“I have regained hope of becoming healthy and happy.”

 I have been feeling a lot better lately and I owe it to you. I can’t thank you enough for treating me and helping me with my health issues. I still have a long way to go but I wouldn’t have come this far if not for you. From feeling like a sword hanging over my head to actually relishing a small meal with no discomfort afterwards is nothing short of a dream come true for me. I have regained lost hope of becoming healthy and happy. Just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for you.

“After 6 treatments, our daughter's condition has improved a lot and she no longer wakes up at night.”

 Our daughter (now aged 10) has had nightmares for 3-4 years and was waking up 2-3 times every night.  Because of disturbed sleep, she was lacking energy during the day and spending a lot of time on the internet.  We didn't want to go to a GP, since we didn't want to put her on any medication, so we were looking for alternative treatments.  By chance we found out about Marina and the Frequency Specific Microcurrent therapy.  After 6 treatments, our daughter's condition has improved a lot and she no longer wakes up at night.  She still has dreams that she describes as "unusual", but no longer troubling.  As a bonus, she spends more time off the internet reading books and making art.

 “With Marina’s help, I am now well and strong. Thank you for bringing me out of the wilderness of ill health and back into wellness!”

I contacted Marina Townsley after suffering severe abdominal pain and worrying about gynaecological symptoms for several years. Doctors had no answers and things got worse to the point I was losing weight very fast and could barely function. I felt confidence in Marina from my first visit. I really liked how she had already prepared a plan by studying my online questionnaire. This she adapted through careful listening, which is a hallmark of her practice. She approached things very methodically, showing wide expertise and always explaining things very carefully. I started to make progress straight away. Things weren’t straightforward, but with Marina’s steady help I am now well and strong. Thank you, Marina, for bringing me out of the wilderness of fear and ill health and back into wellness!

“I have not had a diverticulitis attack since I started
to follow Marina’s advice”

I was in despair when I first came to see Marina for my diverticulitis, as the NHS had refused to operate on me because of my other ailments, and another herbalist had refused to treat me, as she said I was too difficult a case. I was getting severe attacks every 2-3 months and going into hospital as an emergency, there was a risk of peritonitis. Marina helped me a lot over the years. I am extremely careful with my diet now and if I keep my colon clean I seem to be able to cope. I have not had an attack since starting to follow her advice and I find her herbal mixture quite miraculous.

“Thanks to Marina's expert advice, we discovered that I was not suffering from ulcerative colitis but another condition, which she was able to eradicate”

Following a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, I was recommended to Marina to get advice on how to manage this condition as well as my health in general. Thanks to Marina's expert advice and vast knowledge over the last few months; and her amazing support and guidance, not only did we discover that I was not suffering from colitis but another condition, which she was able to eradicate, I am feeling better than I have done for many years! Thank you Marina for all your help.

“Marina is a magician.”

I suffered from bad eczema from birth till the age of 24. I tried all the remedies under the sun from cortisone cream to moisturising bandages. I went to the doctors and was repeatedly referred to dermatologists who never looked passed the prescription of creams and told me I’d have to live with it.

Finally it got so bad I wasn’t sleeping, it looked horrible and was constantly uncomfortable so I decided to pay Marina a visit where after no more than 5 sessions my problems were over! She told me to get an allergy test and from there I found out I was allergic or intolerant to multiple things. Once we knew what was causing it she wrote up pages and pages of helpful nutritious meals and supplements to help get rid of the irritation.

I am now living more comfortably and ultimately happier and healthier. Thanks Marina!

“There is hope and a way out of fibromyalgia. Marina knows about a whole other world of health and wellness and why it is so important to the human body.”

I came to Marina in early 2021 with alarming physical pain and mental anguish. Fibromyalgia was diagnosed, and the work began trying to unpick what was causing such great stress to my nervous system. A history of disc injuries, a bad viral infection and episodes of severe chronic stress were all playing a role, but unbeknown to me was a myriad of other underlying chronic issues in my gut and severe toxin exposure. Over the last 20 months, I have worked very closely with Marina Townsley to diagnose and treat these infections and dysbiosis in the gut, and detox from mycotoxin poisoning, something I got from living in a flat with black mould.

These steps have allowed my nervous system to rebalance and move from a state of constant fight or flight into a more rest and repair state which has given me space to heal. Marina’s help was my first step in regaining some control over my life which had completely spiralled out of control.

