Meet Ruth

Hi, I’m Ruth… I am a genuine, conscientious practitioner, dedicated to using natural healing approaches to support health, wellbeing, and recovery from illness. I am a qualified Medical Herbalist with over 30 years of experience in the NHS and social care as an Occupational Therapist.

 

I have a deep passion for the natural world and am committed to using sustainably sourced herbal medicine. I grow and forage many of the plants I work with, ensuring high-quality, ethically harvested remedies. I also love sharing my knowledge of nature, sustainable foraging, and the benefits of plant-based medicine.

 

If you’re interested in learning more, feel free to explore my events, workshops, talks, and herb walks or book a discovery call with me.

Why See a Medical Herbalist?

Plant Medicine Works!

 

A Medical Herbalist looks beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of health issues, supporting your body’s natural balance and resilience.

 

Herbal medicine is gentle, effective, and tailored to you. Treatments may include teas, tinctures, capsules, creams, or baths, drawn from traditional knowledge and modern science. Prescriptions typically guide your body back to balance.

 

Consultations are thorough and supportive, considering lifestyle, diet, emotional wellbeing, and medical history. Your herbalist can safely work alongside conventional medicine and spot any issues requiring urgent referral.

Testimonials

Ruth put together a tonic specifically designed to help with my heart issues and circulation.
 
After a couple of months my symptoms have greatly improved, especially discolouring in my hands and feet which are a much healthier colour. I also have more energy and improved mood.
 
I am most impressed by her work.
