I do. For many conditions it is ideal to have the initial consultation in person, however I am able to offer online consultations where suitable.
-
Initial consultations last 60-90 minutes, follow-up consultations are commonly 30-40 minutes. Please see the consultations tab for a detailed breakdown of what consultations involve.

-
I ask that initial consultations be arranged with me directly, after this I will provide you with a diary link to arrange follow-ups.
-
Unfortunately there is no set timeframe I can give. Treatment responses vary from person-to person and condition-to-condition. Some conditions may require as little as 3 months of treatment or even less, others will need more time. As a general rule, the longer the condition has effected you, the longer you will need to be treated to resolve it (however this is not applicable to all cases).
-
For cancellations I ask that you provide me with 24 hours notice, as this allows me to offer your slot to another patient. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice may still be charged.

Herbal medicine is safe when prescribed by a qualified and accredited medical herbalist. I am trained in anatomy and physiology, pathology, diagnostic skills, pharmacology, and the chemistry and application of medicinal plants. This training allows me to prescribe herbs safely, use appropriate dosing, and assess potential interactions with prescription medications or existing health conditions.
As an accredited practitioner, I am also qualified to prescribe restricted medicinal plants where clinically appropriate, and I work within professional standards that prioritise patient safety at every stage of treatment. Herbal prescriptions are always personalised and evidence-informed, ensuring they are both effective and suitable for your individual health needs.