Key elements of working with Marina were natural herbs, natural supplements, a clean diet, and patience which have alleviated a significant part of the causation. She goes above and beyond the call of duty time and time again and has been right every step of the way. She knows about a whole other world of health and wellness and why it is so important to the human body.

There is hope and a way out of fibromyalgia. It takes time, patience and determination (and for me much psychological work) and I didn't think it was possible. But it is. Have faith and work with the right people.

“Invaluable guidance and support, with careful consideration of my hospital treatments and doctor’s guidelines”

Marina has offered me invaluable guidance and support throughout a year of complex, numerous and challenging medical treatments, during 2020. She has continually taken an integrated and holistic approach to my healthcare, in careful account to my hospital treatments and lifestyle, and in consideration of all guidelines from my specialist nurse and doctors. Her consultations and advice demonstrate a great deal of knowledge, research and understanding of dietary, nutritional, herbal healthcare and rehabilitation. She has gone beyond the consultation, showing care between appointments, when issues or questions arose, and has equipped me with the knowledge to take forward and enjoy a happy and healthy life!

Marina is also now working successfully with my father, who I recommended her to. He was hesitant about seeing a Naturopath, but Marina makes it beneficial even for a slightly sceptical client!”

“The programme Marina put me on helped me so quickly I was shocked and the effects have been long-term.”

Marina really helped me when I lost hope in all cures and doctors’ recommendations for my stomach issues and lack of energy on top of a whole host of other complaints. She is very very thorough in her questions and really looked holistically at my symptoms. I honestly was slightly sceptical as to the extent she could help me but the programme she put me on with the various supplements and tinctures helped me so quickly that I was shocked. Her recommendations were spot on and I started to feel an improvement within the first few days to the point where my original concerns were gone. My bloating also improved significantly which was something I’d never managed to get control over before.

The effects have even been long-term, and I am really grateful to Marina for her help at a time when I was struggling. I would not hesitate to recommend her to family and friends (already have)! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your time and help!

“It’s incredible to realise how important gut health is to every function of the body”

Marina treated my SIBO in a natural and gradual way. I feel so much better and all my symptoms are gone. It’s incredible to realise how important gut health is to every function of the body and through Marina’s help I was able to restore my guts health. I am symptom-free and full of energy. Would totally recommend Marina.

“Marina is a supremely kind and compassionate individual, who really cares about helping her patients.”

Marina has been an immeasurable help to me in my recovery from radiation and chemo trauma. She is a supremely kind and compassionate individual who really cares about helping her patients. I have been an incredibly complex case but Marina has always persevered to identify and work through my many layers of problems! I have recommended her to many friends and family, and would say that if you are not sure about seeing a naturopath, or are new to natural health and losing patience with the allopathic establishment: GO AND SEE MARINA!

“I owe Marina my mental and physical wellbeing.”

I developed bladder urgency after my first ever UTI at the age of 29 and was offered bladder training and Solfenacin by a urologist consultant. I went through a low period because I couldn’t believe I had just been labelled with OAB from one acute episode of infection. It led to disruption in my work, not wishing to travel and becoming agoraphobic. I did not want to live the rest of my life this way, so I decided to source alternative medical techniques, where in my opinion, western medicine had failed me.

After listening to my history, Marina felt that I had a dysbiosis in the gut, which may have led to these symptoms. I have been with Marina in treatment for over a year, and I am happy to say, that my bladder symptoms and the urgency has reduced markedly, and I have found a new lease of life. I no longer worry about going out in public, am less anxious, and generally, I owe Marina my mental and physical wellbeing. I would recommend Marina for FSM and herbal treatment, as she is extremely knowledgeable in her craft. Six sessions of FSM have been a turning point for me .

“I don't believe I would have been able to navigate the complexities of gut health and treatments as well as diet changes without Marina's help.”

I had an attack of Diverticulitis and a course of antibiotics at my local hospital fixed the short-term problem but I needed some help to improve my gut health for the long term. I started sessions with Marina, and she recommended various naturopathic remedies to aid my gut health as well as recommending diet changes. Marina suggested a stool test, which confirmed my improved gut health. A blood test pointed to a few food intolerances that I was previously unaware of. I have continued with a programme of these treatments and for the last year I have had no reoccurrence of Diverticulitis.
I don't believe I would have been able to navigate the complexities of gut health and treatments as well as diet changes without Marina's help.

