Overweight
Jill Piercy used commonsense backed by
erudition to help me lose just over 21
pounds. The commonsense is reassuring
and the erudition helps you understand
how your metabolism works. Following her
regime of sensible, balanced meals, exercise
and supplements, with individually-devised
herbal assistance for health problems,
I also lowered by blood pressure and enormously
improved both my self-esteem and my attitude
to life. Elizabeth Proud,

Lack of Energy
I was very low in energy and a friend
recommended that I visit Jill. I also
had a very short menstrual cycle and problems
with my digestion (amongst other things).
I have been seeing Jill for almost a year
and I am amazed at how much better I feel.
I am so grateful to Jill for all her help
and support.
I now have quite a lot of energy and enthusiasm
for life. I feel excited about all the
things I can now do. It's fantastic and
I can hardly believe it! I wake up feeling
excited at what the day may bring instead
of feeling depressed and having to drag
myself out of bed. I am also a lot more
balanced emotionally for the first time
in my life. I can honestly say I have
never felt better!

Endometriosis
In May 2002 my health was to change
dramatically after 18 years.
In 1998 after years of battling with
Doctors I was diagnosed with Endometriosis.
My health up until then was dominated
by my periods and beyond that time the
pain and symptoms of endo continued. 4
operations later and still no let up.
I was so totally crippled by pain in March
and April of this year that I took the
decision to stop work: either I took control
of my health and situation now, or risk
spending the next 18 years with the same
experiences. This was not an option.
My symptoms at this stage had reached
a definite debilitating pattern; painful
ovulation resulting in mid-cycle bleeding,
swollen breasts, water retention, severe
back pain, period pains, nausea which
almost certainly led to sickness and diarrhoea
on the first day, with more than likely
a fainting spell and then pain like no
other; in probably 9 out of 10 periods
I would be bed bound for at least two
days. In some months the bleeding would
be so heavy that at times I feared I was
experiencing a miscarriage. Most months
I prayed for this to take place at the
weekend in order that it would not have
an effect on my "normal life".
This was no longer "normal".
I took time out to research the best route
possible. I no longer had any faith in
conventional medicine, 4 operations had
not made any difference and I felt that
further risk was getting greater. At 32
I realised if the option was still available
to me to have children I wanted to take
that - time was running out. I was then
introduced to Jill Piercy: an hour's consultation
and I already felt I had made the right
choice. Instead of somebody handing me
over a packet of pills, or writing off
to send me to hospital to meet yet another
gynaecologist, Jill took down details
of all my symptoms and my lifestyle up
until the point of being in that consultation
room. Her approach was calm, friendly
and what stood out was her confidence
in being able to work with me to resolve
my symptoms. Nobody had ever said to me
"what I want to try and do is balance
your hormones rather then replace them".
Simple but in 6 months of working with
Jill recently I was able to admit with
the greatest of thanks to Jill that for
the first time in my life I feel I am
in control of my periods not the other
way around. Rachel

Skin
Disorders
Acne
How Jill saved my skin
I developed mild acne due to a number
of reasons (hormones, stress, generally
overdoing it), and decided to treat it
alternatively as I did not agree with
putting harsh chemicals on my skin, as
my GP had instructed me to do. Both Jill's
remedy and advice made a lot more sense
to me as she examined all aspects of what
was going on in my life, and tried to
tackle the root of what was causing my
skin complaint. Jill's remedy worked amazingly,
and after three months of taking it, along
with cutting out certain foods, and being
more aware of my diet, the spots on my
forehead virtually disappeared. Jill also
helped me to come to terms with my skin
complaint and be patient for it to go,
as it was a condition that had a deep
impact on my emotions. She was very supportive!!
Six months on and my skin is a lot clearer,
and most importantly, the acne is not
coming back, which is what I and countless
others experience when using conventional
methods of acne control. Leah Hurlihy,

Digestive Problems
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
I was experiencing severe bloating and
pains in the stomach, when a friend recommended
that I see Jill. After an hour-long consultation
Jill discussed the treatment options with
me and recommended a few simple changes
to my diet, in conjunction with herbs
and flower essences. The results were
almost instantaneous. My energy levels
increased, my stomach decreased in size
and the pain went away. I found Jill to
be very professional, accurate and compassionate
in her approach to my problem. Jennifer

Migraine
I have been experiencing crippling migraine pain for over 17 years. In the 8
weeks that I have been taking herbal medicine I have noticed the greatest effect
ever on my health; my headaches are weaker and less frequent and I no longer
need to waste 3 days of my life just to get over one headache. The effect of the
herbs has reached beyond my migraine and I have noticed an increased level of
energy and a more balanced emotional state. I feel good and want to keep feeling
this way – it is thanks to Jill that I do.

Back Pain
I have suffered with back problems
on and off over the last four years. Two
years ago I injured my back playing volleyball.
I was unable to walk for two weeks. That
was when I started having regular massage
with Jill. Since then I have had no more
problems; my back has become much more
flexible and I can stand for long periods
without experiencing any pain - something
I could not do before. I still remain
very active, playing volleyball and dancing
several times a week. I am certain that
this would not be possible without my
regular treatments with Jill.
