Always asking why you’re unwell
I’m a medical herbalist with more than 20 years of clinical experience and a certified functional medicine practitioner. I combine traditional plant medicine with modern testing to find and treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

Personalised, patient-centred care
Everyone arrives with their own history and circumstances. My job is to investigate, understand and then address what’s really going on, using clinical testing where it helps.
I work in a way that supports your body’s own ability to heal and regulate itself. For me, success is when you no longer need my care: you’ve recovered, you’re thriving, and you can stay well through diet and lifestyle.
I have a particular interest in chronic illness: rheumatoid arthritis, gut infections and chronic gut disease, inflammatory conditions, mould illness, multiple chemical sensitivity, Lyme disease and hormonal problems including menopause.
You’re in safe hands
A medical herbalist trains for four years at honours-degree level, covering many of the same subjects as a medical degree. That’s what allows us to diagnose and to prescribe safely alongside conventional medicines.

Health is more than the absence of disease
I’d love to see a healthcare system focused not only on emergency care but on real prevention and integrative care, helping every person reach their full health potential.
I welcome every patient and offer a safe, caring space regardless of race, age, gender expression, religion, ethnic background, sexual orientation or any other distinction.
I see dramatic and powerful shifts in patients’ health and mindset, and it’s a huge privilege to be part of that journey.Jean Dow
