  My 12yr old son and I both saw Ben. He was so helpful for my son in giving him great guidance and assurance around his health and also spiritual wisdom, particularly at a vulnerable age of change.

We both really enjoyed having the live blood tests and getting to see the condition of our bloods. I was really impressed with the range of products he makes and supplies and found him very kind, understanding, helpful and professional in his business. Overall we had a great experience.
