From Personal Struggles to Practical Solutions: My Journey into Herbal Medicine
Hi, I’m Sandi—Your Partner in Natural Healing
I'm a medical herbalist who holds a with First-Class Honours degree in Clinical Herbalism from Lincoln College (validated by the Open University), but my education started long before that—with my own journey of managing painful, heavy periods and hormonal imbalances. Now, as a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH), I use my knowledge to help other women regain control of their health naturally.
If you’re struggling with reproductive health issues—painful periods, hormonal imbalances, PCOS, or other cycle disruptions—I understand how overwhelming it can be. My journey into herbal medicine started because I wanted real, natural solutions—not just quick fixes. Now, I help women like you find lasting relief and balance.
My Story: From Pain to Empowerment
For years, I suffered through relentless period pain. Each cycle meant days curled up with a hot water bottle, barely able to function. On top of that, winter brought a fog of exhaustion and low mood that I later learned was seasonal affective disorder (SAD). It felt like my body was working against me, and I was just trying to survive.
Doctors offered solutions, but they didn’t address the root of the problem. Painkillers took the edge off, but they weren’t a real fix. The pill was an option, but I didn’t want to override my cycle—I wanted to understand it.
That’s when I discovered herbal medicine. Ginger tea eased my nausea. Raspberry leaf softened my cramps. St. John’s wort lifted the weight of winter. The changes weren’t instant, but they were steady—and for the first time, I felt like I had control over my body, rather than fighting against it.
Why Herbal Medicine?
Herbal medicine isn’t just about treating symptoms—it’s about working with your body to create real, lasting change. Every woman’s hormonal balance is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why my practice blends traditional wisdom with modern research, ensuring that the herbs you take are safe, effective, and tailored to you.
Unlike conventional treatments that often suppress symptoms, herbal medicine helps restore balance naturally. Whether you need to support progesterone production, regulate oestrogen metabolism, or manage stress-related hormone imbalances, the right herbal approach can make a profound difference.
