a Medical Herbalist and member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH). I trained with Heartwood, founded by NIMH and I have a BSc Honours in Psychology and Philosophy from the University of Bristol. I believe that nature has power beyond our imagination to facilitate healing on a fundamental level, and by working with nature we can find our way back to our health. This shift requires commitment from both the practitioner and the patient – I am here to guide and support, but the patient does the healing.
I work with deep respect for traditional knowledge, combining this with contemporary insights into the pathophysiology of conditions and treatment strategies, and the mechanisms of medicines, utilising shared knowledge from other practitioners, and budding data on the herbs themselves. What I do best is helping people identify the blocks in their life that hamper their wellbeing on a psychological, social and physical level, and shift themselves towards greater wellbeing and toward feeling more themselves.
