“I went to Dr Blackie for years and years. I was so lucky, I was recommended to her, before I had my first child when I was under a lot of stress working in films and television. A friend said to me the best thing in the world you can do is go and see Dr Blackie, so then I became one of her patients until she retired.

Her little powders were absolutely magical and once I started going to her I needed to go less and less because I became healthier and healthier and started to think of my health in the right way.”

Susan Hampshire OBE, Vice President of The Blackie Foundation Trust
