Testimonials

After suffering with bloating and stomach issues for years i decided to book an appt with tania to see if she could help at all, I’m so glad i did as after tanias help and advice I feel much better and have much less bloating and problems all round. Tania is extremely knowledgeable, i couldn’t recommend her enough thanks so much for your help. 

I started on Tanya’s vitamin regime after a friend highly recommended her and had seen digestion and gut transformation in days without altering her diet. 

Unfortunately it didn’t work like this for me, and I struggled with diarrhoea for weeks and weeks. If it wasn’t for the fact that by then not only was my friend taking the supplements but also 3 other people that we knew and they were all getting on fine and had seen improvements, I don’t think I would have continued with them. 

However, I am so pleased I did, because gradually things just got better to the point now where I rarely feel bloated or uncomfortable and feel so much better in myself in almost every way. 

I have continued on with the supplements beyond the 3-months I had intended, because I feel that it took a while for me to turn the corner and I am trying to put right a lot of years’ worth of wrong.

Vibrant provide a thoughtful, respectful and professional service.  It is great to have this clinic and the dedicated and careful attention to detail is very much appreciated. I have taken up the three month plan to clear my bowel and get my health on track.  If you have digestion and related issues I would recommend a consultation to look into what they can do for you. 

I`ve been battling with constipation, anxiety and excess worry since I was in my twenties. I`ve been to the doctors, had a milk allergy test, been prescribed lactulose and left to bloody well get on with it. I`ve tried various diets, turned pescatarian, dabbled with veganism and consulted with a nutritionist. I`ve taken probiotics and I`ve bought various supplements but still the discomfort and worry continues….

12 months ago I had a operation and since then my symptoms have got progressively worse accompanied by the menopause.
I`d met Tania from Vibrant a while ago, liked her page and followed her on Facebook.

During lockdown, I gathered up the courage to contact Vibrant and the same day a friend rang me to share her very positive personal experience of Vibrant having seen me `like` her posts. (what a coincidence)
Tania got back to me with a friendly phone call and recommended a course of action.

I followed her advice to the letter and was in daily contact. Each time Tania reassured me and kept me on the right path.
Within a week my digestive transit had dramatically improved to a daily bowel function. Within a month I was feeling MUCH better in myself, calmer and worrying considerably less. Tania explained that constipation equals anxiety (worry).

I`m coming to the end of month 2 with Tanias support and I can honestly say I wish I had met Tania 35 yrs ago. How different would my life have been. How different would my relationships have been if I had felt less anxious and worried.

Having Tania to hand hold, to be there to offer advice and to know how to sort my tummy out has been the best thing for me. I am more productive, I`m happier and calmer. I`m so glad I found Tania (who I refer to when talking to my friends as `My Tummy Lady` has made such a difference to the quality of my life. Thank you Tania for your help so far.

Just about to finish 3 months worth of vitamins recommended by Tania. She told me at the beginning it was an investment but honestly it was one of the most important investments I have ever made. Earlier this year I was so fatigued & felt so ill I was sleeping up to 16 hours a day, I was off sick & struggling through every day.

Despite a raft of medical tests and appointments with a consultant the best they could tell me was I had residual inflammation from a viral infection in January. Tania was a bit of a long shot for me if I’m honest & I was incredibly sceptical. Fast forward to now & I can honestly say physically & mentally I have probably never felt so consistently good in my entire life. I am 2 months into a demanding full time job in the NHS, have taken up running & have covered 60km this month (having never run in my life).

Feeling too tired to do something has gone from being the norm to becoming something that is a distant memory. I feel like a better version of me & it’s amazing. It wasn’t all plain sailing and I needed advice along the way from Tania who tweaked the amounts of vitamins I needed & I have learned so much as well about my own health. I couldn’t recommend this fantastic lady any more”

I found Vibrant Feeling through a recommendation of someone who had had severe IBS with all the pain, discomfort and depression this brings, and after a consultation with Tania and three months of vitamins, he is now enjoying a normal, happy pain-free life. At 55, I had high cholesterol, was not sleeping well, lacked energy, was trying to lose weight and was about to start a busy full time job.

I knew I needed help, and after three months on a regime of vitamins from Tania and a low fat, high fiber diet, my cholesterol has dropped by 1.2 points to within normal levels, my sleep has improved, my digestive system is working better than it ever has, I have plenty of energy and I have lost over a stone in weight. So many conditions are clearly associated with digestive health, which mainstream medicine does not acknowledge.

I cannot thank Tania enough for the help she has given me and I would highly recommend a consultation with her.

