During the first consultation, lasting approximately 60 minutes, a full medical history will be taken and a physical examination may be done if appropriate. A herbal prescription, usually in the form of tinctures, teas or creams will be tailored to the patient's individual needs and made up by me after each appointment. Follow-up appointments will take place after 2-4 weeks depending on the condition and these last approximately 30 minutes. All herbs used are from reputable sources and where possible organically grown or wild crafted.

​

What can be treated?

Stress, mild to moderate depression, anxiety, arthritic conditions, digestive problems, eczema and other skin conditions, asthma, high blood pressure and other cardiovascular complaints, gynaecological problems, menopause, PMS, respiratory conditions, thyroid problems.
