my practice

In my practice, I hold a supportive space for you to talk openly about your experiences. A space in which you are seen as a whole being and not just as your symptoms.

As a herbalist, I am trained to look at the body as one interconnected whole. I aim to guide you through an exploration of your health, integrating scientific and energetic principles to best understand the patterns of your body, lifting off the layers to uncover the root causes of imbalance.

Together we work with herbs to treat the root causes, bringing balance and restoration to the whole body and spirit.

I qualified with a degree in herbal medicine from Napier University in 2009, and have been a practising herbalist ever since. I keep my practice up to date with regular self study and training seminars.

My areas of special interest and experience lie in digestive and microbiome health, hormonal balance (female, thyroid, adrenal), autoimmune conditions, and skin health.


consultation & treatment

Your initial consultation will last for one hour. We will discuss in depth your current symptom patterns, medical history, emotional wellbeing, lifestyle patterns, digestive health, and diet.

From the information we gather I will form your treatment protocol. We will work with tailored herbal blends, and I will offer guidance on dietary and lifestyle adjustments where needed.

I will be on hand to answer any questions you may have while we are working together with the herbs, and we will schedule follow-up consultations as regularly you require.

 functional testing

In some cases, it can be beneficial to work with functional testing to gain a deeper understanding of the physiological balance. I am experienced in working with tests investigating digestive health and the microbiome, women’s hormones, thyroid function, and adrenal function, and can discuss these with you during your consultation.
