“Encouraged by her warm, light, and perspicacious manner…”
I met and conversed with Dr. Brodski before knowing she was an Anthroposophical doctor. I had already been using this kind of medicine for several decades for its unique qualities and was looking for a practitioner, so, encouraged by her warm, light and perspicacious manner, made an appointment. My reasons were twofold, both of which fly in the face of modern opinions of illness and healing. I have discovered that illness is an antidote to past errors or misdeeds that I am unable to mend out of my own abilities. You might say illness is heaven sent.

What heals is the experiential passage through everything associated with the condition, and its effect on others around us, rather than disposal of the symptoms. Symptoms are the message that something needs to be done; and suffering them is one side of the desired healing. The other is the doctor, in this case Dr Brodski, who reassures by accompanying the suffering and recommending medication and therapies by which our real self, lying outside our consciousness, effects the healing. It is that that reduces or banishes the symptoms. Once one can embrace one’s condition as a received blessing, the healing process is underway. It might not be obvious for a while, for full healing means the positive transformation of one’s spirit in preparation for a further future.
The common expression that an illness resulting in death is a ‘lost battle against xxx’ is in my view the opposite of the reality: when we and our doctor have defeated the illness we are free to die because we need that illness no more. And if our destiny has more for us before that transition, we go on living; hence my saying my views are opposite to widespread opinion. I personally feel short-changed by forms of therapy that are content with banishing the symptoms and am glad to have found Dr. Brodsky as practitioner of this kind.
“Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful…”
Dr Anna is a wonderful doctor – very knowledgeable and extremely helpful in listening to the big picture – going beyond excellent medical advice, to guiding one towards changes in life style. She helped me make an important decision by giving me confidence to listen to my body. Her recommendations, by follow-up email, are detailed and prompt and have been a resource for me to return to several times. I would recommend her wholeheartedly for anyone looking for holistic medical advice.
“One of the best doctors I have ever met.”
She listens carefully to all my concerns, truly cares about her patients, and always goes the extra mile to support their health. She recommends different types of medications or even exercises when needed. She is always kind and compassionate.
“Freedom!”
I was looking for some way to access a doctor during lockdown. Here was my answer, someone online.
We spent a lot of time discussing my situation, and after careful thought, Dr B. came up with a wonderful anthroposophical course of treatment. Some seemed strange at the time, but they worked really well.
Before treatment, I could not even walk around the block for a short walk without feeling pain and discomfort.
Now I am happy to go out with friends without worrying if the pain will return.
Freedom!
It was wonderful having someone listen to me and give me their full attention for however long it took to sort things out.
Great for people with little or no mobility and busy people with little time to spare
“Empathy, acceptance, and support.”

“Knowledgeable, intuitive, and practical.”
“I found Dr Brodski to be very knowledgeable as well as intuitive in her diagnosis – and practical in her suggested treatment plan. She was able to put me at ease and give me confidence in achieving a positive outcome.”
“I felt better psychologically just speaking with her.”
“I have complex endocrine problems, resulting in a number of troublesome and painful symptoms. Whilst my NHS doctors have balanced my medications to a point, I still did not feel well and did not wish to add in any further medications. I appreciated speaking to Dr Brodski, who heard my story in an unhurried way, and involved me in decisions about ways to take things forwards. I feel we have made progress: my energy levels are higher and I have made a number of lifestyle changes to support my health. Dr Brodski is also a good listener and I felt better psychologically for having spoken to her.”
