My consultation with Lorna was extremely helpful. She has a wealth of knowledge which she imparts clearly and accessibly. She didn’t overwhelm me with information and, having identified my goals, she sought to find gains in these areas. I feel I am following a sound plan and I am looking forward to my follow up consultation in a couple of weeks.

I’ve had a brilliant initial appointment with Lorna. She was very friendly and easy to talk to, explained things really well and is extremely knowledgeable about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Following our appointment, she provided an incredibly detailed write up (11 pages!) and has provided helpful and very quick responses to all of my follow-up questions. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Lorna.

Lorna is amazing, she is very knowledgeable and professional. She is easy to talk to with a great bedside manner and she really listens and understands you and your concerns. Everything was explained really well in the appointment so that I could understand and then it is followed up with documents so all the information is available to read after the appointment. This was really helpful as you are not worried about making notes and can speak freely with Lorna without being worried about getting all the information written down. I really the "Practice Better" app and website Lorna uses, it makes making appointments, messaging and accessing all information really easy and it is all in one place. Thank you Lorna, I am really looking forward to continuing to work with you.

My consultation with Lorna exceeded all expectations, hence 5 stars for everything. She is extremely knowledgable but conveys all the information in a way that can be understood by a non-scientist. My digestive problems started to improve after a very short time.

Since meeting Lorna I have been able to enhance my diet, where I now can each a much larger variety of foods! Lorna is always excellent at explaining the logic behind the digestive system. I find it really reassuring to speak to someone with such great knowledge of Ehlers Danlos, considering there isn’t always much information widely available. Thank you!

Explanation

I was referred to Lorna last year and I cannot express just how grateful I am to her. My quality of life has improved significantly and I truly believe I wouldn't be where I am today without her. I was overwhelmed with all the symptoms arising from EDS, and I have never felt so grounded and optimistic than when speaking with her during my sessions. Her knowledge is exceptional and she has a genuine desire for her patients to thrive and live the best they possibly can. At times when I have struggled to articulate myself, Lorna has been able to quickly grasp the situation and provide support that effectively addresses my needs. Her guidance on diet and pacing day-to-day have been incredibly useful, and I am physically and mentally stronger because of this. I consider myself very lucky to be under Lorna's care, and I would highly reccomend her practice.
