What our clients say:
I want to thank you for the advice you gave me for mum. It has been perfect! They no longer give her the sleeping tablet, and there’s such a big difference in her behaviour. She no longer wants to sleep all day long, she has rosy cheeks and she’s enjoying activities again. The difference is amazing! If it wasn’t for what you said, I would never have thought to say something. Thank you so much.
- Gabi, relative
