“'I am a 44 year-old female who has been supported by Vera over the past 6 months. During that time, Vera's advice has alleviated my headaches and insomnia, improved my digestion and constipation issues and her supplement recommendations have improved my mood swings no end. 

Her guidance and expertise have made a significant difference to my general well-being. She suggested specific blood tests at various times during the treatment to assess my progress, with a marked improvement within a few months. 

She is proactive and friendly in her approach, with sessions being arranged at intervals of my choosing and at my convenience. Vera uses an holistic approach to create a tailored treatment plan that is tweaked during each session to achieve specific goals. 

I would heartily recommend Vera to anyone seeking a common sense approach to nutrition”

Gemma, February 2024

“I would just like to say a few words to say how happy I am with Vera Martins’ professional and understanding approach to help address my current health issues.

I have suffered with my skin for many years and understand that the gut can play a part in this which I have struggled with too. I was referred to Vera through my dermaologist and I have had a couple of online sessions where she has listened patiently and advised a programme of natural remedies that in a short time have certainly improved my gut health. I'm fully aware it will take time to get my body back into balance but Vera is always there to address any questions and offer advice.”

Jason, January 2024

“I started seeing Vera for support with gut and perimenopausal symptoms (bloating, brain fog, fatigue, sleep disturbance and low iron levels), which have been plaguing me for a number of years. I found her approach to very empathetic and understanding. She was able to take a holistic approach at the same time as applying her broad knowledge in a logical and methodical way. I felt thoroughly listened to and well supported. 

Vera's advice has enabled me to experience a significant reduction in all of my symptoms which has been fantastic. I would absolutely recommend her.”

Faye, December 2023

“Since my diagnosis of hypothyroidism 3 years ago coupled with menopausal symptoms of low mood, lethargy and weight gain I had been struggling to find a way through this mind-field of conflicting information and symptoms. The 10-minute appointments with my GP were insufficient, leaving me feeling even more low in mood and holding another prescription for drugs with side effects and no concrete explanation. I was lost and felt alone. I needed an expert so started my research and found Dr Vera Martins.

I am a true believer in a natural approach to health and well-being but needed to be shown how, and this is what Dr Martins advocates. After a very in-depth consultation whereby she listened, answered my many questions, empathised she then created a personalised treatment plan with supplements, dietary advice, and lifestyle changes. I felt seen and heard. Her knowledge, expertise and caring nature is just amazing.

I have been working with Dr Martins for about 5 weeks now and although we are still at the beginning of my health and well-being journey, I am seeing positive changes in my mood and sleep. I am excited at finding a more balanced self, which I believe will be achievable under the guidance of Dr Martins. I am so happy I found her!

I highly recommend you start your health journey with Dr Martins if you too are struggling to find a way forward.”

Paula, April 2023

“I highly recommend Vera. She is very thorough, takes into consideration all medications you are taking, sees your body as a whole and not just as individual aches and pain. She explains how to improve your well-being with changes in diet and if needed, the use of good quality supplements.

I have been with her twice, and already from my first visit, there was a great improvement in my health. I have struggled with ongoing bladder infection, fatigue, bloating, constipation, etc. My bloating is gone, bladder infection has cleared up and my constipation is also much better.
She has also suggested that I go for a Dexa scan (which no GP has done before, although it is on my records that I have a family history of osteoporosis). It turned out that I needed to take medication to help me with my bone density.”

Claudine, February 2023

“After two years of regularly going to my GP due to digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, skin infections and anxiety, I was lucky to find Vera. Vera dedicated a lot of time to listen to me and all of the different problems I'd had (and my frustration!) and requested me to take a gut health test to better make sense of the different symptoms I was having. She's been very supportive - creating a very easy to follow health plan, checking in between appointments, taking on board any new information I bring and adjusting the health plan based on that.

I was starting to think that feeling exhausted all the time and having poor digestion and poor sleep were things I needed to get used to, but I'm finally starting to see light at the end of the tunnel and each month I feel better, happier and more full of energy!

I have recommended Vera to all my friends and would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to make positive changes in their lifestyle and feel better”.

