An Integrative & Thoughtful Approach to Health
Every person has a unique story, which is why I believe health should never be approached with a one-size-fits-all solution. My aim is to offer a thoughtful, personalised and compassionate approach that supports meaningful and lasting improvements in health and wellbeing.
I take an integrative, root-cause approach to health, recognising that symptoms rarely exist in isolation. By exploring the interconnected physical, biochemical and psycho-emotional factors that may be influencing wellbeing, I seek to uncover the deeper patterns that can so often be overlooked.
My work combines Naturopathic principles with Nutritional Therapy, Functional Medicine and Energy Healing, recognising that health is shaped not only by nutrition, but also by stress, emotions, environment and lived experience. Whilst many practitioners can identify what is happening physiologically, my background in Energy Medicine provides an additional perspective, helping to identify how chronic stress, emotional burden and subconscious patterns may be influencing physical health and recovery. Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, my aim is to understand the whole person and create a personalised path towards greater health, resilience and balance.

What is Naturopathy?
Naturopathy is generally best viewed as a spectrum of practices rather than a single treatment method; it's a holistic approach to health that recognises the body's innate capacity for healing when given the right support, through lifestyle interventions, nutrition, and natural therapies. Rather than viewing symptoms in isolation, it seeks to understand the interconnected factors influencing wellbeing and address the underlying causes of imbalance.
Drawing upon both traditional wisdom and contemporary scientific understanding. Its principles have been influenced by longstanding healing traditions from around the world, including Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine, alongside modern advances in nutritional and functional medicine.
Principles of the Naturopathic tradition:
-
The Healing Power of Nature
-
Identify and Treat the Cause
-
First, Do No Harm
-
Treat the Whole Person
-
Prioritising Preventative Healthcare
-
Naturopath as collaborative educator, rather than paternalistic authority
Many people searching for Energy Healing are familiar with Reiki, one of the most widely recognised forms of energy healing. Whilst Spiritual Healing shares similar principles, it is a distinct healing modality with its own traditions, methods and training pathways.
I'm a registered Healer with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC), the UK regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners, and my Energy Medicine work draws upon nearly two decades of study and practice in Spiritual Healing, meditation and Shamanic traditions.
Sessions may incorporate Spiritual Healing, intuitive assessment, chakra and auric assessment, Shamanic techniques, Crystal Healing and Reflexology according to the needs of the individual.
What is Energy Healing?
Born sensitive, as a child I sensed, saw and heard more. It was often confusing and overwhelming. In my late teens, I started to make sense of all of this when I was introduced to the world of psychic development and energy healing through The School of Insight and Intuition in Richmond, London. In 2008 I began practitioner-level training there in Energy Healing and Intuitive Studies, completing a three-year professional programme.
Having studied Buddhist meditation from sixteen years of age, thanks to my interest in Theology, in my twenties I developed my practice further in the monasteries and nunneries of Nepal, completing my first intensive Vipassina meditation course there in 2014, continuing to undertake further ten day Vipassina courses several times over the years.
In 2018 I was initiated into the Shamanic school of healing during my time training in the Amazonian rainforest of Peru. I've continued to undertake further training and apprenticeships over the following years in the Peruvian, Mexican and Native British shamanic traditions.
My Spiritual Healing Journey
My Health Journey
As with many therapists, my interest in health began through my own struggles. However, instead of a mid-life burnout leading to a change in career, burnout hit me as a teen. After a house move, amid family drama and school exam pressures, the persistent digestive issues I'd had since babyhood, recurrent infections over the years, and the more recent chronic fatigue and debilitating menstrual symptoms finally led to a hospital admission at seventeen. Despite numerous investigations, I was eventually told that my symptoms were idiopathic (with no known cause), and that I would likely receive a diagnosis of IBS next year when I hit the prescribed age limit, but no meaningful explanation for why my symptoms were occurring or how to resolve them.
Determined to understand what was happening, over the following years my mother supported me to see a range of complementary practitioners. This experience broadened my knowledge of holistic healthcare, and throughout my twenties I went on to study extensively, managing to gradually improve my health overall.
Over the years, in my Energy Healing practice, I would often receive intuitive guidance and recommendations for clients, including where nutritional or functional support may be beneficial. Whilst I referred clients to other practitioners where appropriate, I became increasingly passionate about being able to offer this support myself. Having spent many years studying holistic health and nutrition through both my personal and professional experiences, training in Naturopathic Nutrition felt like a natural progression. It allowed me to bring together the different strands of my work and offer the integrative approach that now sits at the heart of my practice.
