" I first worked with Julie two years ago. At that time I had what you would consider a ‘healthy’ balanced diet but had significant problems with Arthritis that I was taking pain relief for three or four times a week. The combination of yoga and nutrition coaching from Julie helped improve my health, to the extent now that I now seldom need pain relief, I am much more active and have lost weight."
- Paul, Management Consultant, Cheltenham
“I was fortunate to meet with Julie for a personal consultation regarding natural health and nutrition while I was visiting the UK. I found Julie's recommendations to be simple to follow and really practical. I had not realized that much of the fatigue I had been experiencing was due to dehydration and not eating breakfast! She offered sensible and affordable suggestions for nutritional support and dietary adjustments that really brought my energy back! I am now feeling really well with much more strength and stable energy. I am a converted believer in food as medicine and I highly recommend Julie's work.”

“I wanted to thank you again for the advice and remedies you gave me when I was in Wales for my skin condition. A big thank you as my skin has not flared up again.”
- Pauline, Perth, Scotland
“I can really feel the effects of the program working for me. I am sleeping much better, my joints are creaking less. Concentration and energy levels have also improved.”
- David, Teacher, London
“My blood test result is back to normal. Strange but it is a very good thing. I will go soon to France and double check that with my doctor. I wanted to thank you once again for having given me your advice.”
- Barbara, London
“So far, it’s all going well – I’m enjoying having a more hydrated diet, and the skin brushing and hot/cold showering makes a tangible difference to how the lump under my arm feels – it goes down.”
- Alison, Scotland
“I started one to one sessions with Julie about 4 years ago and due to her advice and her beautiful way of passing on information about the body and nutrition I have made many changes to my diet and health. I now put my health and nutrition as top priority. I choose my food and wellbeing activities with greater knowledge and awareness of my body’s needs. As a result I have a lot more energy, stamina and focus. Thanks Julie keep up the good work.”
- Lynne, Marketing Director, Cheshire
“I have been receiving nutritional coaching from Julie for a couple of years now and her advice & input has had a real impact on my life. When I look at my dietary habits and health now and compare them to how they were, the differences are huge. The wonderful thing about the work that Julie does it that it seems to be ever evolving. Julie does not remain stuck and this is of great benefit to the people who have the privilege to work with her. I always feel that the knowledge and information passed onto me by Julie is not only evidence based but also very holistic which I find very inspiring.”
- Marvin, Occupational Therapist and Yoga Teacher, London
“Julie was one of the main people who was there as a constant support throughout my pregnancy. From day one, she fed me brilliant advice about what nutrients I most needed and from which foods we could obtain them. More specifically as my pregnancy progressed and I experienced things like weight loss, kidney stones, tiredness, etc, she was on-hand with balanced, helpful advice that always took into account my own deeper knowing and intuition about what was right or wrong for me at that time. Julie’s knowledge is vast and interweaves so many different approaches; she treats the entire person, not just the physical symptoms and everything comes out of genuine concern. I am truly grateful Julie, for all you haven given me and my baby! Thank you.”
- Laura, Caernarfon
“When I discovered that I was pregnant with my 1st child I went to get Julie’s advice about nutrition for me and my baby. As a breast-feeding Mum, Julie also helped me understand how to stay calm and keep my blood sugar levels stable by regularly taking protein & oils, especially at breakfast, giving me heaps more energy throughout the day.”
- Rika, Netherlands
“I always really enjoy my consultations with Julie – she is extremely knowledgeable and her advice is well-researched and sound. I find her suggestions both practical & effective, and particularly appreciate her realistic approach; she makes sure that you can actually utilise the programme she designs for you – that it will fit into your lifestyle and be enjoyable as well as beneficial!! Following the guidance she gave me definitely improved my diet – and with it my feeling of wellbeing. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a very experienced and caring practitioner.”

“I really want to give the liver a chance this time, so I thought to give you an update. Two days ago I had a really sore throat (still have it a bit) but the virus seems to be going. Think I recover quite quick. Stopped coffee and promoting flax tea here in Holland. My brother is using it now as well, so your talk has worked. As we speak I have my third day of castor oil pack, and haven’t touched bread and cheese….thanks again for all you advice, you have gained a lot of wisdom from which we all can benefit.”
- Jeroen, Netherlands
“I'm doing really well with all the advice you gave me. Slowly I implemented all the bits and pieces. Two weeks ago I did for the first time the footbath with salt. Very nurturing. On the whole I feel much better, more energy and my joints are almost not painful anymore. For the first time I realise that I'm not a slave to food anymore. Since 2003 I lost 26 kg, and I weigh now 90 kg, and now I know I'm able to go further to a healthy weight my body wants. So only 10-15 kg to lose, which seems no problem at all. So thanks very much to you and all the people at dru who give good nutritional advice. Its working!”

“Everyone is doing really well and the support that has come from the team for each other is amazing. My colleague commented that he has never seen such a dramatic change in behavior following a “training session” ever in a management team!! Thanks.”

“Nutritionist Julie Hotchkiss has guided me with wise advice during my 7 years of working at Dimensions Health Store and I'm pleased to say that my efforts have paid off. I'm feeling great.....and completed the Llandudno 10 in an excellent time, despite never having run a mile before in my life. Now I’m going for the Snowdonia Marathon!”

‘I have been taking the Barley Grass 2 or 3 times a day for 10 months now, it has helped me unbelievably as a body builder. My physique is stronger fitter and healthier because of it. I have no pain in my joints at all – it’s very powerful stuff! Being a top body builder means that you have to be in shape, there’s no room for flaws to be one of the best you have to work so hard. It's not just training its eating and getting plenty of rest, the guys who train with me know I can go, I have that reputation and it comes from eating sleeping and training well and believing I can do it!'
