TESTIMONIALS

Fiona Lewis is a rare find in a health practioner. Someone who combines what is evidently a deep understanding and ability to administer chiro and acupuncture with a gift of somehow tapping into her patient's psyche and thereby go along way to alleviating physical malfunctions of the body but also where necessary to heal the patient's soul. Her willingness to show compassion and offer advice across a wide spectrum of alternative and natural health remedies (including diet), makes her consultations all the more valuable. I recommend Fiona Lewis to anybody seeking complimentary or alternative medicine.

For the past 20 years I have needed Chiropractic treatment for my neck after a horse riding accident left me with terrible headaches from my neck being out of alignment. Therefore ,
for the past 20 years I have been to many chiropractors to find the “right” one for me. I have
been a regular patient of Fiona Lewis for 5 years now and I have never been to a chiropractor that can adjust me as well as Fiona does. Thanks Fiona!

My daughter is 5 years old and has some serious medical issues, she had heart surgery at 2 months old and the doctors went through her back through her ribs. Before I started taking her
for Chiropractic treatment she was in pain and could hardly lift her arms up. She also could not walk until she was three and half years old and would constantly sit in a “W” position and her hips would become irritated and cause her pain. She has been a regular patient of Fiona’s since she was a baby and I can honestly say that she has improved dramatically from regular treatment by Fiona. Thanks Fiona!

Several months after taking up jogging to improve fitness levels, I developed lower back pain.
I put up with the pain for a while thinking stretching and technique deficiencies were to blame.
After hearing positive reports of Fiona's therapeutic abilities, I finally overcame my scepticism
of so called 'alternative therapies' and visited her. I experienced relief with the first visit, after two weeks I felt great... a month later, I felt fantastic. Not only had my jogging and associated pains improved, but my health, spirit and general well-being was also vastly enhanced.
Other ailments which I had learnt to live with and treat reactively through medication have also improved - sinuses have cleared, indigestion/reflux has disappeared and headaches are now a rarity. It is amazing how incredibly simple it is to dramatically enhance one's life.... and I truly
look forward to continued therapy with Fiona."

"I managed a small thoroughbred stud near Sydney, which carried spelling racehorses, weanlings and sales yearlings. Fiona was first approached to help a race filly that was often lame and not fulfilling her potential, and  the vets could not source the problem. After a couple of treatments
with Fiona, who had promptly diagnosed the problem, she was sent back to her trainer and has successfully competed at Listed level on the track, and is still in training. Since then, I have had
my weanlings, and expensive sale yearlings treated by Fiona, and am more than happy with the results. Not only are they growing correctly and walking truly, they are much happier animals,
and easier to deal with. I would fully recommend Fiona's chiropractic approach with anyone's horses; she has a keen eye, a quiet, gentle nature that horses respond to, and gets results."

Fiona treated Mean Beans after pulling up short in front after an unimpressive track gallop where he was inclined to lift his head going to the line. We could find no heat or swelling. Fiona found
that he was stiff in his shoulders, chest area and neck as well as minor lower back ailments.
She treated these areas. The improvement in Mean Beans was rapid with his action returning as well as his attitude to work. By watching the relief Beans felt I have no doubt Fiona has helped in his longevity and race results – to date he has had 2 seconds following Fiona’s treatments.
He is still in this preparation and Fiona is continuing treatment. Also I have a better understanding of where mean beans is feeling discomfort.

'My 3 year old King Charles Spaniel, Curtis, suffered from respiratory (snoring) difficulties that caused discomfort for the dog and inconvenience for the family. I was referred to Fiona by my Acupuncurist, Nicola Marishel, and we made an appointment for a consultation. During the appointment I was impressed by Fionas attention to detail, professionalism and willingness
to assist. I felt immediately comfortable with her approach and felt confident that she would not only identify the problem but resolve it. I was amazed that after only 2 appointments my spaniel had significantly improved, and after 3 appointments the problem had been resolved.
This was 4 years ago and my spaniel continues to be symptom free.'

'I wish to extend my thanks to you for your care and attention to my darling Deco. 
The chiropractic and acupuncture work you have done on him during his old age has been invaluable in minimizing his arthritic discomfort and muscle loss as a result of his old age.
I particularly note the last time I brought him to you just before he died, the change in him
was remarkable - he was happier, wanted to eat and I knew he was much more comfortable
in his body. I also thank you from the bottom of my heart for your loving care and empathic connection to both him and me.

'At only a few months old our beloved Bosley fell from our bed one morning, and strained his hind leg badly in the process. Bosley had an x-ray and the vet informed us that he had a spinal injury in his lower back. We were told that all would be well, and that he would simply heal over time, as he was such a young puppy. He then started to deteriorate both physically and mentally. He developed a limp and would sometimes collapse and be unable to walk, and we would have to carry him.
It was obvious that he was in a great deal of pain. He became depressed, lethargic, withdrawn,
and sensitive to touch. He changed from being a happy go lucky boy into a puppy we didn't recognise. We tried every type of standard medical treatment, and advise, but nothing seemed
to work, and we felt helpless.

Our vet referred us to Fiona for acupuncture. We were skeptical of such a complex problem being resolved through acupuncture but we were willing to try anything. We took Bosley to Fiona for treatments about once to twice a week in the first month and we surprisingly started to see significant changes in our Bosley. By the second month he had almost fully recovered and we had our lovely Bosley back. Bosley's personality changed and we could see he was no longer in pain.
He was energetic, happy, gregarious and became very affectionate once again. Physically he had greater stamina, strength, flexibility and was doing things he couldn't previously do. We were astounded by these results and so thankful to Fiona for what she did for our beautiful boy.

We would highly recommend Fiona as Bosley adored her. Fiona seemed to have a natural affinity with animals. She was also very professional and personable with us and we were more than happy to provide her with a testimonial of her good work.'

For our family, which of course includes our pet as the major member, it has been a delight and
a godsend to have met Fiona. We have been fortunate to experience regular, sometimes fortnightly, acupuncture treatments and we do believe that these have contributed to the stable and good health of Rocky, who had been a very unwell dog for his first five years due to an auto immune issue of his particular breed (Sharpei). Of course changing his diet to that of all natural
and organic set his recovery in motion, but as Fiona has taught us, acupuncture works in harmony with the laws of nature and creature nourishment.
It is as if Rocky understands that each treatment is good for him as he stands motionless for
each 20 minute session. After each visit, he is always so relaxed for hours on end. We can only recommend her expertise, professional manner and compassion to any animal lover hoping
to cure or support any ailing vital system of their pet or for that of well being.

“When my Doberman, aged 7, was diagnosed with the incurable disease ‘Wobblers’, Fiona was interested enough to visit the vet at Sydney University to check out his X-Rays. With Acupuncture, manipulation and some cortisone, we kept him comfortable for the next two years.  Fiona is currently keeping an eye on Doberman and Border Collie puppies, as prevention is better than cure.
The animals respond very well to Fiona as she is a gentle and caring person and her knowledge
of Animals is excellent.”

"Thomas is a 19 year old thoroughbred, six months out of a riding school. I was concerned about ongoing stiffness in his back. Massage relieved the symptoms but not the cause. Two acupuncture sessions with Fiona and the results were obvious. He now moves a lot freer, is more flexible along the back and neck and is behaving like a horse half his age. Fiona also recommended supplements for his muscles and joints and he has since started on these. People have commented about how healthy and happy he looks. Acupuncture will become a regular part of Thomas' overall program."
