Medical herbalist and functional medicine practitioner

In-depth consultations for when you still do not feel well

Perhaps you have seen your GP, had tests come back normal, tried elimination diets or supplements, and still feel that something is not right. You are not looking for another quick opinion. You want someone to take the time to look at the detail and join the dots.

I take a full health history, look for the patterns and the chain of events that brought you to where you are now. Then we make a clear, personalised plan for your next steps.

15 minutes. Completely free. No obligation.

A proper conversation about your health

I work with women who have often been trying to get to the bottom of a health concern for a long time. I spend time learning how you live, what you eat and drink, how you sleep, what your stress looks like, and what has happened in your life over the years.

I have more than 20 years in practice as a medical herbalist, with degree-level training in phytotherapy, a Postgraduate Diploma in Nutritional Medicine and advanced functional medicine training. I bring these together with careful attention to your individual story. I will explain things simply, so that you can understand what is happening in your own body and why I am making particular recommendations.

Your plan may include a bespoke herbal prescription, dietary guidance, nutritional supplements where appropriate, practical lifestyle changes, or functional testing if it would help us make a more informed decision. It will evolve as your needs change.

How we work together

There is a clear process, but it is always tailored to you and the detail of your health history.
1

Hello Call

We begin with a complimentary 15-minute call. We can talk about your main health concerns, what you are hoping for, and whether working together is likely to be a good fit.
2

Your information

If you decide to go ahead, I will send you secure, comprehensive intake forms. I review these before your appointment so that we can make good use of our time together.

3

Your evolving plan

We explore your history and current concerns in depth, agree a plan, and review how you are getting on. Your herbal prescription and recommendations can change as your body changes.

consultation fees

The details

Your consultation fee covers more than the appointment itself. It also reflects the time I spend reviewing your information, considering the relevant details of your health history, and writing or updating your personalised plan.

I offer consultations online across the UK and in person at The Holistic Health Centre in Cottesmore, near Oakham, Rutland.
