I studied naturopathy at the Southern School of Natural Therapies back in the early 2000's. Naturopathy had taken me by surprise in the 90's when I was working in a fast pace investment banking firm and suffering from chronic bad health. A colleague suggested I see her naturopath, Gill Stannard, who was a well known and highly skilled traditional naturopath using herbs, diet and lifestyle changes to support her CBD based clientele.
From my very first session with Gill it was a total mindset reboot and metamorphous. Once I had recovered my health I went to live in the UK for a number of years. In London herbs and nutrients are widely available to the general public and I started treating myself and discovered a love for the process of understanding the causes of ill health and the path to wellness.

I have well over a decade of experience as a naturopath. I use herbs and nutrients to address infection, illness and chronic conditions. Now is a time when both our immunity and general health need to be strong and functioning powerfully. It is also a time when addressing issues like breathing, sinus and allergies is essential.
In these times I work to get and keep you healthy, strong and able to face many challenges. As we move through uncertain times we need good energy reserves. There are many herbs and nutrients that support adrenal function and enable us to operate well under stressful circumstances. With well over a decade of experience I craft personalised herbal mixtures and compounded nutrients.
The health of our digestion is the bodily system that we have the most level of awareness, through daily stool movements. It is also often the first area in our bodies that we become aware of imbalance through bloating, pain and reflux. From a naturopathic perspective the health of the digestion has a significant affect on the rest of the body including the brain, nervous system and immune system.
Chronic health conditions occur when there are symptoms of ill health for an extended period of time, many weeks or months and some times years. Often there is a wide range of symptoms in different parts of the body. You may have gone to your GP or specialists and either had a diagnosis or perhaps there is no definite diagnosis at all.
The gut is a particularly sensitive area of our body. We are much more aware of its function than other organs due to our daily consumption and digestion of food. We develop our relationship with food from an early age and this relationship can be beneficial or it can be complicated.
We work closely with you to understand your body's food needs and how best to prepare, eat and choose foods that support you and replace or modify foods that your body either finds difficult to digest or cause negative reactions.In this process it is important to address any toxicity issues which my be compromising your digestive, immune system or liver function, and further adding to the affect of food issues.
