Paying for health in the UK seems odd. We have the NHS and it’s free, right?
Of course it isn’t but because we don’t hand over the money at the time, we don’t feel it quite the same. A bit like paying on credit rather than hard cash!
Investing in your health
When we choose to pay for something, we invest in it with our hearts and minds as well as from our pockets. When we come from that place, we are empowered and make much better use of the services we are buying.

What happens next – How many appointments do I need?
The next appointment is usually after 2-4 weeks. After that, we discuss how long we think is best until the next time we meet (4-6 weeks is common). After that, it might be 4-8 weeks. This depends on you and where you feel you are in the journey. Some people like a lot of support as they make changes. Others like to do it alone. We will discuss what works for you.
The appointments do not go on ad infinitum! They become more spread out as we allow the herbs to do their work and stop once you are ready to ‘go it alone’.
Some people wish to remain on the herbal medicines but stop having regular appointments. We check in every 6 months or so to monitor any other changes.
After a while, most people feel that their journey with the herbs has finished and continue to manage their health with the lifestyle and food changes made. You can always come back and/or continue to buy other remedies from me eg Winter Wellness or Hayfever mixes
How do I pay?
I will send you an invoice with bank details for a transfer. Paying for your appointment confirms the booking. Medicines are only dispensed once they have been paid for.
Anything else?
Sometimes, I recommend specific supplements. I have discount codes with my high quality supplement companies which entitle you to 10% off their products. You can use this discount after the herbal treatment has stopped if you wish to continue using supplements.
Books, podcasts and more
