About me
I am a fully qualified Medical Herbalist working from Peebles and Galashiels in the Scottish Borders.
My herbal medicine degree is from Napier University in Edinburgh and I set up in practice in 2008 when I graduated.
My approach to patient care and treatment is to work with you, the patient, to move towards the best possible health that you can achieve. We begin with a one hour consultation which gives you time and space to tell your story in a safe and confidential environment and to fully explore your medical history. Then with the use of herbs, combined with lifestyle and dietary changes where appropriate, the healing changes can begin.
I am happy to see people with all types of health conditions and/or concerns. I am particularly interested in the role that stress, anxiety or other emotional states play in the overall health of a person. With this in mind, through the consultation process, together we build up a complete and in depth picture of your health, often over several visits. This ensures that all aspects of your health are covered in any treatment plan.
If you are wondering whether herbal medicine can help you, I am more than happy to have an initial chat on the telephone.
