What I offer — and how I work

Herbal medicine is one of the oldest forms of medicine on earth, and one of the most widely used. Around 80% of the world's population still relies on plant-based medicine as a primary form of healthcare. It is not alternative. It is ancestral.

As a clinical herbalist, I use plants in a range of forms — tinctures, teas, powders, capsules, and topical preparations — to support the body in doing what it already knows how to do: heal, regulate, restore. My training spans Western Herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurvedic study. I draw on whichever tradition serves you best, sometimes all three. I also bring the French phytotherapy tradition into everything I do: a relationship with plant medicine woven into my culture long before it became my profession.

Plant medicine is the foundation of everything I do. Each formulation I make is built specifically for you: your body, your history, your particular version of what you are experiencing. Not a standard protocol for your diagnosis. Yours.

Each initial consultation results in a personalised written protocol, a herbal formulation designed for you, naturopathic recommendations, and where necessary, guidance on sourcing quality ingredients. You leave understanding what you are taking and why.

Herbal medicine can help with a wide range of conditions, including hormonal imbalances, endometriosis, PCOS and PMOS, perimenopause, chronic fatigue and burnout, digestive issues, skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis, anxiety and stress, sleep difficulties, immune weakness, autoimmune conditions, blood sugar imbalances, allergies and hayfever, fertility and pre-conception support, and recovery from injury or overtraining. If your condition is not on this list, it does not mean I cannot help — it means we should talk first.

Symptoms are rarely the whole story. Naturopathy is the part of my practice that asks why — why is the body responding this way, what is it trying to protect, what has been asked of it for too long. We look at nutrition, lifestyle, sleep, stress, the patterns that are so habitual they have become invisible.

It is always integrated with herbal medicine in my practice. The two inform each other. You will never leave a consultation with a herbal protocol and no understanding of what else your body needs — because the plants and the lifestyle are not separate things. They work together, and so do we.

Before I formulate anything, I need to understand your constitution — not just your symptoms, but the underlying patterns that shape how your body responds, what it tends toward, where it holds tension and weakness.

Iridology, tongue reading, and pulse reading (in person) are the tools I use to build that picture alongside your full case history. Each one reveals something different — the iris maps constitutional tendencies, the tongue reflects the current state of your digestive and immune systems, the pulse tells me about your energy and organ function in ways that a questionnaire cannot.

None of these replace your story. They deepen it. Together with everything you tell me, they allow me to formulate something that is genuinely specific to you — your body, your constitution, your particular version of what you are experiencing. This is why my initial consultations take 90 minutes.

This is where my practice began — not in a clinic, but in my own body.

For seven years I navigated endometriosis, PMOS, immune weakness and chronic fatigue through a system that kept sending me home without answers. I was an elite athlete fainting at training, on a daily preventative dose of strong painkillers, told repeatedly that the problem was my resilience — or lack thereof — rather than what was actually happening in my body. When I finally had a diagnosis, the answer was: there is no cure. I had to find another way.

What I know from that experience, and from 500 hours of student clinic working with women navigating the same conditions, is that hormonal illness is not one thing. Your endometriosis is not the same as someone else's endometriosis. Your chronic fatigue has its own particular shape, its own triggers, its own relationship to your sleep and your stress and your history. A protocol that doesn't account for that specificity will only ever scratch the surface.

I was a synchronised swimmer training at national level when my body stopped cooperating. I know what it means to live in a body shaped for performance — its logic, its demands, and the particular distress when it no longer does what you need it to do. I also know how rarely that grief gets taken seriously in conventional sports medicine.

My approach for athletes covers recovery, inflammation, adaptogens, hormonal disruption linked to training intensity, and the support needed when injury or illness forces a stop. It is clinical and it is personal, because for me it always has been.

This is bodywork rooted in the Ayurvedic tradition — working on the back, neck, shoulders, scalp and face. It releases tension that has accumulated in the places the body tends to hold it longest, and it resets the nervous system in a way that talk alone cannot.

Clients describe leaving feeling like they are floating. I mention this not as a selling point but because it is true, and because for many people — particularly those carrying years of chronic pain or stress — being physically held and worked on is part of the healing in a way that nothing else replaces.

Ideal for chronic headaches, neck tension, insomnia, and mental overload. Can be booked as a standalone session or combined with a herbal consultation.
