I’ve been living with type 2 diabetes for a few years and finally found a plan that sticks. Alison’s integrated approach — diabetes education, nutrition tweaks, and even herbal medicine ideas — has helped me manage my sugar levels much better. The session in Alderley was clear, practical, and friendly. Highly recommend for anyone in Brisbane North who wants real, doable steps.
Extremely grateful for the insightful guidance from Alison. Her medication management notes were spot on and she explained how each change would help my readings. The nutrition part was practical too, not just theory. If you’re in Queensland and want sensible, evidence-based advice, she’s the one to see near Alderley.
After trying several diet plans, I finally clicked with Alison’s approach. The balance between Western herbal medicine and nutrition advice felt thoughtful and personalised for my lifestyle in Brisbane. My numbers have improved, and I feel more in control day-to-day.
I was sceptical at first, but Alison’s CDE framework and practical meal strategies made a big difference. The session in Alderley covered everything from blood glucose targets to simple recipes. I left feeling relieved and empowered to keep going.
Fantastic support for my diabetes journey. Alison listened attentively and recommended herbal medicine options that fit with my current meds. The nutrition counseling was realistic for a busy mum in Brisbane, and I’ve started seeing steady improvements in my numbers.
I appreciate how clear Alison was about why certain changes would help. The education piece was thorough but easy to understand, and I never felt overwhelmed. If you’re in the Alderley area or nearby, this is worth a visit for genuine, patient-focused care.
What stood out was the personalised plan. Alison combined diabetes education with practical nutrition and safe herbal recommendations. I’ve felt more confident managing my condition since the Brisbane sessions and I’d recommend her to friends looking for holistic but practical care.
