Testimonials

Andrea has been a very mindful and supportive guide and has helped me navigate through a major bereavement as well as chronic M.E and FM which flared and stuck due to that loss. Her knowledge of homeopathy is second to none and the remedies have literally put me back on my feet and walking again after three years of disability. I cannot recommend Andrea highly enough, and rest assured that you are in gentle and very professional hands with Andrea as your guide.

I had suffered from eczema covering most of my body for 25 years, in that time I have tried many different treatments. Initially I went to my doctor who gave me a moisturizer, then steroid creams that would work in the short term but my eczema would always become resistant and then a stronger cream was prescribed. At one point I was on the strongest cream available and my eczema was worse than ever, I was getting around 6 skin infections a year which meant courses of oral steroids and antibiotics too. I spent quite a few weeks bedridden, unable to walk and in intense pain 24 hours a day at which point I was referred to a specialist at the Royal United Hospital in Bath. They did a patch test on my back testing the skin against certain allergens but even the skin under the plaster holding it on reacted, so that told us nothing. I also tried an elimination diet but that didn’t reveal anything either. Eventually I was given UV light treatment which temporarily worked, it taught me the importance and healing ability of sunlight. After two courses of UV light treatment ( the second one being less effective ) the skin specialist wanted to put me on medication for the rest of my life which was something I wasn’t keen on once I’d heard the possible extreme/ life threatening side effects, it would have also meant having a blood test every month for life. I decided to look elsewhere for help.

It was then I started looking into complementary treatments, over the next 10 years I tried Acupuncture, Reflexology, Kinesiology as well as fasting, juicing, cutting out refined sugar etc and generally trying to improve overall health and fitness levels. All these things helped to some degree but none actually healed the eczema to a noticeable level.

I heard about Andrea through a friend who was currently being treated by her and thought I would book an appointment. Eight months later and my eczema has completely gone, I stopped using steroid cream completely at 6 months after starting treatment and it was a noticeable decline from about 3 months in. At the first appointment ( late October 2020 ) Andrea asked me a lot of questions that a GP wouldn’t even think to ask, things about my past and my personality, major events in my life and how I am emotionally etc. She took a lot of notes and was very thorough, it was a very relaxed discussion which lasted much longer than the 10 minute slot you get with a GP, and for good reason because of the amount of depth she went into to really get a feel for who I was. She also warned me that once I had taken the remedy I might get a skin flare up but that it would be temporary and followed by healing. She was absolutely right and after the flare up the skin really got better! In fact only two months after my first appointment it was Christmas 2020 and it was the first one in many many years where I didn’t have eczema all over my hands and I could eat the usual unhealthy Christmas diet and see the eczema not reacting at all, as well as not getting an infection over the period at any point, I was so pleased by such a noticeable change. At this point, in June 2021, I’ve recently taken the remedy again because I am currently getting a little flare up that I expected mid summer. So far though since October 2020, I’ve taken the remedy three times and every time I have seen a huge improvement in the skin that holds. With every dose my skin improves and never goes back to being as bad as it was at the point when the previous remedy was taken! I am a million miles from where I was in October 2020 on that first appointment.

ADDITIONAL: On the 18th October 2022 ( still 100% eczema free ) I was prescribed some very powerful antibiotics for 1 month, it was for a very serious internal infection. They worked but during the course I noticed the return of the eczema. It wasn’t anywhere near as bad as before and I contacted Andrea for an appointment in November, once I had finished the antibiotics. This time a different remedy was given as she believed the origin of the problem was different. Due to the antibiotic’s strength it meant that my body had really taken quite a hit and was slow to react but it did react and over time began to heal again. After around 3 months Andrea suggested taking the original remedy again as a boost and once again I was eczema free.

June 2023 I was working with a group of people who all used vapes, I very foolishly started using one for a few weeks and quickly stopped when I saw the eczema return once more! Again I contacted Andrea, made and appointment and a remedy was given. The vaping has had a noticeable effect on my health even months later despite it only being for a short time but the remedy started working shortly after taking it ( including an initial flare up ) about 3 weeks until noticeable healing. Whilst I still have a few little patches of eczema it is much better than it was immediately after stopping vaping and I am still in contact with Andrea with the hope that after a couple more treatments I’ll be back to my normal eczema free condition.

I highly recommend Andrea Dell, she is easy to talk to, completely non-judgmental with a very down to earth attitude and is very thorough and considered when making a diagnosis. Her Homeopathy has already helped me more than any of the treatments I tried previously and is the only one that resulted in me being eczema free for periods of time longer than a year. She is a very skilled and knowledgeable homeopath.

