Held by herbs is a unique, self paced, 3-6 month consultation process that aims to explore and tend the emotional root cause of your symptoms, conditions and dis-ease. You will be held in a trauma aware space where together we take the time needed to understand your current state of health (body, mind, story and soul) and the nature of what you are experiencing.
My approach is rooted in sensory herbalism and includes:
~ dowsing of your body as a diagnostic tool (with your consent)
~ mentoring, life coaching, story medicine listening therapy and solution focused therapy
~ food as medicine: supplements, nutritional guidance and recipes
~ menstrual cycle awareness: tools to support you to understand and support your hormones and menstrual cycle
~ nervous system awareness: practical tools to help you manage overwhelm, stress and anxiety
~ ancestral healing: ways to receive support from well and wise ancestors, methods to heal your lineages / family relationships that may be impacting your health and create boundaries with your family of origin
~ grief tending: everyday support for feeling and processing grief, rage and anger
~ nature connection and ritual arts practices: small everyday practices we can create together to help you feel calm, connected and a sense of belonging in this world

Wondering if I can help?
Unsure of your support options?
Let’s work together to find the support that’s right for you. Schedule a free 20min connection call to explore a tailored package designed just for you.
We will discuss what you’re experiencing and where you’d like to be. Whether we decide to work together or not, you will learn something about where you are at from our conversation.
The herbs you receive
You will receive a prescription of herbs on your treatment plan and can choose to source them yourself or purchase from my apothecary.
The herbs I offer have been grown in my herb garden (exceeding organic standards) or responsibly wild-gathered. Therefore, I work with herbs are found naturally on our doorstep here in England rather than turning to healing plants imported from other cultures and continents.
Herbs are administered as drops/tinctures, teas or tonics and are created uniquely for you to gently initiate your body’s innate healing responses. Remedies are valued between £5-20 per remedy. The amount you spend on herbs is agreed before I prepare them.
For potency, herbs are hand-gathered, home-processed, stored in optimum conditions in my home dispensary. The vibrancy of the herbs from my dispensary far exceeds people’s expectations due to the regenerative way they are grown, how they are harvested (timed carefully with optimum solar and lunar cycles), how quickly they are dried and the careful way they are stored in small batches.
You have the option to have your consultations at the herb garden where you’ll have the opportunity to meet and learn about the plants you are working with.
The land is in some way part of our process together even if we work together online. I will guide you to find the herbs that can support you in your local area and teach you how to make your own remedies from them if you are interested.

Notes about health, wellness and herbs in these times
Our health, ability to cope and be well in the modern world is not entirely personal or separate from the health of what is happening around us. There is nothing wrong with us because we experience challenges, pain, discomfort or physical symptoms. What we experience is reflective of something far bigger than any one of us.
“It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society” [Krishnamurti]
The healing process we embark on with the held by herbs process holds an awareness of this. I understand that we live in a hyper-individualised culture with an economic system that isn’t set up for us to flourish equally. I offer support with an awareness of the systems of harm, extraction and oppression that our bodies experience as survival mode, discomfort and stress (but at the same time get normalised at business as usual).
We have an animal body that lives within an ecosystem that is experiencing heavy pollution, toxicity, biodiversity collapse and climate uncertainty. Many health challenges are understandable responses when we consider how our animal bodies interact with the environment we inhabit.
And I know that herbal medicine can help us with our health through these times. Herbs have evolved alongside the human body for millions of years and they are very willing to help us.
I can’t change the way things are but I can walk the path of healing and transformation with you: to witness, listen and suggest ways towards greater ease, insight, awareness and wellness with herbs as our guide.
Tending to our individual health and wellness is part of the collective resourcing and the change we need.
It is as an act of deep love, self respect and social/ecological responsibility to recognise you need support with what you are experiencing.
Thank you for being here.
