FOR WOMEN ACROSS THE UK • ONLINE & IN-PERSON

Your results came back normal. But you still feel anything but.

I am a medical herbalist and functional medicine practitioner. I specialise in finding what standard testing misses, the patterns, connections, and the underlying reasons why your body is struggling. I work with women across the UK, online and in person.

Particularly if you have been told your tests are normal, tried a lot of things without lasting results, and are looking for someone who will take the time to look at the whole picture.

Advanced Functional Medicine Health Consultant

Qualified. Experienced. Thorough

Hi, I’m Nikki. I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with women across the UK, in person and online.

My approach starts by looking at how your body is working as a whole. Your gut affects your hormones. Stress affects your digestion. Poor sleep drives inflammation. These are the kinds of connections I look for.

Conventional medicine is brilliant at some things, but looking at the whole picture takes time. I build that into every consultation. I listen carefully and welcome your questions. The plan we build together is grounded in evidence and shaped around you.

“My GP simply didn’t want to know, and for a long time I was struggling and at a complete loss. Nikki’s calm and understanding approach truly felt like she was holding my hand. I have turned a huge corner in controlling my symptoms and understanding the health issues I have to deal with.”

How this works

A Hello Call
We begin with a complimentary 15-minute Hello Call. This is a relaxed conversation to explore what has been going on for you, what you are hoping for, and whether my approach feels like a good fit.

15 minutes. Completely free. No obligation.

Your initial consultation
If you decide to go ahead, we’ll book a ninety-minute consultation. This is a detailed, whole-person review of your health history, current concerns, and day-to-day patterns, so nothing important is missed.

Your personalised plan
You receive a clear, written plan tailored to you. This may include herbal support, nutrition guidance, and practical lifestyle steps, explained and paced realistically.

Frequently asked questions

What happens during the free Hello Call?

It is a relaxed 15-minute chat over the phone or Zoom. You can tell me a bit about what you are struggling with, and I will explain how I might be able to help. It is not a sales pitch, and there is no obligation to book a full consultation afterwards.

Do I need to prepare anything for the Hello Call?
No preparation is needed. Just bring yourself and any questions you have about how functional medicine and herbalism work.
Do you work alongside my GP?
Absolutely. My approach is complementary to conventional medicine. I always ensure that any herbal or nutritional protocols are safe to use alongside any medications your doctor has prescribed.
Who do you typically work with?
I work primarily with women across the UK, online and in person. Many of my patients have been told their tests are normal, yet still feel unwell. If that sounds familiar, a Hello Call is a good place to start.

“Nikki left no stone unturned to get to the root of my issues, and explained things thoroughly… Nikki was very confident that the plan would work… and it did! I am now HPV negative. Whenever I have questions she is very supportive, knowledgeable, and responds quickly… I will always come back to Nikki with any health issues I may have.”

 

“I started to look into alternative support and found Nikki. Nikki has been excellent and has supported in every possible way, … has reassured me at times of worry about my health and guided me in the right direction… It was very reassuring having a check in…”

 

“Nikki has helped me optimise my diet to remove the cause of my symptoms and avoid long term medication”

 

Oh my gosh I feel so wonderfully supported by you! I really appreciate the amount of time and effort you have put into my plan…

 

“I’m so happy to have found Nikki and I’m grateful for all she has done for me. I therefore have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending her.”

Doing Everything Right and Still Stuck?

You’ve adjusted your diet. Tried supplements. Made practical changes.

But progress feels partial or temporary.

This free guide looks at why health concerns often cluster, and why single fixes rarely create steady change.
