It was while I was taking a break from teaching to care for my husband during an illness that I undertook formal studies in Naturopathy.  When I graduated I had friends and family coming to me for help with various conditions, and then friends of friends… I started the clinic so I can treat all those who come to me with professionalism and with access to quality products and functional pathology.

I grow some of the herbs I use in the clinic and make many of the tinctures I utilise for bespoke medicines and creams. Currently I am investigating the use of home-distilled herbal hydrosols for use digestively and transdermally.  It is a fascinating and practical field of study, and so much fun.

Prior to our two children becoming grown-ups we were a homeschooling family which was a happy adventure none of us have ever regretted.  Currently we live in Ulverstone with an expanding veggie garden, fruit trees, a hammock, a dog and a rustic pizza oven made from old chimney bricks.