Vicky, October 2022

”I first visited Vera in March 2022 after suffering with menopausal symptoms despite being on HRT I was struggling with everyday life , feeling constantly exhausted, anxious, moody and experiencing joint pain like never before.

From the onset Vera’s professionalism, expertise and knowledge on women’s health and menopause shone through, she made me feel totally at ease and was able to answer all my questions and concerns sympathetically and in a way that I understood .

Vera gave me some excellent advice on nutrition, supplements and lifestyle changes and after committing to my recommended treatment plan I started to feel significantly better after only 4 weeks – it was remarkable. Six months on I am feeling like a new woman , I can’t thank you enough Vera for giving me my life back.”

 Julie, September 2022

“After two years of suffering extreme anxiety (unable to leave the house), issues with my digestive system and hormonal imbalance mainly menopause related my GP recommended I get in touch with Dr Vera Martins to see whether she could assist. I can honestly say that for the first time in two years I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Vera’s knowledge, understanding and expertise is second to none. Vera was thorough in our first consultation and her diagnosis proved accurate. Vera introduced me to supplements, dietary and lifestyle changes which have all made a huge positive impact on my life. Within the first month I felt so much better, my digestive system restored and my levels of anxiety hugely improved to the point of being able to start going out for walks. My wellbeing has been and continues to improve each day and I’m actually now looking forward to doing things again.

I highly recommend Vera and I can’t thank her enough for everything she has done and will keep doing for me. I will continue under her care and support.”

Emma, June 2022

“I am so grateful to have found Vera! I started working with her to address my skin concerns and natural ways to address anxiety and over the course of five months I was able to see such improvement with her guidance. I appreciate that she took the time to understand the root of problem and along the way gently encouraged me to stick with the health plan in order to see results. I can't recommend her enough-she is warm, practical and knowledgeable about all aspects of the mind and body.”

Jennifer, April 2022

I would like to highly recommend Dr Vera Martins. She is an amazing, thoughtful naturopathy consultant. Due to my fatigue /mood challenges which I was not able to shift, I was seeking for an alternative way forward. The recommendations given by Dr Martins from change of diet/lifestyle to added supplements make such a difference. I now wake up before the alarm, feel not totally exhausted after a nights sleep and have more energy throughout the day. Five out of Five!!

Kerstin, March 2022

Vera has been amazing in helping me feel better within myself again. She has provided super clear advice and direction, and with her help i have lost a significant amount of weight (over a stone in 8 weeks), am sleeping better, have a better and more consistent mood & emotions, and have reassurance on my overall health. Her advice has been super practical and easy to follow. I'm really grateful for Dr Vera's support in helping me achieve my health goals.

Alison, February 2022

“Vera has helped me enormously over the past year. When I first came to see her I was experiencing sever acne and digestive issues. We have since been working on supporting my gut and any hormonal imbalances. My digestive issues have improved and my skin is still in the process of clearing. After years of treating my skin using allopathic treatments for a short term fix, Vera has helped me find a long term solution using both my diet and lifestyle which has not only helped my skin but also to restore my overall health after years of longterm antibiotic use. I would definitely recommend Vera to anyone who is struggling to find a long term solution! She went above and beyond to help me find a root cause for my acne and has treated me with great understanding and empathy throughout.”

Francesca, London, January 2022

"I had some digestion issues that had been troublesome for years and my wife suggested I speak with Vera. My first consultation with Vera was in August 2021 and she quickly identified what she thought might be the root cause of my problem. She suggested a change in diet combined with supplements to support my digestive system. She monitored the situation closely and made some adjustments during a 3 month period. I feel so much better now and the uncomfortable symptoms are gone. I would highly recommend Vera - she is a good listener and was quick to diagnose and treat my issue. She's a true expert in her field. I would highly recommend her."

Pierre, London, November 2021

“Before I met Vera, I had been seeking medical treatment for a severe hormone imbalance, primarily struggling with insomnia and anxiety. Vera was the first doctor I’d come across in three years that really showed empathy, concern and a commitment to help. She’s very welcoming, friendly and professional which made me feel comfortable and trusting of her.  It only took a couple of months of supplements and lifestyle changes with her and I noticed a massive difference in my mental and physical well being. Through working with Vera, my biggest win has been that my period came back which had been absent for 5 years! 

