How to work with me

ONLINE CLINIC: 1:1 Virtual consultations via Zoom

Chinese medicine sees each person as an individual so treatments are very personalised which is in direct contrast to Western Medicine giving one pill for each condition. It treats the mind-body-soul.

Your body has everything it needs to heal, herbal medicine helps to unblock certain pathways and bring balance for healing. You are seen as an active participant in your healing journey, together a plan is made to bring you and your life back into balance.


A questionnaire is completed online before your first consultation to look at your diagnosis through a Chinese medicine perspective.

A picture of your tongue is sent over before the first appointment, I will provide you with a video to show you how to take the best tongue pictures. This is used to see what is going on in your body and to diagnose through a Chinese medicine lens.

BBT charts, bloods results and any other tests that have been carried out via the NHS or privately are sent over before your appointment for review.

Your bloods are analysed through a Chinese and western medicine perspective.

A detailed history is taken of your health journey so far including diet, lifestyle and exercise.

The main issues that you would like help with and your treatment goals for the future are discussed.

From this consultation, looking at your tongue and blood analysis I will formulate a Chinese herbal medicine prescription that is specific for you and your individual case.

The prescription is posted off to the lab where it is made up and then posted directly to your home.


A written report detailing how to take the herbal medicine prescription will be
provided.

Additional supplements, diet and lifestyle advice will be recommended to aid the herbal medicine formula and your individual needs.
 
Email support will be given every 2-3 weeks to see how you are progressing in your treatment plan. We will continuously take new photos of your tongue to see the progression in your symptoms.

The herbal formula will be amended each time in response to how your body responds to treatment.
