I have been a fully qualified and practising medical herbalist since 2004. Since that date I have run a successful practice under the name Rosemary & Thyme. I currently work at The Whole Works, and also run various clinics throughout Edinburgh & West Lothian. You can find more details about my wider practice at the website given above (online from November 2009). I am also a qualified masseur and reflexologist.
My BSc in Herbal Medicine was undertaken at The Scottish School of Herbal Medicine in Glasgow, where all students were lucky to benefit from the expertise of some of the leading herbalists in the UK and abroad. The training demands all the requisite skills of the orthodox medical practitioner but combined with energetic and pharmaceutical plant study and nutrition.
My practice is therefore focussed on how the herbs can benefit you not only pharmacologically but energetically and spiritually too.
I believe the body has a wonderful capacity for self-healing and can be helped towards this by the use of our native herbal plants.
Herbalism uses medicine based on the whole plant, and 90% of my medicines are organic and biodynamically grown. The herbs are suited to all ages of patient and a very wide range of conditions. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need further details.