The treatment has honestly improved my life drastically. I used to simply exist and dread even waking up in the morning but now I feel like I have motivation and energy at the starts of my days. I feel like I’m living and I want to get up now, I want to face the day and whatever it may bring. My anxiety used to control my life and limited everything, I was unable to even talk in class but now I can do presentations and lead class discussions. I’ve re discovered not only myself but my love for everyday life despite how mundane it may be. Andrea and her work has changed my life for the better. Without her help I don’t think I would’ve got through not only the school year but all my exams, the ups and downs of friendship groups and even entering new stages in my life. Even my friends have noticed how much more at ease and comfortable I am with myself, and it feels great. I’m able to ride the waves of life without overthinking and stressing too much. I passed all my GCSEs, waiting the results of my A levels and currently applying to university!
As well as treating my anxiety, Andrea had also treated my eczema which is a lot better but it does sometimes still flares up at really stressful times like exams. I also struggle with my menstrual cycle and would have extreme pain and sickness during the first few days but due to the treatment this has highly improved the debilitating pain has now become something I can cope with and continue my daily life whereas before it would disrupt my entire week, causing me to miss out on days of my education. Now it’s only one day I struggle with pain. I would highly recommend Andrea Dell of Wiltshire Homeopathy.

I had a few health issues (principally psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis but also some other skin issues and a few recent allergic reactions) and conventional medicine only seemed to offer drugs to manage the symptoms. I was wondering what else I could do and considered homeopathy but wasn’t sure how to find someone I could have confidence in. A friend recommended Andrea and she’s been great. She explores the underlying issues and then helps you to address them rather than just the symptoms. So, about 15 months on I have improved substantially. No more allergic reactions, reduced inflammation, more energy and better mobility. She’s fun to work with too. Can’t ask for much more than that!

I would like to recommend Andrea Dell as an excellent practitioner of homeopathy.
In the autumn of 2020 at the height of the pandemic I awoke to find my fingers swollen and painful. Over the following month the pain spread over my whole body.

During this time Covid restrictions meant visiting a GP was difficult, hospital departments were not functioning. After four months I saw a GP who sent me to the rheumatology department. A series of blood tests and X-rays two months later indicated rheumatoid arthritis. However the only treatment offered necessitated taking highly toxic drugs for the rest of my life which had originally been manufactured as chemotherapy treatments. I failed to see how this treatment could help me and decided to avoid it for as long as possible while exploring other avenues. It was eighteen months later I travelled to Bath to see Andrea. I was very weak, in a lot of discomfort and pain and feeling physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted. I had by this time tried a number of alternative and complimentary treatments. Nothing had helped me and I did not automatically believe a homeopath would help me either.

For two years now I have taken homeopathic remedies and I feel stronger and able to function again. There is still some way to go, on a scale of one to ten, one being the worst point of the illness and ten being as fit as I was before its onset, I have reached nine. Chronic illness is a multilevel event and I believe it was brought about by many years of physical and mental debility. I had a stressful job as a registered nurse, I lived in Central London, which was a very stressful city, and I was dealing with complex and emotionally difficult personal problems. All of these factors coupled with my own personality, physical body and emotional make up, culminated in a serious illness.

The remedies began to heal the underlying emotional and physical causes which led to the development of rheumatoid arthritis. For me the treatment was a journey into the conscious uncovering of subconscious fears, resentments, anger and grief. They were the leftover shadows of traumatic situations and emotions that I had not consciously recognised. The various remedies involved a measure of perseverance, some worked more quickly than others. I changed and confronted some of the conditions that had led to the onset of physical illness and I began to accept more fully those things I couldn’t change.
In addition to taking the remedies I built up my physical strength with an almost ruthless determination to eliminate areas of unnecessary stress. I paid a lot of attention to my diet and sleep, I slept whenever I was tired. While I was recovering I was unable to go out, the external world shrank and my internal world expanded. Bit by bit the world came back into focus again.

The remedies were like a boat that takes you safely to the other side of a river. I cannot recommend not listening to medics or failing to take advantage of modern medicine. There is an important place for orthodox medicine. However it does not have a good record for all ailments and has some severe limitations in my opinion. There are no absolute guarantees in any medical system whether its conventional treatment or alternative and complimentary treatments. I only know from my own experience that homeopathy in the right hands can be enormously beneficial.
When the illness was at its worst and the raging storms of severe debility and despair were all around, Andrea and the remedies were like a shelter from that storm. I am extremely grateful to Andrea for her help and skill.
