About Me
Originally trained in the arts I had a career as both a freelance artist as well as a in Arts Education. After my family grew up I later retrained in Western Herbal Medicine after a life long interest in plants, plant medicine and health. I graduated from the Betonica School of Herbal Medicine and am a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, the largest body of professional medical herbalists in the UK which has operated since 1864.
​
I am passionate about health, well-being and education and run a range of practical workshops on how to easily integrate herbs into everyday life. I am also the founder and owner of Queen of Camellias Tea Company, committed to selling excellent quality loose leaf tea and herbal teas grown using organic methods.
​
Living in towns and cities we can become disconnected from nature; herbal medicine is a way of connecting with the plants. I feel privileged to be in a situation where I work with both plants and people and I am keen to share my love of plants and medicine with you on your journey to better health.
