My name is Keren and I am a Medical Herbalist registered with the National Institute of Medical Herbalists.
I have been working as a Medical Herbalist since 1996. These many years in practice means I offer you a wealth of clinical experience and expertise.
All delivered in an approachable and down to earth way.
I am a Western trained medical herbalist. I like to work energetically with herbs, but also very open to what science now informs us about our traditional medicines.
I throw in a bit of functional medicine, proven nutritional and dietary protocols and I am a big fan of using Hair Mineral Analysis to further guide clinical decisions.
Basically I have developed a toolkit that I know works for me and more importantly for my clients to get the results they are looking for.
The National Institute of Medical Herbalists are the largest and oldest register of qualified Medical Herbalists in the UK.
I have been a Member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists since 1996 after completing my training at The School of Phytotherapy in Sussex.

We start with a detailed discussion about what it is you are trying to resolve. Common problems include skin issues, irritable bowel, menopause, unexplained fatigue, lowered immunity and of course in this day and age stress and anxiety.
But we don't just focus on the main problem. I will ask about other health issues, previous health concerns, family history and your nutritional status.
It's about getting a picture of you, your constitutional health and where things have gone out of sync.
I might recommend further testing such as hair mineral analysis or carry out a physical examination such as taking your blood pressure.
I will then formulate your herbal prescription, discuss with you what herbs I am prescribing and why.
I will then dispense this for you to start your herbal medicine programme straight away.
Consultations are available face to face or via Zoom with one of Scotland's most experienced Medical Herbalists.
