Caring for the whole person through natural medicine and evidence-informed practice

Meet your herbalist

My name is Karine, and I'm a consultant medical herbalist based in East Sussex. I help people reconnect with their health through the use of herbal medicine, rooted in both traditional knowledge and modern clinical practice.

A few years ago, I faced a health challenge of my own. When conventional medicine had little to offer, I turned to herbal medicine, and it changed everything. The impact on my wellbeing was so profound that it not only helped me heal but inspired me to begin a new career.

After five years of formal study and 500 hours of supervised clinical training, I qualified with a Level 6 Diploma in Herbal Medicine (equivalent to a BSc) and became a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH).

My approach is holistic, evidence-informed, and tailored to the individual. I work with people experiencing a range of health concerns, including hormonal and digestive issues, fatigue, stress, chronic ailments and immune imbalances.

Whether you're looking for long-term support or a gentle nudge back to balance, I’m here to work with you.
