WHY WORK WITH ME:
I work with clients who are ready to explore their health from the inside out — whether you're dealing with chronic symptoms, hormonal shifts, digestive imbalance, or simply seeking energy, clarity and longevity.
My approach combines traditional herbal systems with modern biochemical insights, including lab testing when needed. Every consultation is tailored and collaborative, designed to restore balance - not suppress symptoms.

WHY HERBAL MEDICINE?
Herbal medicine is both a time-tested tradition and an evolving science.
Systems like Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), developed through centuries of observation and pattern recognition, remain relevant today — especially when paired with modern tools such as genetic testing, biochemical analysis, and evidence-based research.
Plants work because they produce biologically active compounds that directly affect human physiology. Herbal medicine offers the same principles as pharmaceuticals, but with greater complexity, natural synergy, and the ability to be personalised.

HOW I WORK
Western Herbal Medicine
Bespoke herbal formulations (tinctures, teas) based on symptoms, constitution, and physiology. Herbs are chosen for their pharmacological actions and compatibility with your medication profile.
Custom Formulation & Dispensing
Most herbal formulas are bespoke and prepared in-house . I use organically grown and responsibly harvested herbs — either sourced from reputable registered suppliers or grown and harvested by myself.
Functional Testing & Biochemical Review
Advanced lab testing to provide a comprehensive picture of your health. See the Lab Testing section for details.
Traditional Diagnostic Models
I integrate aspects of TCM and Ayurveda, including tongue and pulse reading, and energetics. These offer valuable insights into chronic patterns.
Clinical Pattern Recognition
Beyond data, I rely on pattern-based assessment and critical thinking to link symptoms, constitution, and response over time.
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
Available in-person to assess stress nervous system patterns of regulation, energy levels and resilience — see Consultations and Q&A section for details.
Genetic & Nutrigenomic Interpretation
Where relevant, I use tools like Lifecode Gx to understand patterns in detoxification, hormones, and oxidative stress.
Consultations & Pricing
I offer a range of services designed to support long-term personalised health care, whether you're looking to resolve a specific issue, prevent disease, or improve your overall resilience. Every consultation is designed to explore your health in depth, not just symptomatically, but constitutionally, biochemically, and systemically. My aim is to understand how your body is functioning and what it needs to restore balance over time. Consultations are available in person (in/around the Hertfordshire area) or online.

From November to April in-person sessions are not available.
