Testimonials

‘At two weeks my baby was screaming after being fed, having been absolutely angelic prior to that and in-between feeding sessions. I was very stressed because she was in great discomfort. Maeve performed one treatment that made my baby feel immediately relieved. Maeve also showed me how to keep her unobstructed.’

‘J suffered severe gastric reflux and was about to have an operation for it. She was vomiting 4-5 times a day along with the associated changing of clothes. Maeve assured us she could help although we were not sure as J had been vomiting for all her 18 months of life. How wrong we were! Within 24hrs J had completely stopped vomiting. We were able to cancel the operation. Our lives and especially J’s changed overnight!'

‘When my three month old baby was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (a condition where an abundance of thick mucus compromises the lungs and digestive tract) I decided to take him to Maeve. He was not thriving after many infections and had suffered huge weight loss. Now he has been steadily thriving. He has huge amounts of energy, he is up to the 75th centile for his weight and his height is almost there too.’