“Marina has helped me hugely with tackling my health problems.”

I consulted Marina for just under a year, initially for help with SIBO but then after doing various tests we found out I had a number of other issues to deal with (viruses, bacteria) and she has helped me hugely with tackling these health problems.

I really enjoyed my appointments with Marina and definitely recommend her!

“I have found the post-operative FSM treatment effective and my recovery enhanced”

I had four operations on the same shoulder, and the last time after a full shoulder reconstruction Marina treated me with FSM to speed up recovery and reduce the pain and swelling. I have found the post-operative FSM treatment effective and my recovery enhanced as it was easier and faster than the previous three times. She also fixed the damage to the opposite arm where cannula was inserted incorrectly, which caused me a lot of pain and discomfort. I was able to hold my baby daughter again, and even managed a trip abroad soon after having four 2-hour FSM sessions with Marina. Very grateful.

“Marina provided answers, which have helped me considerably with both my health and my stress”

I have been a patient of Marina Townsley during a difficult period of my life due to a bereavement.   Marina has listened patiently and asked me questions with understanding. She requested several tests, offered suggestions and provided answers, which have helped me considerably with both my health and my stress. I am most grateful to her.

– Valerie L.

“Marina is very thorough and professional in her approach, yet builds a great rapport with her patients. I cannot recommend her enough”

Marina Townsley is the best recommendation I have ever had. My son was diagnosed with eosophagitis when he was 8 years old and suffered from bad tummy aches which allopathic medicines did not seem to improve. Marina prescribed natural remedies such as aloe vera to soothe and heal his system, as well as recommended a natural diet, complete with recipes, which nourished and strengthened him and built his immunity.

 She is very thorough and professional in her approach, yet builds a great rapport with her patients. I cannot recommend her enough.

“I now consider myself cured and back to the person I was before – which is a marvellous testament to Marina for her patience, moral support, and a huge amount of time and kindness above the call of duty!”

I knew I had a very serious health problem somehow related to food and I also knew that a GP and the NHS would not be able to help me – they do not have the time or the expertise.  I was pretty desperate as I was spending all my free time exhausted lying on the sofa, unable to cope with stress or focus properly on detail at work and then started to become allergic to lots of things!  I spent a year with Marina working on it with me as I did not seem to be a straightforward case for anything.  I now consider myself cured and back to the person I was before – which is a marvellous testament to Marina for her patience, moral support, and a huge amount of time and kindness above the call of duty!  I have already recommended her to lots of people and am delighted to do so as her intervention in my case has turned my life around.  Thank you!

“I suffered from severe pre-menopausal symptoms including depression, now I am symptoms free - I only wish I had seen Marina before.”

Marina has been a great help to me and I will have no hesitation in going to her whenever I have any medical problems. She is very sympathetic and gave me a very in-depth consultation. I suffered from severe pre-menopausal symptoms including depression, now I am symptoms free - I only wish I had seen Marina before. Herbal tincture prepared by Marina helped me a lot. I got rid of my depression and all my other problems. She is very passionate about herbs, she has got exceptional listening skills. I would totally recommend Marina to anyone.

“I now have energy and a calm sense of being that I have not felt in years. Many, many thanks Marina!”

Since a hysterectomy, resulting in a surgical menopause at the age of 45, I have had no help with my severe lack of energy, and very low mood, from the medical profession or various alternative therapy practitioners. So it was with reluctance that I had a consultation with Marina after a mutual friend suggested she might be able to help. The initial assessment was thorough. Having listened to my explanation of symptoms that I was still having ten years after the surgery, Marina calmly and gently prescribed tinctures, herbal teas and specific foods as well as changing my usual diet. I was at last able to address the physical and mental 'depression' I was experiencing. Within one month I was noticing an increase in energy levels and I was not feeling so low. My health has continued to improve over the next six months and I feel confident that I will never again feel as awful as I had felt. Marina was interested in my whole being and I was able to trust her confidentiality for her to then be able to suggest various remedies. Ultimately we discovered that a change of diet, based on the results from a food intolerance test and my blood group test, have relieved my symptoms brilliantly. I now have energy and a calm sense of being that I have not felt in years. Many, many thanks Marina!
