Hashimoto's Thyroiditis & working with multiple doctors/ specialists
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis some years ago. Unfortunately, this was before thyroid problems were widely accepted and taken seriously. I was extremely ill with this, and in my efforts to get better, I was forced not only to move from practitioner to practitioner, but to stay too long with ones who couldn’t help much because I didn’t have an alternative.
I felt like a guinea pig for many years, and some practitioners I saw made my health much worse due to lack of knowledge, and lack of addressing my concerns. Not only did I have to cope with my original illness, but with lasting side-effects from ill-advised treatments.
I did everything I was supposed to. I saw the recommended specialists, I did the recommended treatments. I was both desperate and diligent, but if one is not being helped by the correct people, it is of little use.
I began seeing Elysia in 2012, and my health has improved more rapidly under Elysia’s care than with any other practitioner.
Elysia listens, and more than that, she comprehends what you tell her. She is highly knowledgeable, willing to research new ideas and always open to questions; she never makes you feel foolish for any query or comment. She works with you in whichever way suits you best.
I have found her to be an excellent co-ordinator, in both her readiness to work with other specialists, and her ability to keep the big picture in mind. Her approach has ensured that my health issues are no longer being addressed piecemeal by practitioners who never talk to one another, and never co-ordinate treatment.
Most people have stories of seeing health practitioners who do not listen, and disregard the patient’s thoughts and experiences. Elysia is the opposite of this. She is the practitioner I always wished for, but didn’t believe existed.

Pregnancy after many years of failed IVF and fertility treatments
Hi Elysia
How can we ever thank you enough for not only the care you have given us, but the miracle outcome of being able to fall pregnant.
After many years of IVF / ICSI, many tests, many doctors experimenting on us and trying to work out why we couldn't fall pregnant with medical intervention our last resort was 'give up'. Let's face it, all you need is one sperm and one egg and hey, everyone else seemed to be able to fall pregnant - but we baffled the medical world and they left us feeling helpless. Luigi and I had all but given up hope that we would be able to have our own family one day, and then my sister gave me your phone number and told me to get healthy!
Before speaking with you I felt like I was healthy....or healthy enough, but you took the time to ensure we were eating correctly and asked the question 'how are you feeling' and yes, when you delve into it a little further there were many issues relating to our diet and many health problems that seemed minor, but were fixed with a change in diet. You said to me "my first aim is to get you feeling healthy and well". Many times I heard from local naturopaths, iridologists, doctors and specialists "let's help you fall pregnant", but not one of them was worried about my health or how well i felt! You got us feeling fit and healthy and you put together a special fertility diet, herbs and vitamins for us. You provided us with a wealth of information on our fertility condition and it took one simple test (that the medical world missed) to figure out why we were having so much trouble!
Within 3 - 4 months of speaking with you, taking the vitamins you sent to us, and following the program you put together for us, we found out that we were pregnant!
Elysia, we can not thank you enough for all you have done for us and the support you have provided. It's been so easy having the phone consultant due to our location and the vitamins sent right to our door. Luigi and I appreciate the time you have taken answering our emails and helping us through what was a really difficult time.
I will definitely be spreading the word on how you have helped us!
Kind Regards

Sinus and Hayfever
I have suffered hayfever/sinus infections for years. Blood & Skin tests confirmed that I am not allergic to anything specific, I just have intolerances and my sinus is affected by seasonal changes and barometric pressure. Conventional medicines, like nasal sprays, were not assisting to combat to the issues long term, so I realised I needed to try something different.
I started seeing Elysia in February this year. I have changed some minor aspects of my diet and taken some wonderful herbs, that to date, have assisted in ensuring that I have had no sinus infections since 2010 - a stark difference to last year when I suffered from 3 infections alone.
The biggest change has been my level of immunity. A few weeks ago I picked up a sore throat virus that lasted a few days, but didn't progress any further. Without a doubt, if the same thing happened last year I know it would have been another round of antibiotics.
Elysia - Thankyou, thankyou thankyou - I can't thankyou enough!

Detox for weight loss and energy
Hello Vibe Natual Health,
Finished my two week detox. Interesting experience. Felt yucky on day 3 and a bit tired in the first week. 2nd week felt much better. I lost 3 kg , which is really amazing. Week 3 , slowly introduced caffeine, dairy and carbs, I have noticed that milk doesnt agree with me, which is interesting so will stay on soy and rice milk for a while. I also realised that I dont eat enough vegies, so will ensure I maintain a healthy balance. Overall, really pleased with Vibes detox and additional herbs. What a great way to start 2012.! My insides must be jumping for joy too. Many thanks to Vibe for all your encouragement and fabulous menus.
PS my husband also joined in and he too lost 3 kg.

Detox and healthy eating
Day #2 of the detox and both me and my fiance are doing ok. We now cook together, pack our lunches together and keep motivated together but mostly due to scrumptious recipes and great support from the Vibe team. Reading everyone’s comments keeps us working hard to better health. Cheers Natural Health! My insides will be thanking you.

Improved energy, weight loss and performance at the gym
So, it’s the start of the 5th day of my DETOX & ELIMINATION DIET. Last night was hard. I watched while my friends drank vino, gin & tonic, & beers…I drank sparkling water with a wedge of lime. My friends ate the good stuff on the menu whilst I was limited to 1 dish.
But it’s going great: I feel good. I wake up feeling good straight away. I perform better at the gym & I sleep better. My clothes are fitting me better & so far I’ve lost 3 kgs!!!!! I guess all the preparation, strong will-power & 3-4 L of water per day have been good for something….I’m getting my mojo back
).
Thanks Elysia!!!