I had spoken to Tania following a miscarriage, my 4th miscarriage. Im also lucky enough to have a beautiful baby girl, 2 years old After the last miscarriage, 2 after having my baby, I felt a bit lost and didn’t know where to turn to for help or advice. I’m a bit of a hippy having lived in Australia for 7 years and always entertained the idea that natural healing is best.

I contacted vibrant feeling originally for a colonic, I told Tania what had happened and we had a lengthy conversation and she instantly made me feel at ease to be open and honest about my situation. Her advice and warm nature made me feel relaxed, she advised that initially the colonic wouldn’t be the best procedure and booked in an eft tapping session followed by a reiki I was apprehensive about my first tapping and reiki treatment but when I arrived my shoulders dropped and taking in the energy and feel of the studio and meeting Tania made me feel very comfortable and confident in her abilities. After tapping I felt relieved and ready for the next part of my treatment, I hadn’t realized how many emotional traumas had affected me and the reasons why I was miscarrying.

During the Reiki something happened to my body I can’t explain, I had a sudden urge to burst into tears, I felt a connection with lost loved ones, I had goose bumps, and it was an intense but very relaxing sensation. We worked on my reproductive area, Tania cleared a ‘blockage of sludge’ as she described and I felt it. And we planted the seed in and afterwards I left feeling like sunshine was bursting out of me! No word of a lie, pure joy and happiness and light as a feather! I have been taking the supplements that Tania recommended for 3 months now and I have just had a scan and am nearly 7 weeks pregnant!!!

I’m not a writer, far from it. I just wanted to put my gratitude to Tania and her amazing ability into some sort of words to help anyone else who might be in my situation and not know where to go for help. You should seek out Tania at Vibrant Feeling. She can help you. Namaste

Hello Tanya, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for me with your treatments. can honestly say you have saved my life after being in the darkest place I have ever been. how my life has totally turned around how I can control my self and to be loved by someone so important to me. the positivity I have is absolutely astonishing and the energy I have right now every day is mind blowing I feel like I am the world’s best dad and boyfriend and totally believe in myself after not believing in myself at all

All I can do is thank you and I will be continuing to work with you.

Initially attended vibrant to have colon therapy. I have always struggled with being bloated, lethargic and only going to the bathroom once every three days if not longer, which caused a lot of discomfort. In addition to that my mental health was suffering and I developed anxiety and panic attacks. Due to this I decided to look at more holistic approaches to help. I conducted some research and come across vibrant (thank goodness). I booked in for one session initially as I did not know what to expect.

On arrival I was very impressed. The facilities are like a very modern luxury spa. Quiet, relaxing and opulent. I was met by the lovely Bonnie who was conducting my treatment. She put me at ease immediately and explained the procedure. It was not embarrassing at all.

Following on from the treatment, I quickly booked in another two. Before my final treatment, Tania the owner, reviewed the vitamins I had been taking. I was shocked to find that most of them were filled with bulking agents and were extremely low quality (no wonder I hadn’t felt any better). We spoke about vibrant foodstate products and the difference between what I had been taking.

I decided to give some of vibrant’s products a go and I’m so pleased I did. I can honestly say I feel 100% better than I did walking into the clinic for my first time. I can breathe in my belly, I don’t look 5 months pregnant, I have energy, I’m sleeping so much better and I go to the toilet every morning.

I just want to say thank you Bonnie and Tania, I feel like a new woman x

I have suffered with health issues for most of my life. My main problem was life long anxiety and fatigue which had a huge impact on my life and mental fogginess which was becoming increasingly difficult to concentrate and make decisions. At the same time, underlying sinus issues and a sluggish digestion. My abdomen always felt bloated and I suffered pain in my right side after eating as if I was going to burst. All this was making me feel very lethargic and struggling to keep up with the pace of life. I did go to the toilet most days but never felt like I had a complete motion and I always had to strain.

Over the years I have tried almost every alternative therapy going and to their credit all had some slight benefit although it was only temporary as I couldn’t afford to keep it all going. I then started doing a lot of research myself about natural medicine and started taking very high quality supplements (very expensive) but still I didn’t feel the benefit they should have given and it was costing me a fortune!

I became very interested in the gut/brain connection and it was when I watched a documentary series about mental health and parasites that it was like a Eureka moment! It seemed unbelievable but everything seemed to fit.

That is when I searched for help and found Vibrant Feeling. Tania is very confident about her success rate and not only extremely knowledgeable but she is so passionate about what she does. She is 100% focused and committed to getting results to make you better.

