Nutrition - Herbs - Microbes
I aim to support health with compassion and candour, primarily using the key tools we evolved with: decent food, medicinal herbs and microbes. Good sleep, exercise and healthy stress levels are important factors too.
The focus is on respecting diversity, complexity and order and initiating, together, the shifts that are both possible and needed. And the key tenets we utilise in this process are nutrition, herbs and microbes.
My logo, the umbel, represents diversity, complexity and order and the possibility of these realities co-existing. The umbellifer family includes herbs such as fennel, but also the extremely poisonous hemlock. It contains the full gamut of herbal potency.
Humans are complex, unique and diverse too, as are the factors that affect health. Often, these factors take a bit of unpicking; realising we have picked up tools, habits and coping mechanisms along the way that no longer serve us.
It is ultimately down to us to navigate the changes needed. But with a willingness to embrace this reality and with the help of good food, medicinal herbs and through harnessing the potential of our microbes to support rather than undermine health, we can unlock our true health and human potential.
Be the change you want to see in your world
Health affects lives. It not only affects us individually, but it affects those around us too. How we interact with them, how we can support them, what we can offer them. Health is an individual, familial, community, societal and planetary issue.
And as organisms, we have evolved alongside the plants, animals and microbes that share our natural world. We are part of a rich and intricate tapestry and our health is intimately related to these other life forms.
I work to support health with all of these factors in mind, because each of them is relevant to the health situation in which we find ourselves.
You are a specialist in you. I am a nutritionist, a medical herbalist and fermentologist. Together, we constitute a formidable team in understanding and addressing your health concerns. This process can take time, but the ultimate aim is lasting and vibrant good health, using approaches that are sustainable for you. Improving your health not only benefits you, but your immediate community too.

I have been entranced by the sheer beauty and power of the natural world since childhood. I became seriously interested in health and how we can support it naturally when my (now grown up) daughter was diagnosed with juvenile arthritis aged 5. At that point, I realised the importance of taking responsibility for our own health.
