About Me

How do you become a Medical Herbalist is a question I’ve been asked many times. There are many different paths. Mine stemmed from a love of nature, with the outdoors being my ‘safe-space’ where I’d always retreat to if I felt the need for clarity or time to recharge. 

 My interest in the natural world led me to study for a first degree in Plant Biology. During my studies I worked with, and received treatment from, a local herbalist who supported me throughout the four years that followed. On completion, I made a decision to pursue further training and applied for a Herbal Medicine degree course. Those next three years were a real journey of discovery into the healing world of plants.

After graduating, I spent the next seven years working for an organic herbal tea company, I became part of their herbal team where I trained and educated people in the benefits of natural medicine. During this time I also began building a private practice where I developed a keen interest in supporting those with anxiety based conditions, treating depression, stress and trauma.

I started to notice that many of my patients used the well-known ‘Bach Rescue Remedy’ as an extra support. This led me on a journey into learning more about the benefits of each of the 38 individual Bach Flower remedies and how they treat specific emotional states. I’m now a fully trained Bach Flower practitioner, after having completed the practitioner level training at the Bach centre based in Oxford. 

 I now run my own private herbal medicine and flower remedy practice from my home in Wells, Somerset, where I live with my daughter Jasmine.

I am registered with the National Institute of Medical Herbalists and am a qualified Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner
