Client healing journeys
Below are testimonials from some of my clients. As many came to me with skin concerns, you’ll find before-and-after photos documenting their healing journeys. Some images show distressed skin conditions, which certain viewers may find sensitive; however, they also demonstrate the remarkable improvements made under my care and the impressive progress each client achieved.

“Victoria helped me heal from head-to-toe when the doctors couldn’t”
“I developed a skin problem that ended up covering most of my body. I went to the Doctor who confessed he didn’t know what to do. We went through various things such as trying different creams, taking me off my medication (blood pressure pills) and giving me steroids (which I never took). At the end of the process, he referred me to a Dermatologist which took another 6 weeks for me to get an appointment.
While this was going on my daughter recommended that I speak to Victoria O’Donnell. In addition to her training, Victoria has had similar problems with her skin so had first hand knowledge of what I was going through so I knew I was in good hands. Victoria’s approach was completely different to my Doctors and she explained that the skin is influenced by what is going on inside. She put me on a tailored protocol with targeted supplementation and dietary recommendations, as well as some Functional Testing. The change in my skin over a few months has been remarkable with it 95% getting back to normal, and with a bonus that an itchiness that I have had at the back of my neck, and a mole on my back (both that I have had for many years) has gone. The new regime has also reduced my blood pressure and I have lost at least half a stone in weight, and no longer on any medication.
It was interesting when I eventually saw the dermatologist and my skin had improved so much that she said ‘carry on with what you are doing as it seems to be working’.”

“She healed me in ways I never thought possible.”
“Thank you for helping transform my life. I struggled with fungal infections, including on my ankle and leg, and her treatment felt like a miracle as historically nothing else was working. By addressing the root cause and guiding me through a total diet overhaul, she healed me in ways I never thought possible and healed other symptoms which I didn’t think were linked!
Her approach is compassionate, thorough, and truly effective. I’m beyond grateful for her support and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking real, lasting transformations.”

“She was the turning point in our healing journey”
“Vic is an incredible practitioner, and finding her was truly the turning point in our healing journey. I first came across her on Instagram while searching for natural ways to help myself and daughter through eczema and TSW. Months earlier, I had been hospitalised with a severe staph infection, nearly put on Dupixent, and at my lowest after decades of steroids and months of immunosuppressant creams that only made me sicker. Realising I was dealing with TSW rather than ‘severe eczema’ left me determined to heal naturally, but without support from conventional doctors, it felt like walking in the dark.
That’s when I found Vic. She immediately stood out because she combined personal experience with research-based knowledge. From the start, her guidance was clear and practical. She not only introduced me to effective supplements and nutritional protocols, but also explained why they worked, helping me understand how the body heals. I learned the importance of supporting all the body’s systems together prevents blockages in healing. For the first time my flares, flaking, and stages of recovery actually made sense.
The results were life-changing. Within a few months, both my daughter and I went from constant severe flaking to having clear, healthy skin. It felt miraculous, but it was really the outcome of consistent effort, guided step-by-step by Vic. While TSW is not a linear journey and relapses are part of the process, they no longer scare us. We face them with confidence, knowing we’ve healed before and will heal again.
Equally important is Vic’s empathy and presence. She shares her own journey with honesty and humour, which brings both reassurance and perspective. She has the rare ability to notice worries you haven’t voiced and address them with encouragement and facts, easing the mental strain that comes with TSW. Her support reminded me that lowering stress is just as essential to healing as supplements and nutrition.
Vic is not only deeply knowledgeable - grounded in research and continually studying functional medicine and natural healing - but also authentic, because she has lived this here herself. That combination makes her guidance powerful, practical, and inspiring.
I wholeheartedly recommend Vic to anyone going through TSW or looking to heal from inside out. She teaches you how your body works, what it needs, and how to support it - with empathy, humour, and unwavering commitment. She helps you achieve real, lasting results. She is truly a brilliant and amazing coach! Working with Vic has been both professionally transformative and emotionally supportive, and I’m deeply grateful for the role she has played in our healing journey.”

“Victoria saved my life.”
I’d been suffering with TSW (Topical Steroid Withdrawal) and contact dermatitis for around a year. I tried countless creams, different washing soaps, steroid creams, etc. I could not get anything to work and was suffering not only physically but also mentally, I struggled to leave the house most days.
When I got in contact with Vic, I learnt that there is so much more to skin issues than keeping moisturised or pure bad luck. In my appointment, we discussed my whole life and body, as well as my environment. She narrowed my condition down and set me a diet to follow to help me flush toxins out of my system, and I realised I was being exposed to mould also. She helped give me my confidence back.
These are things I could never have imagined could affect my skin.”
