After tests showed I was prediabetic and bordering on having metabolic syndrome, I dived into my own healing journey. To cut a long story short, I did a complete overhaul of my lifestyle and I started to heal.

Along the way, I discovered the awesome healing power of herbal medicine. Herbs have become the most amazing allies on my journey, so now I am super passionate about sharing my knowledge of these allies and empowering and supporting others on their healing journeys.

I am a qualified Herbalist and I am currently studying, working towards a Diploma in Medical Herbalism through the Southern Institute of Medical Herbalism, with the view to becoming a qualified Medical Herbalist.

All living things (including us, as humans) have an innate, biological wisdom that has remarkable self healing and repairing capabilities.

Throughout history and traditions, herbal medicine practices have had the primary goal of reducing or removing any blockages of this natural wisdom.

Herbs were our first medicines. Over countless generations, our ancestors have learned and passed on vital knowledge about which herbs could reliably ease suffering or help remove such obstacles to self-repair as infection, poor digestion, deficiencies, impaired elimination etc.

In my practice, a holistic approach is used that involves looking at nourishment, relaxation, cleansing and activation and any blocks that may occur in these aspects of the cycle of healing. Many herbs can be taken in a straightforward 'this for that' kind of way however, to get a good result when treating a complex or chronic problem it may be essential to match the right remedies to the right person and people vary according to how they are naturally hotter or cooler, and at the same time dryer or damper.
