I started a diploma in Herbal Medicine many years ago in Australia but didn't finish it, so I'm jumping back in with both feet! I'm passionate about period health, menopause, fertility etc, and I treat a lot of people with these issues in my massage practice. I'd love to be able to use herbal medicine along with bodywork.

I have always worked with plants: over the past 12 years as a vegetable grower and, the past 6 years as a grower of herbs plants in my own small nursery, Wyse Worts. I have had several profound experiences in my life of healing through medical herbalists, which has brought me here. Since being a teenager I have wanted to train to the level where I might be able to offer that to others.

I have always been interested in how the body works and completed a Biochemistry degree in 2008, but have since been out of the field. A recent interest in foraging and nature has lead me to herbs and how they can be used to heal and it has opened up a whole new world where there is so much to learn
