Hi everyone, I thought I would share the story of the creation of Natural Allergy Therapies.

My name is Sara and I run Natural Allergy Therapies from my home clinic in Bedfordshire.

During 2004 I experienced a whiplash injury as a result of a car accident.

I experienced severe pain for several months which led to a referral to the Pain Clinic as the prescribed medication was not giving me adequate pain relief. The Pain Clinic gave me the recommendation of Spinal Anaesthetics. I was very nervous about this procedure although I was advised that it would help me. Shortly after the procedure began, I experienced anaphylactic shock which resulted in a short stay in intensive care. I was told that there was a 1 in 200,000 chance of this happening!

This eventually led to a diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and I was so unwell I rarely left my home as almost everything felt like a struggle.

It felt like permanent flu, but so much worse. As time went on I became more and more unwell. I was also diagnosed with Asthma and Eczema, often reacting to chemicals in my environment and reacting to almost everything I was eating, even though I had blood tests that did not reveal food allergies. So it was a mystery as to why I was having an adverse reaction to foods that I was not actually allergic to! I constantly had broken skin on my hands and my lips were often covered in painful blisters. So my waking hours were not very comfortable at all and at one stage I even suffered from insomnia for several months. Then there were those many times that I had a cold or a virus to deal with in addition to my ongoing health issues.

So for a number of years it seemed that nothing was alleviating my symptoms and after seeing several Doctors, my GP admitted that he did not know how I could be helped. At this stage I thought that the rest of my life would be like that.

Thankfully in 2011 a chance meeting led to a recommendation that I see a NAET Practitioner.

This was the first time I had heard of NAET and I was somewhat unsure about trying it at first. Although at this stage I felt that I had nothing to lose and decided to give it a go.

I’m glad I took that chance!

My first visit to my NAET Practitioner was in March 2011 and I was very unsure what to expect, although I decided to keep an open mind. Initially I attended weekly appointments. I have to admit that I felt zonked after each session! This is not a typical response for everyone, it was because I was so unwell and have a high level of sensitivity. NAET is a very powerful treatment so I knew that it was definitely doing something. I gradually started to feel well again and was able to enjoy more of the things that I once enjoyed doing. I was able to reconnect with friends I had not seen in a while and could enjoy eating out again.

My energy levels increased significantly and after a few months I recall telling my NAET Practitioner that I was feeling 80% better and thanked her for giving me my life back.

In August 2011 I was well enough to travel to Cyprus for a holiday with a friend and what a great time we had! It was the first time I fully enjoyed myself in about 7 years. I continued to visit my NAET Practitioner, but the frequency gradually reduced to months and then years.

An added benefit is that I also took my pets to see my NAET Practitioner and I could see that NAET was very beneficial to their health too.

As I was feeling a lot better I decided to get back into the world of work.

However, as a Law Graduate who had been inactive for a number of years, a legal career was no longer an option.

So because I had recognised the amazing benefits of NAET, I decided that I was going to learn how to become a NAET Practitioner.

So initially I studied Anatomy & Physiology. I then went on to study a Diploma with The British Institute for Allergy & Environmental Therapy – there was a lot to learn here, it took me 5 years! I then became a certified NAET Practitioner in 2016. I had a desire to help people in the same way that I was helped and did years of study to be able to do this! So here I am.

My aim is to share NAET with as many people as possible so that more people can also feel the benefits.

I CANNOT PROMISE THAT YOU WILL GET THE SAME RESULTS THAT I DID AS EVERYONE IS UNIQUE, BUT I WILL MOST CERTAINLY TRY MY VERY BEST TO HELP YOU TO FEEL BETTER.

Thank you to all of my clients, without you I would not be where I am today.
