CONSULTATIONS

Modern wood-clad outdoor building with large glass doors and windows, surrounded by lush green plants and flowers, with a gravel pathway in the front.

You are welcome to my Garden Clinic in central Winchester. Herbal consultations are very different to the consultation you might have with a doctor because we have the luxury of time. Time to explore your health in depth, and time for you to think about how to best start your healing journey.

You are the expert in your body. It’s my task to help you to understand what’s going wrong and to give you strategies for wellness. Our conversation will help you gain clarity about your health and will allow you to consider how you want to manage your healing process.

Your treatment typically begins with a 4 step process

Indoor space with wicker chairs, wooden table with a flower vase, potted plants, and large sliding glass door leading to a lush garden with flowers and trees.

For everyday concerns, one to two consultations may be all that’s needed.

More complex concerns typically follow my collaborative 4-stage process over two to three appointments, with regular check-ins as your health journey proceeds.

FAQs

  • This depends entirely on your condition, treatment plan and progress.  It might just be a couple of visits or we might decide to work together over a longer period of time with regular check-ins.  Check-ins are shorter appointments and can be done online if you prefer.

  • I usually prefer to meet you face-to-face in my clinic room for your first two appointments as it’s a much better way to get to know each other.  But if you are unable to travel or live too far away, we can do appointments online.  I also give you the option to have follow-up appointments online.

  • Herbal medicines can be prescribed in a variety of forms, including teas (herbal infusions), tinctures, capsules, creams and ointments. The format I recommend will depend on your health needs, the condition we're treating and your personal preferences. Most prescriptions are individually blended in my dispensary, allowing me to create a bespoke herbal medicine tailored specifically to your needs and preferences.

  • This will depend on the type of herbal medicine prescribed. Herbal tea are prepared as infusions using boiling water poured over the herb, tinctures are usually taken in a little water, and capsules are taken with water. I'll explain exactly how and when to take your medicine, and your dosage will be tailored to your individual needs to give you the best chance of success.

  • That's absolutely fine. Different preparations extract different groups of phytochemicals, so sometimes a tincture is the most appropriate choice. However, in many cases herbal teas, capsules or other preparations can be equally suitable. I'll always explain the options and, wherever possible, tailor your prescription to your preferences as well as your clinical needs.

  • Treatment is as individual as you are. Some people only need a short course of herbal medicine, while others benefit from longer-term support to restore health and build resilience. We'll review your progress regularly and make decisions together about how long treatment is appropriate

  • Not routinely, as most questions are best discussed during your consultation. However, if you have an urgent question about your herbal medicine or treatment, you're welcome to contact me via WhatsApp and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