She is my biggest support and I trust her and her process completely. I cannot recommend her enough, as I would truly be lost without her.”

Gillian, London, September 2020

'“Vera has helped me immensely. In just a month I’m feeling back on track and more like my old self again. I had all sort of gastric related issues that had a knock on effect to the rest of my body. Vera has reaffirmed for me how important diet and nutrition is. I am very grateful.”

Jonathon, London, August 2020

“I have been seeing Vera Martins for some time now, I came to see her with many different complaints. She is helping me to restore my health and I have not felt this way for a very long time. My energy levels improved so much and many other hormonal complaints that I had are also improving lot. I was on a bio-identical  hormone replacement before and I must confess that it was ok but not as great as I am feeling with her tincture to control hormones and the supplements for overall  health.

I can not recommend her enough. 

Rosana, London, April 2020

“I went to Vera following difficulties with ovarian cysts and managing stress / overall well being. I have found her to be very holistic in her approach, very much looking at the mind and the body. The changes to my diet and plant-based supplements have been very beneficial, and Vera is able to support recommendations with sound knowledge incorporating evidence base. I can only recommend!”

Alison, London, January 2020

“I started working with Vera about 6 months ago and I’ve been delighted both with the impact of the treatment and my interaction with her. I went to see her because I was looking for a natural solution to manage stress. I really felt listened to in my consultation with her and the plan that she put together for me was brilliant. It helped me to understand some fundamental principles about nutrition, which was really helpful in empowering me to make sustainable changes in the way I eat. She also recommended natural supplements and suggested a meal plan with some DELICIOUS recipes (so delicious I’ve actually since then made some of the recipes for friends and family!). The treatment has had a positive impact on my well-being and Vera was there every step of the way to help me deal with any challenges I experienced in implementing the plan (change is difficult sometimes, and it certainly takes time!). I was able to talk through with her how to make it easier to make the changes I needed to make and she was incredibly supportive, checking in on me by email as well to see how I was getting on. I really appreciated the personal touch, it makes you feel like a valued human being! I also had a reiki session with her and that was also an amazing experience. She picked up a lot of information about me through the treatment, which really surprised me in how accurate it was, and it felt incredibly good. If you’re looking for a competent naturopath, herbalist and reiki practitioner you can trust, I would warmly recommend Vera.”

Valerie, London, 2019

“I went to see Vera tired of years of dieting which only resulted in high cholesterol, constant bloating, irregular guts and hormone imbalance. Vera was very professional, supportive and thorough since the beginning of my journey. In preparation of the first meeting she asked me to complete a food diary and share my blood test results. She discovered and reviewed my situation carefully to look at what kind of nutrients my body was getting, or maybe lacking in. Vera advised me on diet changes that were manageable and even very enjoyable. She explained me the mechanisms behind it. She gave me lifestyle change recommendations, a list of creatives easy recipes and supplements and a clear week plan to follow – including a shopping list and where I could find for cheaper the more uncommon stuff! Her knowledge of and passion for nutrition was inspirational. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t have introduced food I was almost scared of and would have ignored the incredible benefits of root powders, organic food and natural supplements. After a couple of weeks, I could report a better skin, less tiredness and an evident reduction in hair loss. I have been for a couple of follow ups since to review and adjust my diet where needed. What I think makes her stand out is her ability to listen and to make you feel at ease even when sharing personal matters. Whenever I have questions, I know I can reach out to her for a considered and honest response…and an extra boost of positive thoughts. 3 months in, my blood tests are now picturing a completely different story: I managed to substantially lower my cholesterol, balanced my hormones and increased my energy level. I found gut regularity and bloating is just a bad memory now! I am very grateful to Vera and I warmly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a highly qualified nutritionist and ready to discover a new way of nurturing and healing his/her body.”

