Nutritional therapy in Birtley.
Birtley is Washington’s neighbour on the other side of the A1(M), so Janet Ewens is about as local as it gets. Home health tests, honest conversations and nutrition support that fits around work and family.
Just the other side of the A1(M).
Birtley grew up along the old Great North Road, and Durham Road is still the spine of the town. From Barley Mow and Portobello at the southern end to the streets that look up towards the Angel of the North, it is a place where people tend to stay, raise families and know their neighbours.
It is also a town with making things in its bones. Generations worked in engineering and munitions here, and the Belgian families who came during the First World War to make shells gave part of Birtley the name Elisabethville. Hard work is a local habit, and so is putting up with feeling under par for far too long.
Janet Ewens lives and works three miles away in Washington, and she spent 30 years with IBS, headaches and chronic fatigue before finding a natural way forward. Her motto is test, don’t guess. A free 30-minute call is the place to begin, and nothing is sold to you on it.

Wellbeing for Birtley workplaces
Birtley still makes things, from the excavators built at the Komatsu plant to the firms on the industrial estates beside the A1(M). Long shifts on your feet or hours at a desk both take it out of people. Janet’s corporate wellness workshops bring practical ideas on food, energy and sleep into the working day, in plain language that a busy team can put to use the same week.
Corporate workshopsMotorway miles and blood sugar
With the A1(M) and the Western Bypass on the doorstep, plenty of Birtley people spend a good part of the day sitting in a car or a cab, with lunch bought at a service station. Over the years that can creep up on your waistline and your energy. The Blood Sugar (HbA1c) Test looks at long term blood sugar from a finger prick, with a lifestyle assessment and a Type 2 diabetes risk score, for £130.

If you would like a few gentler options alongside what the chemist sells, have a look at Janet’s natural remedies, and learn how she uses them in the Pure Plant Medicine Masterclass. They are not a replacement for medical advice, just another tool for everyday family life.
