Specialty areasHerbal medicine: I blend my own formulas for my clients, depending on their specific ailments and health concerns. Choosing from over 100 herbal extracts in my clinic, I am skilled in the knowledge of herbs and using them safely.
Nutrition: I base my nutritional advice on good, sound science. Depending on your individual health picture, I will equip you with clear instructions including healthy menu plans and recipes. Additionally, I often prescribe a variety of high quality vitamins, minerals and other nutritional supplements to help you achieve your health goals.
Food allergy testing: For many people, food allergies are at the heart of their health problems. I can help you determine if you have food allergies through laboratory testing, a special hypoallergenic diet, or both.
Naturopathy: The therapies I use such as herbal medicine and nutrition fall under the naturopathic approach. Naturopathy is a health approach which focuses on treatment and prevention of illness utilizing ‘nature-based’ therapies. Conventional medicine (going to your GP) often uses drugs to alleviate bothersome symptoms, but the drugs rarely address the cause of the symptom. Naturopathy’s primary goal is to find and remove the cause of illness, rather than simply suppressing the symptom.
ConditionsMy practice involves working with clients with osteoarthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, weight concerns, digestive problems, depression, menopause, allergies, cancer support and many other conditions.
What to expect from a sessionAn appointment with me can take place over the phone as a Telephone Consultation, or in person at my office in Minehead, Somerset.
During the appointment, we will discuss your past and current health concerns, reviewing your diet and other important features about you.
