A message from Claire Truss …
I have lived in the area of Buckhurst Hill, Loughton and Woodford for nearly 20 years, had children, trained as a acupuncturist & naturopath and met many wonderful people.
In this uncertain time I wanted to do something for the community. From a natural health perspective, I see people with both physical and emotional issues.
Below is a growing list of signposts, resources and ideas. Find something you like and try it out…….
