For the last 3 years, I had slowly seen the deterioration in my daughter, constantly tired chest infection after chest infection and needing more and more antibiotics.

In fact I had more energy than her and at 24 she should have been so fit. At university she would weigh up going out with her friends against paying the price later with yet another chest infection and being totally exhausted, not normal in someone so young.

In July 2018 she got the devastating diagnosis of Bronchiectasis a condition usually seen in patients of 50yrs and over, where there is widening of the lung structures which creates excess mucus and the increased risk of chest infections and can be life limiting.

When she saw Tania in July 2018 she got the devastating diagnosis of Bronchiectasis a condition usually seen in patients of 50yrs and over and is where there is widening of the lung structures which creates excess mucus and the increased risk of chest infections February and told her about everything Tania was 100% confident she could restore her immunity which had been weakened the excessive antibiotics. I desperately wanted to believe her but as this really was our only hope I was cautious about this success rate.

Within days of starting the supplements the difference in energy levels was amazing and now 2 months later she managing to have a social life as well as working and making plans for weekends and holidays. The promise of restored immunity has happened I am so grateful to Tania quite simply we have our daughter back.

Thank you so much Tania

I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of getting a colonic… and after going on a bit of a health kick I decided to give it a try to help me lose some weight. Understandably nervous when I first arrived, Tanya made me feel so welcome and Vibrant’s entire “vibe” if you will puts you at ease, the cleanliness of the place, the professionalism, the friendliness, I instantly felt at ease.

As we got started Tanya asked me some questions linked to the medical questionnaire I’d completed before coming – which I’d put I had no digestive problems whatsoever, no bloating, ibs, nothing, everything was fine… or so I thought!

The amount of air pockets coming out was unbelievable, which showed just how bloated I actually was but strangely enough didn’t even realise! It’s just something I’d learnt to live with for years. Through having a consultation with Tanya I realised just how many of my health problems were linked to my digestive system, from athletes foot, to low moods, the list could go on! I’d also been away on holiday and having animals in the house, all my symptoms were pointing to having something parasitic in my system. Which sounds terrifying doesn’t it! Luckily enough, there are way to get rid of them. Tanya talked me through what she was doing all the way through the treatment so I knew what was happening, it is the strangest feeling in the world but the whole process of having the colonic does not hurt at all! The tube going in is uncomfortable but quick and painless, the whole process is a strange feeling but not painful.

After the treatment I felt instantly better – which is strange as I didn’t even feel “bad” before. Tanya gave me some vitamins and supplements to help tackle all the different elements we’d discussed and was told to take them for 3 months. Two weeks in I wasn’t really sure I was feeling a difference, but my husband and I went away for the weekend and I left my supplements behind, and by day 2 of being away I was feeling awful! I didn’t realise the difference they were making until I was without them.

I think what I loved most about going to vibrant was the aftercare treatment. It would be easy for Tanya to tell me to keep getting colonics to help clear my system but the supplements are what’s going to tackle the problem and I’m in month 2 now and still feeling fab. Whenever I have a question about anything, she is on hand to answer and help me. It is without a doubt one of the best things I’ve ever done and feel better in my body than I’ve felt in years!

Without sounding dramatic, the very fact that I am here and able to write this testamonial is thanks to Tania.

Having been left to suffer, physically, emotionally and mentally by the NHS I have at least been able to call on Tania for help in getting me through some truly dark times.

Prior to 2014 I had a combination of bowel related problems (probably stemming from a case of severe food poisoning in 1997 / 8 and several car accidents in my early twenties). However, i was able to manage my symptoms (generally bloating on the right had side – ileocecal valve not opening properly, difficulty getting waste away / feeling of incomplete evacuation).

A procedure to ‘make me better’ was carried out in 2014, and lets just say that I should be taking the NHS to court for mis-selling. The procedure had the complete opposite effect a dn gave me a hold load of other problems to deal with. Now instead of IBS (which is what the NHS call it when they don’t know what the problem(s) are, i have severe Obstructive Defaecation Syndrome, which is, not other way of putting it, HORRIFIC. Its like trying to poo behind two closed doors – you feel the waste there, but it doesn’t come out.

I’m not going into details, but suffice to say the things that I have to do just to get through each day are…………well, no human being should have to do them.

Tania has been there for me, getting me in at short notice for colonics (the alternative being going to hospital to be told, yes, impacted, take a load of laxatives and enemas (which make the tight muscles even tighter)), or even just dismissed and told go away, its just IBS or all in your head!!!!!

She has been helping me on and off since she opened Vibrant, whether this be via a colonic, a phone call or a text or email to advise and reassure me. We’ve not always seen eye to eye on things, but sometimes that is because i have found it difficult to take an objective view of my symptoms, and it is so easy to panic and throw money at every treatment and supplement available.

Tania has never (in my opinion) looked at the financial aspect and though, here we are, have lots of colonics and take lots of my supplements. She has used her experience and knowledge to advise when treatments are a good idea, when they are not, and what supplements will help and hat to avoid if getting them from elsewhere.

