Susann is a Holistic Helper in charge of the Holistic Helper team.

Susann has been involved with the Project from its very beginnings, and on retirement took on a wide range of duties at SUCH. She now answers the telephone and makes appointments, and takes care of clients before and after their treatments. She is also heavily involved in creating recipes for the juices and smoothies featured in the SUCH booklet Enjoy the Health Benefits of Juices, Smoothies and Soups.

It is great to see at first hand the development of SUCH and the fulfilment of Maggi’s dream

Avril has worked with the Project since 2003, after doing an aromatherapy course at Somerset College of Arts and Technology. She helps to keep the Project running smoothly and on time, as well as assisting with proof-reading.

Maggi's approach is both stimulating and innovative. As an individual we can take control of our lives. If we take care to eat a healthy diet and take regular exercise, to include, if possible, something like yoga, we can influence our state of mind. The body and mind are inextricably linked and we can do much to improve our health and well being.

Jo answers the telephone and makes appointments, and takes care of clients before and after their treatments. She is involved with planning and making the juices and smoothies which are served to the clients, as well as being a guinea-pig for trying out most of the drinks made on the SUCH Project.

I think it's fantastic that SUCH is able to offer treatments to people, regardless of their financial situation
