Medical Herbalist in Oakham & Rutland – MNIMH Herbal Clinic

Who I help in Oakham & Rutland

Most people who come to see me have been unwell for a long time. They’ve had blood tests come back normal. They’ve tried supplements, elimination diets, and advice from various directions, and they’re still not feeling like themselves.

The concerns I see most often in clinic include:

• Gut and digestive problems, including bloating, IBS, reflux, and food sensitivities
• Hormonal changes, perimenopause, and menopause symptoms
• Fatigue, low energy, and disrupted sleep
• Skin conditions, joint pain, and chronic inflammation
• Stress, anxiety, and the physical symptoms that come with them

My approach brings together three disciplines: herbal medicine, functional medicine, and nutritional medicine. I look for the root cause of why your body is struggling, rather than focusing on the surface symptom alone.

How consultations work

I offer both in-person consultations at my Cottesmore clinic and online consultations by Zoom for people further afield. Both work well, and you can choose whichever suits you best.

Many of my patients tell me they prefer coming to clinic in person. They like sitting in the same room with someone who is listening properly, asking the right questions, and giving them space to talk through their health story without feeling rushed. I aim to bring that same quality of attention to my online consultations. Whether we meet face to face or over Zoom, the care, the depth, and the time I give you are the same.

Your first consultation is comprehensive and unhurried. We work through your full health history, your current symptoms, your diet and lifestyle, and any test results you’ve brought with you. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a clear plan and, in most cases, your bespoke herbal prescription dispensed on site from my own dispensary.

Return appointments are shorter and focused on tracking your progress, refining your prescription, and making sure the plan continues to work for you.

Where to find me

My herbal clinic is based in Cottesmore, a short drive from Oakham, Uppingham, and Stamford. I see patients from across Rutland and the surrounding villages, including Empingham and Whissendine, as well as people travelling in from Melton Mowbray, Market Harborough, Grantham, and Oundle.

If you’d like to find out whether herbal medicine is the right fit for you, the easiest first step is to book a free discovery call. We can talk through your concerns, and you can ask any questions before deciding whether to go ahead with a full consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I have a question?

If you would just like to have a chat about your health concerns, I offer a free, no-obligation discovery call.

What are Online Herbal Medicine Consultations?

Online consultations are available by zoom or similar software such as Whatsapp. All online consultations are initially booked as zoom appointments, but we can usually use another software that you are more comfortable with by arrangement.

Where can I collect my bespoke Herbal Prescription?

If your consultation is held in person at the herbal clinic, we have an on-site herbal dispensary, and your bespoke herbal prescription can be dispensed while you wait.

What are your treatments?

As an experienced medical herbalist, I offer personalised herbal prescriptions and nutritional medicine using a functional medicine approach. Patients often consult me for natural solutions for chronic health issues, especially digestive system problems.

What are the symptoms of chronic ill health?

Apart from improving gut health, I often see patients struggling with conditions such as fibromyalgia, migraine, skin conditions, fatigue, anxiety, autoimmunity and arthritis.
