Be the change you want to see in your world

Health and wellbeing

 

Nutrition

What we eat is a key influencing factor in the state of our health. We are learning more about individual responses to food; that one size doesn’t fit all. Working together gives us the opportunity to find out what works for you and how to make sustainable changes where needed. Good nutrition is for life.

Herbs

Medicinal herbs have been used for millennia to support health. They have evolved with us, in the same environment as us. They embody medicinal complexity, containing numerous constituents that impact many different physiological pathways. As a medical herbalist, I am fully trained to work with herbs skillfully to support health.

Microbes

Microbes are integral to human health. Through interactions with our gut lining, immune system, nervous system and our hormone system, they influence every level of human function. To some extent, this microbial interface is malleable; there are things we can do to ensure it contributes to health rather than detracting from it.
