CLIENTS SAY

Cora, 56, Dublin 16

I met with Caroline In March 2018. At this time, I had no energy, was drained mentally and physically and although I had small amount of exercise every day – I was exhausted.

Sinead, 48, Monkstown

Caroline’s approach is completely holistic, she took account of my nutritional needs as well lifestyle issues which could be affecting my overall health.

Bernadette, 48, Surrey UK

I had been suffering a lot with skin issues for a long time & was unhappy with the doctors response of steroid after steroid cream. A friend of mine recommended me to talk to Caroline Swords.

Declan, 46, Co. Wicklow

I had many food related issues and symptoms when I met with Caroline. The truth was I had been suffering for 3 decades as most food seemed to react with me and left me with terrible symptoms.

Katy, 45, Co. Dublin

I had a chronic auto-immune condition for many years that would flare up now and then. The trouble was it was flaring up more and more often and I was beginning to think this was going to be a permanent part of my life until I got speaking with Caroline.

Lisa 38, Shankhill, Dublin

Through Caroline’s excellent guidance & understanding, she helped me to realise I had an unhealthy relationship with food & that I needed to make some quite simple but important changes to my diet & lifestyle.
