I have been involved with Herbal Medicine for many years both as a manufacturer and as a Medical Herbalist. I practice in Bristol at the Natural Health Clinic, and manufacture many of my medicines from locally sourced herbs. Having graduated with a first class degree in Herbal Medicine, I am continually updating my practice with new research and ideas from many different medical traditions and disciplines, keeping an open eye and open mind for what seems most appropriate and most effective for my patients.

I am a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists
