I am passionate about supporting my patients back to full health. I will endeavour to give you the knowledge and skills you need to take control of your health and get better. I will use herbal medicines, nutrition and supplements to give you as much support as possible to start feeling really good again.

I have over twenty five years experience working as a Medical Herbalist. I completed a four year BSc (Hons) Herbal Medicine at Middlesex University in 2000, and I have been seeing patients at my busy private practice ever since.

I am a member of the Government’s Herbal Medicines Regulatory Committee (HMRC) which meets several times a year to advice the government on the safety and quality of herbal medicines, and considers applications for new product licenses in the UK.

I am also a member on the Accreditation Board of the European Herbal and Traditional Medicine Practitioners Association which ensures teaching institutions delivering professional herbal medicine training are achieving and maintaining excellent standards of training to their students.

I have been teaching nutrition and herbal medicine for many years.  Alongside my private practice, I also run a herbal medicine training clinic for students in the penultimate year of their herbal medicine degrees. It is great to be teaching and supporting the next generation of herbalists, nothing keeps your knowledge up to date like working with final year students!

How I will work with you….

I take a ‘functional medicine’ approach to illness. That is, I look at all the systems of the body, and address the underlying causes and drivers of poor health, rather than just addressing the symptoms. In your one hour initial consultation I will take a very detailed medical and dietary history.  If appropriate, I will carry out a physical examination, and check your pulse and blood pressure. I will help you understand any test results or medical letters you may have.  All the information gathered in the consultation will be used to create your unique health plan.

At the end of your initial consultation I will make you individually tailored herbal medicines to address your health issues.  I will also give you detailed diet, supplement, and lifestyle advice so that you will leave the consultation with a comprehensive health action programme and can start your journey to wellness.

As a member of both the National Institute of Medical Herbalists the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy, I am fully insured and bound by a strict code of ethics.
