NUTRITIONAL THERAPY COMES TO THE BODY CLINIC
We are delighted to welcome a new member of staff Monica McCusker – the Body Clinics own Nutritional Therapist. She joined in February 2010 and will be providing a range of services and packages for our current and any new clients wishing to attend the Clinic.
Monica trained as a nutritional therapist after many years working as a researcher in the pharmaceutical industry. Her current belief is that food is better than medicine to help most common illnesses; however she works in an integrated fashion with those on prescribed medication. In the past Monica suffered with fatigue, acne, bloating, catarrh, hormonal and mood imbalances. She noted a massive improvement in both her physical and emotional symptoms, once she made simple changes to her own diet. It was this transformation in her own health that was the stimulus for her re-training as a Nutritional Therapist in 2003.