For me, a colonic is not the same as for most other people – it can almost make the situation worse as the water does not simply drain away as with ost people. Think of my problem as someone standing on the end of a pipe (no matter what is inside that pipe) and then trying to empty that pipe. Bowel muscles at the bottom end so traumatised and tight they try and keep everything trapped inside, despite the muscles higher up trying to push waste out.

There is so much more I could say, but really the important thing is to say that I wouldn’t have come as far as i have without Tania, and as i started, I probably wouldn’t be here now if not for her.

Almost three months ago I went to Vibrant feeling to see Tania.. before going I felt the lowest I had felt in my life.

At age 25 I am a mum of a livewire 2 year old and I do lead a busy life.. I was exhausted felt sick all the time and so sluggish in Every way.. . depressed and have been on antidepressants for two years and had been in the past.. I was bloated still struggling to lose my baby weight … I had horrendous loose stools and they had got progressively worse over 6months .. I was eating a reasonable diet or so I thought and not one over the counter supplement seemed to work.. constant throat infections 5 bouts of shingles and cold sores ear infections …my menstrual cycle was all to pot and I felt how could i care for my child when I couldn’t cope with my own health…

My first meeting with Tania she did a good allergy and vitamin deficiency test which brought a lot to light.. foods I ate a lot of i was Intolerant to and needed to limit .. Tania provided me with supplements I needed and after 1 month I felt a bit brighter and i certainly lost weight and stopped bloating I was sleeping better and eating sensible and making wise food choices .. I could have a little of my food had a intolerance to and I found in moderation I could still enjoy them as treats… after two months I feel amazing I have came off my antidepressants and my body feels back to normal I have tons of energy and feel so happy and positive even my menstrual cycle is back to normal .. I have also since feeling better been for two colonics so far and have noticed such a difference in my energy levels and bloating and weight loss..

However I will say for it to work you must be determined and committed to limit your food intolerances take the supplements and stick to it … Tania will 100 percent support you through it all..she’s an amazing therapist and you do feel like you’ve known her years when you speak to her.. it’s changed my life all my friends and family see a huge difference in me and so do I… from the bottom of my heart Tania thank you I have my life back and can enjoy it with my family and little girl.

In July 2017, I was suffering with a number of complaints including IBS, high blood pressure, and severe joint pain in the knees, that had meant cancelling two planned trips abroad, one to Brittany and one to New York, due to my pain and very limited mobility. I was walking with the help of a stick.

The medical profession wanted to treat my problems with yet more and ever more damaging pain killing drugs and then even more drugs to counteract the toxic effects of those. For the digestive problems, I had just had a third operation, which was unsuccessful, so was basically told that I would just have to take laxatives for the rest of my life, which upset my stomach.For the joint problems, I was told that I needed both knees replacing and was on the waiting list for these operations.At 62, I felt old, weary and worn out with pain.Many years ago, I had seen a programme on TV about food therapies that had cured many peoples acne, digestive issues etc. So I decided to see if there were any alternative therapies that might help me and thankfully I found Tania in Darlington and had a MORA food intolerance test and a consultation.The results showed various food intolerances and a few vitamin and mineral deficiencies and so I cut out those foods and started taking the vitamins and minerals suggested by Tania.

The results after just one month were amazing.I have been able to stop taking the laxatives, came off the Naproxen painkillers, cancelled the knee replacement operations and threw away the walking stick.After 1 year of the new regime, everyone I meet tells me how incredibly well I look – my blood pressure is down, my digestive issues are under control and last Sunday I walked 7 miles to help celebrate 100 years of women getting the vote, without the aid of a stick and with no more than the normal pain of the stop/start walking of such an event. I recently flew to visit my friends in Brittany and also to Chicago and have regained my energy, my sparkle and my life.

Thank you so much Tania. I now feel 53 instead of 73 and recommend Tania’s treatment to all my friends.

If only more people opted for such ways of finding healing instead of prescriptions the world would be a healthier place. My gp told me to take medication to lower “unwanted systems” Vibrant, through food sensitivity testing and continuing support are helping me heal from the inside and hopefully eradicating the actual cause. In my case, it’s not just about what I am sensitive too but also about what’s happening in my body and which minerals and vitamins am I lacking and thus hindering my heath rehabilitation. Get it done. It’s a great insight.

As a Health Practitioner, I have no hesitation in recommending Tania MacDonald to my clients. She has a professional and friendly approach and her Studio provides the right environment with state-of-the art equipment. She is a godsend to the North East.

After over 20 years of suffering from constipation I decided to try Colon Hydrotherapy, after just 2 sessions with Tania at the Vibrant I started to notice a marked improvement on the frequency of my bowel movements and the ongoing benefits this treatment has had to me. I now have two treatments a year and now find that I rarely suffer from constipation and, when I do, it only last a couple of days (instead of weeks as before) and then I am back to normal! Thank you Tania.

Excellent service can’t thank you enough for helping me find the root cause of my issues. Highly recommend vibrant for food sensitivity testing. Very professional.

Amazing results and feedback, feel so much better now i understand my food intolerance’s and also whats going to benefit me and my body! can’t thank you enough! ill be definitely recommending..il keep in touch:)
