Medical herbalist and functional medicine practitioner
In-depth consultations for when you still do not feel well
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.
A proper conversation about your health
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
Hello Call
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.
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.

Online or in person
Online appointments are usually held on Zoom. If you have not used Zoom before, I can send simple instructions or talk you through it. If you prefer another arrangement, we can discuss what will work best for you.
