1. "I came to see Daphne after starting my menopause. At the time I was having a lot of problems and the advice and remedies that I was given helped me enormously. It was a great relief to have someone with whom I could talk things over". J.R.

2. "I had tried everything, from HRT to various herbs and potions from my local health shop and nothing helped. I found Daphne's website and e-mailed her my menopausal symptoms. We have spoken on the phone several times and although I have never met Daphne I feel that we are friends. She is a very good listener and helped to calm my fears and anxieties and the homeopathic remedies she sent certainly made a big difference. I would heartily recommend her services". C.H.

3. "I had been feeling miserable with menopause weight gain, severe hot flushes and depression. Just talking to Daphne on the phone was such a relief, to know you are not alone and the natural remedies she suggested were a great help." D.S.

4. "I contacted Daphne because my menopause was causing me problems at work and at home. Her help changed so many things in my life. I had become sick of being a doormat for my husband and grown up son and working full-time in a job that caused me frustration.

Through talking things through with Daphne, taking her advice on supplments, homeopathic remedies and learning to 'speak out' to my husband and other members of my family, I could feel myself changing into a completely different person. Daphne is a very good listener, doesn't judge and I found I could not only tell her things I hadn't told anyone before but also have a jolly good laugh with her, which acted as a release. I now have a different career, one that I enjoy, my husband and I are getting on a lot better and even my children treat me with respect now." D.O.

5. " When I was first in touch with Daphne I was a mess. I felt continually tired, had lank greasy hair and my energy was at rock bottom. My GP had prescribed HRT but it didn't agree with me at all. Within a few months of seeing Daphne my life had turned around. A big plus for me was that I had suffered from urinary incontinence for years and her homeopathic medicine completely stopped that, as well as fixing my menopausal symptoms." B.W.

6. "I can thoroughly recommend Daphne as an excellent homeopath. She is experienced and very knowledgeable; her background in mental health makes her a good listener and gives her a clear insight into human nature. Her diagnostic skills do not rely on meeting clients in person. I have been a client of Daphne's for over six years and for the past three years my consultations have taken place over the phone as I now live in West Wales and Daphne lives in Cornwall.

I was originally recommended to her when I began suffering from menopausal symptoms which responded well to the remedies she recommended and I'm happy to say are no longer a problem, apart from the occasional 'warm' flush. I telephone Daphne when I require further remedies or I have a concern I wish to ask her advice about. The remedies arrive within a few days and have always arrived safely.

7. "I went to see Daphne because I was getting symptoms of early menopause, night sweats, waking up tired and lethargic and awful mood swings. I had no idea it was the menopause because I was only 43 at the time and hadn't been for any tests.. It was such a relief to understand at last what was happening and to receive help. I am so thankful as her treatment helped me enormously." K.B.