Elisa, London, 2019

“Vera is a very compassionate and supportive professional with an outstanding knowledge on natural medicine. Vera gave me many lifestyle change recommendations and invaluable support with herbs and natural supplements. I am especially grateful to Vera for helping my mother who was suffering from a tremendous amount of pain caused by arthritis in her knees and hands. Vera prepared a custom-made herbal mixture of anti-inflammatory oils for my mother, and she was amazed by the effect it had on reducing the pain and improving her condition. She has been using “The Oil” (as she started to call it) for over 9 months now and she will be ordering a new batch really soon. Both, my mother and I, cannot thank Vera enough.”

Lila, London, 2019

''I met Vera at the point when I had been going through a tough period, still recovering from the negative impact of a breast surgery, suffering from anxiety, disrupted sleep patterns, pathologic cravings for sugar and all of these, affecting seriously my professional and personal life. At this point of my life, when I was overwhelmed with fear, confusion and feeling of hopelessness Vera was beside me, bringing so many positive changes in my life. 

During my initial visit, Vera took the time to get to know my entire medical history and listen to all my concerns. Afterwards she formulated a dietary plan and  herbal tinctures specifically prepared for me. She suggested some 'delicious' changes to my diet, healthy substitutes to my 'guilty pleasures' and an amazing detox tea! 

I am so impressed by Vera's work, how she deals with everything in such a professional and at the same time friendly manner. I am so touched by her constant support (follow ups via email, over the phone and in person), helping me to stay motivated and committed, reassuring me that I am on the right track! What's more, Vera helped me to overcome some personal insecurities and doubts, helped me to understand myself better and to accept who I am .

I can't THANK her enough for everything she has done and keep on doing for me, for all the positive impact she has on me!"

Mira, London, 2018

"I had been struggling with what I later found out to be stress induced IBS for a while. Having tried probiotics, conventional supplements and changes in my diet, with little success, I decided to try a more natural approach and went for a naturopathic consultation, followed by a complete herbal treatment course prescribed and dispensed by Vera herself. The results are indisputable with my physical symptoms fading quickly, until they disappeared completely; but more importantly, the holistic approach to my issue allowed me to understand why it was occurring, which in turn helped me tackle the bigger issues so I wouldn't suffer from it again, which I haven't to date. Vera's intuition, empathy and incredible scientific and naturopathic knowledge combined guarantee you are in the best possible hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is considering a naturopathic alternative."

Sarah, London, 2017

"I had been suffering with insomnia for 5 months until I fortunately had a consultation with Vera. The situation was pretty bad until then and I had tried a number of things recommended by friends and colleagues without any results whatsoever. 

The session with Vera was relaxed yet professional, we went through the history of the problem and the symptoms, and a few days later she reverted with a herbal remedy recommendation. Upon my agreement she had it made at the lab and I started taking it immediately. I am very pleased to say that the herbs along with some helpful tips she gave me have made the insomnia go away completely!

I would recommend seeking Vera’s help unreservedly."

Stefanos, London, 2016

"I am extremely lucky to have met Vera. I had previously been diagnosed with IBS from numerous doctors and been dismissed without support or sufficient information of the condition. I felt in despair as it had been suggested that the symptoms were created by my mind and given generic suggestions such as to do more exercise and try to relax. I sought out a holistic approach and was introduced to Vera. Vera has a gentle and calm nature, is genuinely caring and listens carefully. Through Vera's knowledge and guidance I have been helped to formulate a routine which supports and heals my condition. She has helped me to realize a gluten intolerance which was otherwise overlooked by the doctors, nutritional and dietary recommendations, supplement advice, herbal remedies to support my mood and relaxation methods I practice frequently. It has been such a pleasure to meet with Vera over the past year and I am so grateful to have received the kindness and support which has been so crucial and beneficial to my healing. "

Ruby, London, 2015

I had several appointments with Vera to assist with anxiety, sleep and fertility. Vera was able to help me identify strategies to assist with each area of concern and provide some good supporting herbal remedies. I found her advice and treatment plan very thorough and easy to follow with amazing results. I would go and see Vera again with any concerns as she is both professional and personable, and the treatment plans work. I recommend her to anyone with these or other concerns.

Rachel, London, 2015