The Therapy Centre is a very relaxing place and although I was a bit anxious about having colon hydrotherapy, Tania completely put me at ease and the procedure is not in the slightest bit embarrassing. It was after the 2nd session that I felt the immediate relief, Tania had put me on a supplement protocol and I had been taking diatomaceous earth for a month to kill off any parasites. It was amazing to see what was coming out through the inspection chamber.

I felt so much lighter and my belly was flat. My bowels were moving normally for perhaps the first time in my life. But the most significant difference I have felt is that I feel like I now have control over my own brain, no more anxiety and am able to think clearly and live my life. It was almost like something else inside me had been controlling me but now I know that it was…..parasites!

I am so grateful to Tania and so glad that my searches led me to find Vibrant Feeling.

I visited Tania after some time feeling generally unwell, bloated, having dizzy spells and feeling low in energy. I had always thought I had some kind of intolerance to butter and cream but didn’t officially know what was the cause of my problems. Having visited Tania she identified my intolerance was for dairy and lactose. She also worked with me to aim to identify the root cause and recommended vitamins and minerals based on the ones I was lacking.

After a week I started to feel better removing dairy from my diet and taking the vitamins and minerals recommended. I haven’t had any of the previous symptoms and my energy levels increased as well as reduced brain fog and more clarity in thinking.

I would highly recommend Tanya and have been doing so to friends and family if they are experiencing issues.

Thank you Tania.

Following a recommendation from my daughter, I visited Tanya for Intolerance testing to review my health and wellbeing I cannot thank you enough for the support you have given and the results speak for itself.
For quite a long time I had been feeling unwell, low in energy, extraordinarily tired and fatigued and picking up constant illness and infection. Along with dry itchy skin, no appetite and poor digestive system. I was also suffering from phlebitis and auto immune deficiency. I also had anxiety and nervousness.

Following your advice having a dairy free diet and also taking the vitamins and minerals recommended within two weeks I started to improve and now 4 weeks later I feel fantastic. My energy is coming back day by day and the conditions I was suffering from have cleared. I cannot thank you enough.

On February 16th I saw Tania after multiple months of struggling with my health. In 2018 I was diagnosed with Brochiectasis, which is a serious and often life limiting lung disease. In a bit of bad timing, I had also just embarked on my new career as a primary teacher. Not only is this a stressful and tiring job but as my chest consultant said ‘one of the worst possible jobs’ I could have chosen with the lung condition I have. After a winter of unrelenting work and being exposed to all the children’s bugs my health had taken a turn for the worse and I was barely managing to keep up with the demands of my job. My energy levels were rock bottom, my immunity was poor and I ended up catching everything off the children and missing more and more time off work. Tania was my last resort to see if she could help get my health and my life back.

After a comprehensive first session where we discussed in detail my various issues and concerns about my health, Tania created a tailored plan of supplements. Although I was initially a little dubious, I was willing to give pretty much anything a go if there was a chance it could improve my health. Within the first week of taking the supplements I noticed a difference in my energy levels. Within the first month I was feeling happier and more energised with people commenting that I seemed to have got my spark back! Since first taking the supplements I have not had a single day off work due to catching a bug or illness.

I am now heading towards month three of taking the supplements and I have gone from barely being able to manage a week of work without picking up a bug and struggling with terrible fatigue, to competing my horse most weekends, travelling away to a wedding and walking up peaks in the Lake District. The supplements have given me a new lease of life and I am so grateful to Tania for all her help she has given me. I remember in the first session her saying she has a 100% improvement rate and has never failed yet using the protocol she advices, truthfully I had some reservations about whether they could work such wonders. However, all I can say for people wondering whether to book a Digestive Consultancy and Food intolerance test with her and to give yourself a chance of getting better in a holistic way!!

Health is something we take for granted until we have lost it. I am so pleased I started the supplements to get mine back!

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:)

Thank you Tania the results were great and make so much seen on why I feel how I do. I cannot wait to start on my new programme!! Xx

I just wanted to write a quick update following my food analysis tests. Since removing dairy from diet my asthma has improved 100%!! I have been able to stop taking my daily tablet and one of my inhalers. I occasionally use my ventolin when training but now I can start running again. I cannot thank you enough my breathing has never been so good even though I have always trained. I cannot wait to get my hair analysis done xx

Tania is absolutely fantastic. She was really informative and gave me great insight into changes I should make and also recommendations she gave me on things such as alternatives to e.g. sugar etc. But importantly the information given to me were tailored to me and my lifestyle.
