Business Details
Medical Herbalist for Women's Hormonal Health
With over 15 years of experience as a medical herbalist, I combine rigorous scientific training with deep anthropological insights to address women's hormonal health. As a BSc (Hons) qualified practitioner and member of The National Institute of Medical Herbalists, I specialise in creating personalised treatment plans that integrate plant-based medicine, targeted nutrition and lifestyle modifications. My approach considers the interconnected nature of gut health, stress levels, nutrition and physical activity to identify root causes of hormonal imbalances.Having worked with hundreds of women across their life cycles, I employ tinctures, herbal powders and functional testing to restore vitality. My practice bridges modern research with traditional herbal knowledge, offering safe, effective support for conditions ranging from polycystic ovarian syndrome to perimenopausal transitions. I maintain strict professional standards while collaborating with conventional medical practitioners to ensure comprehensive care.

Hormonal Health Consultations
Personalised consultations address hormonal imbalances through comprehensive health assessments. We evaluate nutrition, stress levels and lifestyle factors alongside functional test results to create bespoke treatment plans. Each consultation includes tailored herbal prescriptions, nutritional guidance and lifestyle recommendations for restoring hormonal equilibrium.
Herbal Medicine Prescriptions
Customised herbal formulations combine tinctures, powders and capsules to address individual needs. Using adaptogenic herbs and medicinal mushrooms, our prescriptions support the body's natural healing processes. Each prescription evolves with your progress through regular follow-up consultations to ensure optimal effectiveness.
Functional Testing Analysis
Advanced functional tests investigate hormonal balance, gut health and metabolic function. We utilise DUTCH tests, adrenal stress profiles and comprehensive stool analyses to inform treatment decisions. Test results guide targeted interventions while monitoring your progress throughout treatment.
Menopause Support
Specialist support addresses perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms through herbal medicine and lifestyle modifications. We focus on managing hot flushes, sleep disturbances and mood changes while promoting long-term health through balanced hormonal transitions.
PCOS Management
Holistic treatment plans target polycystic ovarian syndrome through herbal regulation of insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance. Combining nutritional interventions with adaptogenic herbs helps normalise menstrual cycles and address skin and metabolic concerns associated with PCOS.
