Prescribing individualised HERBAL REMEDIES
Plants are the great healers of the earth. Herbal medicine has a long history of healing which is just as relevant today as it was in the past.
Herbal formulas are useful for many purposes such as rejuvenating the immune system, detoxification of the liver, enhancing sleep and relaxation. Herbs can also support brain, heart, kidney and reproductive health.
I prescribe herbs as liquid extracts. These medicines are made from fresh herbs and contain a complex array of nutrients. Herbal formulas are usually taken in small doses, morning and night, with water.
One of my special interests is developing formulas for women experiencing symptoms from periods, vaginal conditions, peri-menopause and menopause.
I have prescribed thousands of individualised herbal formulas over my decade of experience working with women's hormone and gut health.

How does HERBAL medicine work?
Plants manufacture chemicals within their leaves, roots, stems and flowers for the survival of the plant. These chemicals we refer to as "phytonutrients." When eaten by animals or humans, phytonutrients can contribute health giving benefits to the body: soothing and healing; strengthening and rejuvenating.
Many drugs commonly prescribed today by western-style medicine make use of health giving substances that were discovered in plants. For instance, some diabetic medications were manufactured from plants that lower blood glucose and some pain-killing medications were made from plants with analgesic properties.
Your custom blend herbal medicine
for YOUR unique journey
Unlike conventional medicines, the remedies I prepare are helping to heal the body, rather than suppress the symptoms of the condition
Every woman who crosses my threshold carries her own energetic signature of health - which is why I never rely on mass produced remedies.
When you work with me, you'll receive your own completely unique herbal prescription - a custom blend created specifically for your symptoms, your stage of life, and your individual needs. It’s a living medicine, as complex as you are.
A skilled herbalist can blend together 4-6 specific herbs that target your exact combination of symptoms. Whether you're dealing with flooding periods and brain fog, or anxiety and bloating, your custom blend addresses multiple issues simultaneously in one powerful formula.
How quickly do herbal remedies work?
One of the most delightful surprises about herbal medicine is that the plants get to work quickly. You may notice improvements in your sleep, anxiety, and energy levels within just days or weeks of starting your personalised herbal formula.
Unlike synthetic medications that can take months to show effects, these plant medicines work with your body's natural healing processes to create rapid, noticeable changes. For acute perimenopausal symptoms like severe PMS or overwhelming brain fog, the right herbal combination can provide relief faster than you expect.
Discover the remarkable healing power of your own individualised herbal formula.
For chronic conditions that you may have had for 2 years or longer, I suggest that you may need to take herbs for approximately 1 month for every year that you have had the condition.
For older clients, looking to use herbs as preventative medicine, you can take the formulas either long term or intermittently throughout the year.
Other ways to take herbs
Most people get used to the unusual taste of herbal medicine quite quickly, however for those who prefer tablets, there are many different formulas that can be prescribed which can work just as well as liquids.
I also prescribe some herbs in the form of HERBAL TEA. Examples of herbal teas are sage tea for hot flushes, chamomile or ginger tea for calming the digestive system and lemon balm tea for relaxation.
If you are struggling with a skin condition, such as fungal infections, or vaginal dryness, it is also possible to apply the herbs in the form of a HERBAL CREAM.
