Do you want answers to your health puzzle?
When I have a consultation with a new patient and ask about their medical history I am not only looking at their current concerns. Instead, we should take a more holistic view of health. What was the trigger for your present symptoms? What factors keep these symptoms going. In many cases, the only way to move forward is to find and address an underlying problem.
As a herbal and functional medicine therapist, I know the importance of a holistic approach. The root cause of your illness might not be apparent. For instance, if you have irritable bowel syndrome, there can be several factors to consider. Do you have an underlying recurrent infection? Could your digestion be better? Perhaps you want to find out why you have food cravings or bloating. Or, you want to understand which foods you can eat without being ill.
Are you already taking prescription drugs, but they don't make you feel better? Conventional medicine may suppress symptoms, but will it make you healthy again?
Some orthodox medicine can make you feel worse. For instance, many prescription drugs can deplete your body of nutrients or have other side effects.
If you have read this far, I know you are looking for something more than symptom management. Do you want natural solutions such as herbal medicine to bring vitality and ease back into your life? If so, then please reach out.

What my patients say about me
"Having struggled with chronic heartburn for many years, I knew something in my diet needed to change but could not work it out for myself. After a comprehensive intake process and initial consultation, Nikki suggested a low FODMAP diet, which I had previously avoided because it seemed too difficult. With her support including meal plans and recipe recommendations, I adopted the diet and noticed an immediate difference..."
"Great service, in a lovely relaxed setting. I had a couple of acupuncture appointments for digestive issues, it worked wonders! I was given fantastic advice which I follow religiously..."
"There were times when I felt worry from certain symptoms and Nikki was only ever an email away to provide a reassuring ear and offer any advice that would help."
"After an extremely stressful period of my life, different acid suppressant drugs from the doctor and antibiotics, my tummy was in a terrible state, I had no joy from using pharmaceutical drugs to help get better and my body was saying enough was enough, I was very down about it and it was affecting my life, that's when I started to look into alternative support and found Nikki..."
"I still have contact with Nikki as I am not a 100% but she has taken me from being 2% of myself to 95% I have been able to get my life back, maintain a healthy weight and be happy again, I couldn't recommend Nikki highly enough she is a very supportive, professional and experienced herbalist who will tailor-make a plan to support your recovery and be by your side the entire way."
How I can help
Herbal Medicine and Nutritional Therapy
Following a thorough assessment of your current health, we will discuss a treatment plan that works for you. Optimal nutrition will usually form the cornerstone of your plan. However, with years of clinical experience, I know which herb or herbal product can help. As an experienced therapist, I know which medicinal plants to avoid if you take any medication from your doctor.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a wonderful adjunct treatment to herbalism. They complement each other very well.
I find that acupuncture especially is a great way to promote relaxation and relieve stress. It can also improve your energy levels and help combat pain.
I offer acupuncture treatments in a comfortable atmosphere that will make you feel right at home.
