Female, social worker 

I was helping everyone else — and quietly falling apart.”

“I spend my life supporting other people, but behind the scenes my own body was struggling. I was gaining weight rapidly, my heart raced constantly, my blood pressure was high, and my sleep was filled with disturbing, vivid dreams.

I felt trapped in a cycle of anxiety and intense sugar cravings that I couldn’t control. It was exhausting and frightening.

Working through nutrition and lifestyle changes felt surprisingly gentle — yet powerful. Within weeks, my body began to respond. The weight started coming off, my cravings eased, my sleep settled, and the constant sense of panic softened.

When I look back now, I barely recognise the woman I was. I feel calmer, clearer, and far more connected to myself. It’s been life-changing.”

I got my confidence back.”

“Depression had stripped away parts of me I didn’t even realise were gone — my confidence, my motivation, my belief in myself.

The work we did helped me feel grounded again. My energy improved. My mood lifted. I went back to the gym and started trusting myself.

I stopped feeling afraid of relationships and the future.

I feel like I’ve been given my life back.”

I didn’t recognise myself anymore — and now I do.”

“When I reached out, I was angry all the time. Explosive. Exhausted. I felt trapped in my own head and honestly didn’t see a way forward.

What surprised me most was how gently everything shifted. I wasn’t judged or pushed. I finally understood that my body was overwhelmed — not broken.

As my body settled, my mind followed. The anger softened. I started sleeping, training again, and reconnecting with my faith.

I reached a point where I felt strong and stable enough to stand on my own again. That alone speaks volumes.”

For the first time, I felt supported — not sedated.”

“I was exhausted from cycling between coping and crashing. Medication helped, but the side effects made it almost impossible to function in my profession.

Working with Natsayi felt different. It wasn’t about changing my medical care — it was about supporting my body so I could actually live my life.

Small changes had a big impact. My weight dropped, my energy improved, and for the first time, I could stay consistent without fear of relapse.

I finally felt like my body was on my side.”

I felt trapped in my body — and then everything changed.

“I was struggling in ways I didn’t know how to explain. My weight kept increasing, my heart raced, my sleep was full of disturbing dreams, and my cravings controlled me.

I honestly felt stuck — physically and emotionally.

Within weeks of making changes, my body started responding. The weight came down, the cravings quietened, my sleep improved, and I felt calmer in myself.

When I look back at where I was, it feels like a completely different life.”

“I didn’t think I could break that cycle.”

“Alcohol slowly became my coping mechanism — and then my prison. I was tired, ashamed, and scared of where things were heading.

What helped most was the absence of judgment. I was supported step by step — through nutrition, sleep, routine, and emotional grounding.

As my body stabilised, my cravings eased and my clarity returned.

Today, I feel present, hopeful, and in control of my life again.”
