Inspired Herbal Medicine

 

Endobiogenic Medicine Practitioner and Medical Herbalist

I have clinics in both Surrey KT11 (close to M25 and A3) and Central London W1, and I offer in-person and online consultations.

Feel free to request a call back or a free pre-consultation chat (up to 15 min).

I am a medical herbalist with a BSc Honours in Herbal Medicine (First Class) from the University of Westminster and I am a qualified Practitioner of Endobiogenic Medicine.

I keep my own herbal apothecary with over 150 herbs sourced from top-quality producers and suppliers. This enables me to create bespoke herbal formulations designed for each client’s functional needs. I work using liquid herbals, high quality herbal tablets and nutritional capsules, food choices and life style advice.

Please see client testimonials and photos of my work.

I specialise in a personalised approach for:

  • Women’s Hormonal Health including frequent / infrequent periods, heavy /painful periods, premenstrual syndrome, endometriosis, fibroids, PCOS, unexplained infertility, menopause, osteopenia / osteoporosis, hair loss, migraines, fatigue, fibromyalgia, anxiety, chronic, or interstitial, cystitis, thrush and pelvic pain.

HOW I WORK

I offer my clients flexibility, either to purchase a single consultation or a bundle -see my Contact page and request my T&Cs for full options; special plans and functional tests are also available. After a thorough initial consultation, I will formulate for you a bespoke and fully-supplied herbal and nutritional plan, focused on addressing your individual symptoms as well as some of the deeper factors contributing to your health problem. Herbal formulations and any supplements costs are fully quoted at that stage for your approval. After our follow-up appointment, further refills can be resupplied.

My principles of practice

I have found that many of my clients have complex needs that do not fit within a particular ‘box’; thus, I always keep my approach focused on the individual.  My principle of practice is to deliver personalised medicine to suit the individual needs of each client.

Most conditions are not just the result of a single organ under stress but involve a wider maladaptation.  I aim to affect not only the outward manifestation of ill health, but also to address the underlying imbalances that are contributing to it.  My approach is holistic as I see each individual as an integrated whole, not simply as a set of symptoms.

 

What is Herbal Medicine?

Herbal medicine has its roots in the ancient world of Greece and Rome and in the observations and writings of famous doctors such as Hippocrates and Galen.  They used medicinal plants and codified their actions on human biology.  

Their writings were re-discovered in Britain in the 16th century and became hugely successful, helping to develop a strong herbal tradition.  All peoples of the world have developed and relied on medicinal herbs for health across millennia and molecules from the same medicinal herbs have been used to formulate many western pharmaceutical medicines. 

However, unlike pharmaceutical medicine, herbal medicine uses the whole herb and this allows the diverse phytochemicals to work in synergy with the body, to support and expand its own innate healing power.
