BSc (Hons) Psych, PGDip (Adult Nursing), Dip. Herb. Med, Dip. Naturopathy

My name is Emily. I am a Naturopathic Herbalist with a background in nursing and I'm also a bereavement support volunteer. My journey into herbal medicine was born from a deep, inner struggle. While working in A&E, I lived in a constant state of anxiety with a steady sense of inadequacy. Beyond my personal struggle, I found myself increasingly at odds with the values embedded in hospital culture - the focus on preserving life at all costs rather than quality of life, and suppressing symptoms with medication rather than empowering people to take control of their health and prevent illness.

When my father died, I became overwhelmed by chronic fatigue - a heaviness that left me exhausted on every level. Through this struggle, I had a profound realisation: this state was the result of past trauma and negative beliefs. I became committed to reaching that inner, wounded, fearful place within myself, and healing from there. In that process of self-reflection, I also acknowledged how unhappy I was as a nurse. And then it came to me: I could change careers. I could become a herbalist.

From my very first lecture in herbal medicine, it felt like coming home. This approach to healthcare deeply resonated with me and I felt a sense of purpose and a deep trust that I was on the right path.

My training included three years (reduced from 4 due to my nursing training) of dedicated study at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM) in London, where I earned a Diploma, with distinction, in Herbal Medicine and a separate Diploma in Naturopathy. This comprehensive course instilled a deep sense of confidence in my abilities and an enduring commitment to being a lifelong student of the natural world.

My ultimate goal is to create a space which allows you to feel safe and empowered, to reconnect with nature and your true, authentic self.  Let's work together to embrace your vulnerabilities and find your unique path to wellness.
