Heath Recruitment

For the first 40 years of my life I couldn't eat regular food and lived off bread, then I went to see Felix for my session with him he suggested to bring along after my session I tried some new foods and for the first time I found I could eat without being instantly sick. I'm amazed how Felix managed to tailor the session in such a personal way despite having never met me before.

The change in my relationship with food struck me the next day when I was offered something complimentary and instantly said sure why not, given I'd always said no to any new food item. so just 1 session and I could eat anything I want, I do still have some anxiety with food but I feel more in control

Felix Economakis treated my son's ARFID in just one session. Highly recommended. When you have had involvement from so many agencies (CAHMS, Food clinics, Phsychologists) you reach desperation point and look outside the usual box.and that's when we found Felix. My son was a couple of months off turning 8 and dropped off the growth and weight centiles.

He hadn't gained weight for two years and was becoming very ill through what we now know to be Avoidant Restrictive Foood Intake Disorder or ARFID. EVERY mealtime was filled with emotional stress. Food would be scrutinised and if something tasted slightly different, or the texture was perceived to be not quite right, his body would vomit repeatedly.

As a family, we were never able to enjoy a single mealtime and holidays and eating out only exacerbated the issues. We discussed his issues with Felix who felt confident that he could help his situation. My son and I attended his practice at The Heath and I was able to sit in for the whole session. They had a chat built a rapport, which my son found very easy to do with this lovely man.

Then my son opted for eyes-open therapy. At the end of which my son tried eating new foods without fear. Absolutely incredible. My boy has since continued to put the effort into trying new foods. He has gone from strength to strength and now eats a wide variety of foods. Felix continues to show interest and us always keen to learn of progress. Our family life has changed beyond recognition. We will be forever grateful for this man. Don't hesitate.

My daughter met with Felix and the form of therapy he uses is excellent and I personally have benefited from it myself. Felix is very knowledgeable and experienced. I am so glad we started our daughter's journey to healing with him!

My session was for ARFID. Professional, friendly and brilliant at what he does. I brought around 5 different foods that I would never have thought I'd be able to try into my session. By the end of it, I was able to try them all. I continued to be able to try foods at home after my session. Unfortunately, my progress did regress when I got pregnant, but I am now working to get myself to where I was again after my session with Felix Economakis. I am not 100% better yet, but I've come along way and this is all thanks to the work that Felix did. Thank you.

I can not recommend Felix enough. I had been suffering for over 30 years with being called a 'fussy eater'. For the first time in my life I had someone who understood me. I could give it a name and best of all move forward. Felix was amazing and made me feel so comfortable, I am a very anxious person. After one session I was able to try foods I never imagined trying.

It has changed my life. Yes the cost was an investment but an investment in a better life and health. If you are on the fence, just do it. I have referred children his way and they have also had amazing results.

3 years ago I was dangerously underweight with no help from doctors or therapists as no one knew what is wrong with my eating. I found Felix online and he has been very understanding and helpful right away. After one session via skype I was able to gradually extend my diet and gain weight. Few months later I also had a session for my fear of flying which was a success too and I feel much calmer when travelling now. Highly recommended

I took my son to see Felix in 2016 for ARFID treatment. My son was aged 9 at the time and I never progressed from the weaning stage, surviving on select jars of baby food and fromais frais. He had seen countless professionals over the years who were not equipped to deal with the issue, many not even having knowledge of the disorder. Felix was able to change my sons eating habits in one session.

Five years later he is a healthy weight, no longer requires diet supplements and has enough food range for him to be able to blend in at school. We are now able to eat out as a family in restaurants and travel has been made so much easier. Highly recommend Felix and the Practice.

I have been enduring the hardships of ARFID almost all my life, ever since I can remember, with earliest memories since I was three. Had a face to face therapy session with Felix last week. I was nervous with anxiety but also anxious with anticipation. The session was strangely positive, and I am still confused as to how I am able to see, pick and eat foodstuff I had an extreme fear of, or had never even eaten before - including a curry and rice.

I also picked up a variety of fruits and ate them. They were good. I was not as anxious around food as I usually am. There were at least 8 varieties of edibles I tried that day and was very proud of myself. I have since gone food shopping that I would have otherwise avoided. I cannot more highly recommend Felix and his therapy to anyone who needs it.

It has been extremely beneficial to me and I am very happy that I have taken the step in the 'Right' direction and to have made this change in my life. THANK YOU Felix! and we will be in touch with my progress. 17 items and going strong!

I took my daughter, Megan to see Felix yesterday and am still in shock at the result. Megan has been unable to eat or drink anything since February due to a traumatic incident causing a swallowing phobia, and is reliant on a NG tube for all her nourishment. She had been refused access to any specialist help from the NHS owing to not meeting anorexia or bulimia criteria and faced a very uncertain future as an inpatient in a mental health unit as her depression at her situation worsened.

Within an hour of meeting Felix she was able to eat and drink small quantities of food without any fear. The transformation was unbelievable. My only regret is that we never found Felix earlier. We have no idea how he does what he does but it is miraculous and I would say to anyone, that if you think it may help you, go for it. Thank you so much, Felix, it is not exaggerating to say you have probably saved my daughter's life. She is now looking forward to resuming her career and getting her life back.

My 15 year old daughter just had a session with Felix. He was amazing! So friendly and kind. She was anxious and he made her feel very relaxed. She ended up eating several different foods that she would not have touched before, even saying, "Wow, I forgot how good this tastes" or "This is actually good!" There wasn't one food I gave her that she refused to eat. I am really excited to continue the journey and feel hopeful. Thank you Felix!
