My Training as a Medical Herbalist

Herbal medicine is not just my work it is my passion. There is always something new to learn, not just from books, courses or seminars but also from my patients and the plants themselves.

I am a fully qualified Medical Herbalist (2002), and a Registered Naturopath and Acupuncturist, currently working in private practice in Rutland, UK. I work by appointment only, offering one to one consultations. On this page, you will find information on my herbalist qualifications and training.

My training includes the application of functional medicine principles. I specialise in working with people with complex, chronic diseases especially of the digestive tract, to achieve their optimum wellness.

I have studied several subjects and disciplines that help me in this process. I graduated with the Royal Society of Chemistry, then after studying with the College of Phytotherapy I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Phytotherapy (Herbal Medicine) with Honours, from the University of Wales, in 2002.

Since graduating I completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Nutritional Medicine, with Merit, 2007, with the University of Surrey.

I am a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy, the General Naturopathic Council and the Acupuncture Acutherapy Council. And I am currently working towards certification with the Institute of Functional Medicine.
