Medical Herbalist and Endobiogenic Medicine Practitioner
I am a medical herbalist with a BSc Honours in Herbal Medicine (First Class) from the University of Westminster. I am also a qualified Practitioner of Endobiogenic Medicine.
I am an expert in women’s hormones, gastrointestinal problems, skin and immune health. I am here to help you if you have a specific problem, or any complex combination of the above, as multisystem dysregulation is common in the modern world.
My work is flexible and client-focused to address your different needs. These are some of the type of work I do:
Most of my women clients have functional symptoms with their hormones (periods, menopause, endometriosis, pcos /pmos), gut, skin, immunity or a combination; my clients value a natural rebalance and restoration of the body. My great expertise in herbs, the complex and natural medicines of the world, enables me to design personalised herbal formulations which have guided many women to self-regulation and recovery.
Fertility can be naturally enhanced through hormonal balance and better overall function: my herbal approach has achieved first pregnancy past the age of 40.
Excess weight at menopause or earlier is not just an aesthetic issue. It feeds the loop of estrogen and insulin dysregulation and presents risk for long term health. Let me help you with my all-natural system of hormonal balance for weight loss. My approach does not require strict dieting and it aims to preserve muscle mass.
Eczema, psoriasis, shingles and infections arise from chronic dysregulation in immunity, the gut and the nervous system. External skin applications can be part of symptom management, but generally more internal work is required using the regulatory properties of herbal medicine. My approach has achieved some incredible transformations. Please browse my Skin section for evidence of my before / after work.
I offer coaching for chronic or autoimmune conditions such as Crohns, ulcerative colitis, IBS, diverticula, fatty liver, as well as for endocrine pathologies such as pre-diabetes, hypo-thyroid or osteopenia. My coaching sessions introduce nutritional strategies, nervous system regulation and targeted herbal support, at the level that you decide you need.
A dysregulated nervous system is a true epidemic of our era; it is a systemic factor in chronic low quality sleep or insomnia, feeling ‘tired but wired’, brain fog, fatigue with consequences for low mood, anxiety, weight gain and lowered immunity. Sleep is not just a state of rest; just think of how the glymphatic system requires deep sleep to flush toxins and metabolic waste from the brain. Let me help you recalibrate your nervous system with herbal support.
If you have had cancer diagnosis and seeking a better post-treatment recovery please get in touch.

HOW I WORK
I have clinics for consultations in both Cobham, Surrey (close to M25 and A3) and Central London W1, and I offer in-person and online consultations. I keep my own herbal apothecary with over 150 herbs sourced from top-quality producers and suppliers which enables me to create bespoke herbal formulations designed for each client. I only work naturally, using high quality liquid herbals, herbal and nutritional capsules, food choices and life style advice.

My principles of practice
I have found that many of my clients have complex needs that do not fit within a particular ‘box’; thus, I always keep my approach focused on the individual. I am commited to delivering personalised medicine to suit the individual needs of each client.
Most conditions are not just the result of a single organ under stress but involve a wider maladaptation. I aim to affect not only the outward manifestation of ill health, but also to address underlying imbalances that are contributing to it: hormonal imbalances, digestive deficiency, lack of nutrients, excess of toxins. My approach is holistic as I see each individual as an integrated whole, not simply as a set of symptoms.
The complexity of human biology is suitably addressed by the complexity of the herbs.
If you are already on medication, I will advise you about taking herbs alongside it.
What is Herbal Medicine?
Herbal medicine uses whole-medicines in the form of medical plants. It has its roots in the ancient world of Greece and Rome and in the observations and writings of famous doctors such as Hippocrates and Galen. They used medicinal plants and codified their actions on human biology. Their writings were re-discovered in Britain in the 16th century and became hugely successful, helping to develop a strong herbal tradition. All peoples of the world have developed and relied on medicinal herbs for health across millennia; molecules from the same medicinal herbs were used to formulate many western pharmaceutical medicines. Nowadays, scientific research into herbs is ongoing and many of their traditional uses are confirmed. Unlike pharmaceutical medicine, herbal medicine uses whole herbs as whole medicines and this allows the diverse phytochemicals to work in synergy with the body, to support and expand its own innate healing power.
