About Me

I studied at the University of Central Lancashire and was awarded a BSc (Hons) in Herbal Medicine. The course was accredited by The National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH).

I have been practicing for over 10 years in and around Preston and the Lancashire district.

I first became inspired by the healing properties of herbs after becoming seriously ill. My road to recovery truly started when I sought out the naturopath, homeopath and herbalist Jan de Vries. I was impressed how natural remedies could help where conventional treatments could not. Being inspired by this I went on to become a herbalist myself.

I am now passionate about assisting others on their road to recovery and in facilitating a greater understanding about health and wellness.

I volunteer as a herbal and conventional first-aider at a number of music festivals each year. I am available for talks and workshops on herbal medicine and nutrition. Examples of popular topics are:

• Stress & Anxiety - how herbs and nutrition can help

• Finding the Facts About Fats - looking at the myths and dogma surrounding dietary fat

• Resveratrol - exploring this much researched compound and its role in fighting disease

• Juice Yourself Slim & Healthy - juicing and its benefits in combating disease and supporting weight loss

• Cold & Flu Busting Remedies - discovering what herbs and supplements can do to assist in fighting cold & flu
