems, and it was worth every penny! Shirley has been very helpful for me, and I am able to take more control over the condition I have without taking the pills every day.

I have suffered with IBS for many years and at times it was extremely debilitating and painful. Shirley suggested some small dietary changes and recommended some supplements to take, these changes were very easy to adapt into my lifestyle without seeming daunting and too much of a chore. Within a few weeks of making these changes I found my symptoms far more manageable and much less frequent. I am really really pleased with the results. Thank you.

After an initial analysis of some absorption problems and mineral imbalances, Shirley went on to offer me a thorough analysis, recommended useful supplements. I already have now no muscle cramps and no regular 3 day headaches which were a constant feature. Though there are still mineral imbalances Shirley shows confidence that I am detoxing and helps me trust the process of tackling deep habits. I am now focused on hydration, eating slowly and eating smaller more balanced meals. This is quite an achievement for me. Her persistence and knowledge are most helpful.

I met Shirley soon after breaking my back and felt I needed to take whatever steps were required to provide the best nutritional environment in my body. I was also craving certain foods and never felt really satisfied after eating shirley analysed my diet and lifestyle and made several recommendations to balance my diet and suggested courses of supplements. The advice I received greatly helped in addressing the problems and within 7 months my back was completely healed. GregLancing.

I needed assistance with my nutrition to help with an on going skin condition (eczema) and for general good health and well being. Shirley Ward's has really helped me turn things around and fully understand the impact of the foods we eat upon the body, mind and emotions. My skin is so much happier. I feel full of energy and much more vital. I feel Shirley is exceptional in her field. I would highly recommend her services. Kate x.

Shirley always takes the time to explain things that will make sense to you.
