Testimonials

What people say?

I can't recommend Silke at Feelgood Factor enough! I have been under her wonderful care for the past year since I suffered a nasty accident to my leg which has left me needing ongoing treatment. Silke is warm, friendly and very professional. She puts me at ease every time I see her, and I always feel like a new woman after leaving her clinic. Her balance of knowledge, advice and guidance along with her friendliness is amazing. After having one of her treatments I not only feel physically better but leave with a massive smile on my face. I can't thank you enough for everything you have done for me, Silke, and recommend anyone and everyone to use you. You definitely live up to the name of Feelgood Factor and I continue to be grateful to be under your care.

After 5 sessions my 8year old daughter made such a visable progress! Thank you so much!

We've both had treatments with Silke at Feelgood Factor. One for a back problem and the other for migraines and can't recommend her highly enough. She's not only a fabulous healer who is warm, knowledgeable and experienced but always leaves us smiling from ear to ear. Go see her if you need sorting out. I'd have no idea why you'd go anywhere else. This woman is a genius.
