Nutritional therapy in Sacriston.
Sacriston is only a few miles from Janet Ewens’ door in Washington, on the far side of Chester-le-Street. She offers home health tests and one-to-one nutrition support, with every consultation booked online.
A village that looks after its own.
Sacriston grew up around its pit, and although the colliery closed in 1985 the village has kept the close feel of a mining community. People here know their neighbours, from the main street out to Edmondsley, Kimblesworth, Nettlesworth and Witton Gilbert, and they tend to get on with things rather than make a fuss about their health.
That can mean years of putting up with a gut that never settles, headaches that keep coming back or a tiredness that sleep does not shift. Janet Ewens knows that pattern from the inside. She lived with IBS, headaches and chronic fatigue for 30 years before she found a natural way forward, and her practice grew out of that experience.
Babylon Health Hub is based roughly seven miles to the north east, in Washington. You do not need to make the trip, though. A free 30-minute call comes first, any test is taken in your own home and posted to the lab, and Janet goes through the results with you online at a time that suits you.

Where Janet can help.
When your stomach has never been right
Plenty of people in the Durham villages have simply learned to live with bloating, cramps or an unpredictable stomach. Janet’s sensitivity and intolerance test uses a small hair sample to look at over 1,200 items, including foods, additives, metals and gut health markers. It is not an allergy test, and it does not diagnose anything, but the hour you spend with Janet afterwards can give you a sensible place to begin.
About the sensitivity testA proper conversation about your health
Sometimes what you need most is time with someone who will listen. A private consultation with Janet costs £55 and looks at the whole picture: what you eat, how you sleep, what your working week is like and what has already been tried. From there she can suggest whether a test is worth doing or whether a few steady changes at home would be the better first step.
Consultations and programmesOld remedies, properly explained
Many Sacriston families still remember a grandmother who had a home remedy for everything. Janet’s Pure Plant Medicine Masterclass picks up that tradition and brings it up to date, showing how plant-based preparations can be used with care for everyday niggles. If it sparks your interest, her natural remedies page goes into more detail about what she keeps in her own cupboard.

Sacriston questions.
Does Janet have a clinic in Sacriston?
No. Janet lives and works in Washington, and there is no clinic to attend in the village. Tests are taken at home and sent by post, and your consultations are booked online.
What is the first step if I am not sure what I need?
Book the free 30-minute call. Janet will ask what has been going on and tell you honestly whether a test, a consultation or neither is the right place to start.
Is the hair test the same as an allergy test?
No. It looks at sensitivities and intolerances only, so if you suspect a true allergy you should speak to your GP.
What will I pay for a test and a consultation?
The sensitivity, omega and blood sugar tests are £130 each and the vitamin D test is £65, all with a results consultation included. A private consultation on its own is £55.
Babylon Health Hub offers complementary health support. Tests are not a medical diagnosis and do not replace advice from your GP. Please speak to your doctor about any medical condition or before starting supplements.
