What to Expect in a Herbal Consultation

Everything begins in the garden.

You will be gently invited to walk among the living herbs — to smell their fragrances, touch their leaves, and begin to feel their presence. This is more than a consultation; it is the beginning of a relationship.

As part of your session, you are welcome to pick any herbs that call to you and enjoy them as a freshly prepared herbal tea during your consultation. This sensory, embodied experience invites you to connect with the plants beyond their physical properties, feeling their energetic resonance and subtle wisdom.

Herbal medicine is deeply holistic. It’s not just about what a plant does, but how it feels, what it stirs within you, and the connection it invites. This soul-to-soul meeting with the plants is what sets herbal medicine apart from allopathic approaches. The focus is not only on treating symptoms, but also on restoring relationship — with nature, your body, and your inner wisdom.

Initial Consultation

• Duration: 90 minutes

• We will explore your full health and family history, assess your diet and lifestyle, and discuss your current concerns in depth.

• I will also carry out naturopathic diagnostic assessments, including tongue, pulse, and iris analysis.

• Together, we will create a tailored treatment plan to support your unique constitution and healing goals.

Herbal preparations (such as tinctures, teas, or balms) are made specifically for you and may take up to 48 hours to prepare. Collection or postage options will be discussed during your session. Herbal medicines are not included in the consultation fee though these will be discussed and agreed during our session.

Follow-Up Consultations

• Duration: 40 minutes

• We will review your progress, discuss any changes in symptoms or wellbeing, and adjust your prescription as needed to support your continued healing journey.

Additional Testing

At times, I may recommend additional testing to gain a clearer understanding of the underlying imbalances contributing to your symptoms. The cost of these tests is in addition to my consultation fee. I will interpret your results and integrate them into your treatment plan with care and clarity.

Online Consultations

If you are unable to attend in person, I also offer an online clinic. Please email me to arrange your virtual appointment.

My herbal clinic is tucked away on my family’s organic smallholding in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside offering a peaceful and nourishing space to begin your healing journey.

Many of the herbs I use have been grown here specifically to be used as medicine and I also wildcraft those that grow abundantly in our local hedgerows and meadows. The herbs are dried for infusions and tinctures as well as personalised formulas tailored to each person’s unique needs. Harvesting herbs is always done with intention and in alignment with lunar cycles to honour natural rhythms and vitality.

Once you have had an initial consultation and are a registered patient, you are welcome to purchase herbal preparations from my dispensary for acute or first-aid support as needed. This also includes detox and seasonal cleanse formulas.
