Sound advice re steep turns and sudden changes of altitude.

For seriously anxious pax try some extended taxying prior to take off if ATC is not a problem: Gets them used to changes in engine note , noise and vibration.

Once in the air forewarn pax before every action, like throttling back, commencing a turn, lowering flaps, and head for home at the slightest sign of green gills.

I keep a number of sick bags handy but out of sight as well as multiple sheets of kitchen roll and
even a wet flannel in a poly bag:

Overkill you might think, but a recently chundered pax will thank you for the cool dampness of the flannel as you head back to base....................

Enjoy
