After completing 2 years of Horticultural study I decided to focus on the healing qualities of plants, and I enrolled into a Level 8 Honours Degree course in Herbal Science. I am currently undertaking a Level 9 course in Traditional and Integrative Medicine.
My goal is to create a holistic healing plan that is individually tailored to meet your needs. This can incorporate herbs, changes in diet, supplementation and lifestyle changes.
How long does a treatment plan last?
Unlike prescription medicine which can be seen to have an immediate effect, herbal medicine, supplementation and lifestyle changes can take a little longer to show their benefits. This is why the standard rule of 3 months of supplementation/lifestyle changes is usually required to reach the desired outcome.

Do I sell any supplements or herbal preparations?
No, Although I have worked in production I have found it is a better option to have you acquire your own herbs and supplements as this allows me to work with a larger array of herbs and supplements which can be more tailored to your individual needs and goals. I do however suggest shops where you can purchase these supplements and herbs from that will meet my quality standards and are also affordable.
