Meet our practitioners

We have two practitioners at Homefield Grange who are qualified to carry out the Dietary Intolerance Testing. They have been with the team for many years and have helped hundreds of clients.

“Clients often come to us with unexplained symptoms and suspicions about food that they are intolerant to. They feel better when they identify foods causing an issue. Simply cutting the food out of their diet for 2 months and gradually reintroducing the food that they are intolerant to does a world of good”

“I … had a lovely consultation with Judy about food intolerance. She helped me to understand the effects of the wrong foods on my health. Good advice that will help me to continue looking after myself outside of my visit to the retreat.”
