Qualifications & professional memberships

Fully trained,
professionally registered

Herbal medicine is an unregulated field, which means not all practitioners hold formal academic qualifications. I hold a full honours degree in Western Herbal Medicine from a recognised UK institution, and I am a registered member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH) — the UK's leading professional body for herbal practitioners.

NIMH registration requires practitioners to hold an accredited degree, maintain continuing professional development (CPD), and carry professional indemnity insurance. You can verify my membership on the NIMH practitioner register.

My story

Why I specialise
in hormone health

What I found — both through my own experience and through nine years of clinical practice — is that hormonal health rarely comes down to one thing. The women I work with have often already been told their results are normal, their symptoms are stress, their feelings are something to manage rather than understand. What they haven't been offered is someone willing to look at the full picture: the way the gut, the adrenals, the thyroid, the nervous system and the cycle are all in conversation with each other, all the time.

The moment I find most meaningful in clinic — the one that has kept me doing this work for nearly a decade — is when something shifts for a patient and she says: I feel like myself again. Not fixed. Not suppressed. Just back. That is what a whole-body approach to hormonal health can do, and it is what I set out to help every woman I work with find.

Today I work with women across the UK — in person in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire, and online through video consultations — supporting them through conditions that are often dismissed or misunderstood, and that respond beautifully when given the right support.

Clinical specialisations

Conditions I work with

My clinical practice focuses specifically on hormonally-driven conditions in women. I have supported over 350 patients with the following:

I do not treat all conditions. My practice is deliberately focused, because depth of clinical experience in a specific area leads to better outcomes for my patients.

My clinical approach

How I work

I take a whole-body, systems-based approach to hormonal health — not symptom management. Here is what that looks like in practice:

1. 01
   Full case history review

   Your first consultation covers your full medical history — past and present — as well as your cycle patterns, sleep, energy, mood, digestion, and stress. No symptom exists in isolation.

2. 02
   Systems-based analysis

   I look at how your body systems are interacting with each other — your HPA axis, thyroid, gut, and adrenals all influence your hormonal balance. I join the dots between symptoms that are often treated separately.

3. 03
   Personalised herbal and lifestyle protocol

   Every plan is tailored to you. I use plant-based medicine alongside evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle recommendations — nothing generic, nothing one-size-fits-all.

4. 04
   Ongoing support and adjustment

   Hormonal health rarely shifts overnight. I work with you over time, adjusting your protocol as your body responds — and checking in to make sure the plan is realistic for your life.

Patient experiences

What my patients say

Copy 2–3 of your strongest testimonials from your homepage here — ideally ones that name a specific condition, describe what changed, and include a first name and location. If you have Instagram comments or DMs where patients have shared their experience, you can use those too with a quick message asking permission to quote them on your website. Most will say yes.

External recognition

Authoritativeness is built partly through external validation — being cited, quoted, or featured by others.
