I grew up surrounded by very knowledgable plants women who would tell me to pick feverfew from the garden for a headache rather than take a paracetamol, so my recognition of natural medicine started at an early age.

Then my own health journey began with unexpected illness in my twenties. My options through conventional medicine were limited, but eventually I found the guidance and support I needed from a reflexologist and herbalist healer. Some of her approach was new to me, but I was intrigued and to be honest, pretty desperate. Despite my reservations, with time, patience and education I recovered. Completely.

That was 30 + years ago, and started me on a path to natural medicine and healing.

During that time I became a mother, and those 3 pregnancies and home births really did help me understand the strength and resilience of the human body! They also inspired me to specialise in maternity reflexology and train as a birth doula in 2006. As with the circle of life, my own journey then led me to a hysterectomy, so I studied and learnt from that too.

Some of my proudest work is helping women navigate those times of life when your body feels like it's not your own.

I have been an avid beekeeper, herb grower, created my own natural product range, and am now a master herbalist.

I have spent over 28 years treating clients in my own UK clinics, Neal’s Yard Remedies in London, and Ayurvedic centres in rural India. I love my work, and it's essential in this modern age to look at a joined up approach to health.

So whether you are simply aiming to feel well, you're navigating a pregnancy, building balance during menopause or want to tackle a specific stubborn condition, my approach and toolset are tailored to you
