I have a special interest in women’s health issues especially PMS, Menopause, PCOS, fibroids and fertility issues and run the Napiers Well Woman and Menopause Clinic at Napiers Hamilton Place clinic in Edinburgh. I am also part of the Napiers Detox Clinic and the Edinburgh Fertility Clinic. However, I also see a wide range of people of all ages and can provide help, advice and support for most ailments.

Philosophy :: I work with clients to help them find ways to improve their physical, mental, and emotional health through a nutritionally balanced diet and herbal medicine. I believe in using simple plant medicines with a strong traditional usage, and use native plants where possible. In Nutritional Therapy, I try to do as much as possible through dietary changes, supporting this with food supplements, herbs and further investigations where necessary. I encourage my clients to find a balance in all aspects of their lives that is enjoyable, healthy and sustainable.

Qualifications :: I studied Herbal Medicine at the College of Phytotherapy and have completed an 4 year degree course including 500 hours of supervised clinical training. I have a diploma in Naturopathic Nutrition from the College of Naturopathic Medicine in Edinburgh and am a member of the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy (CPP) and the British Association for Applied Nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT). My background is in biological sciences and, as well as my degree in Herbal Medicine, I have a BSc (Hons) degree in Neuroscience from the University of Edinburgh.

Profile :: I am originally from the East of England, and have been living, studying and working in Edinburgh for over 17 years. I have worked in the complementary health field for more than 12 years, much of which has been spent studying Herbal Medicine for which I gained a BSc (Hons) degree in 2002.

I am passionate about good health and see ‘health’ as a positive state of being rather than the absence of disease. I enjoy cooking, eating and growing my own food at my allotment, as well as running, yoga, hillwalking and cycling to keep me fit and well.
