Digestive issues and gut dysbiosis

My View

I believe that women’s health in the modern world is increasing being challenged by processed diets, xeno-oestrogens, lifestyle factor, sedentary lifestyles, environmental pollution and chronic stress.

Hormonal imbalance in women in my experience is often a result of these combined factors.

I take a holistic approach and incorporate herbal medicine, functional nutrition and lifestyle factors into my treatment approach.

I believe little positive changes can make a BIG difference over time and I aim to fully support women sustainably to make these changes to reach their health and wellbeing goals… and feel good in the long term!

The Initial Consultation

The initial consultation will last an hour with a review of your health and past medical history including diet, medication and supplements and family history.

After the consultation I will write you a personalized treatment plan with nutritional, supplement and lifestyle advice. I often include hormone healthy recipes ideas to get you inspired!

I will then prescribe a course of herbal medicine which is reviewed every 4 to 8 weeks dependant on presentation. We keep in contact and you are free to email with questions.

Functional testing

I work with various laboratories and can also order adrenal stress tests, hormone panels, thyroid tests, digestive analysis and DNA tests to provide a tailor made and specific treatment and try to get to the root cause of your symptoms.

I also work alongside other practitioners including experienced acupuncturists, osteopaths and body work practitioners and will refer you to them for additional support if I feel you will benefit.

I use a wide variety of herbs, in tincture, capsule, powder and tea form. Many of the herbs I use are known as tonics and adaptogens, herbs that support the body’s resisilence to stress.

These include herbs such as ashwagandha, liquorice, shatavari, schizandra and many many more…

Each prescription is unique to you… no two precriptions are ever the same… I always treat the individual not the condition.

Testimonials

Mia, from LondonPCOS, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, hormone imbalance, herbal medicine
After months of scouring the internet and consulting various medical professionals in search of a solution to my PCOS- and almost giving up- I had finally stumbled upon Sara's website by chance. I decided to give medicinal herbs a try, and it was one of the best decisions of my life! Sara has been supporting me for a little over 6 months now, and I can honestly say her tinctures made such a difference. My PCOS symptoms are gone and I'm back to being the best version of myself.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, kind and supportive professional who really cares about her patients, you came to the right place. Once again, thank you Sara for all you have done for me!
T from West Sussexinfertility,IBS,
I came to Sara as I was struggling with infertility and IBS. After one month of taking the herbs, I fell pregnant. My IBS symptoms have also reduced by 70%. Thank you, Sara!
Alison, yoga teacher and mum of 4
I’m feeling really well at the moment and just thought today how much more energy I seem to have despite a really busy few weeks.

Sleep has improved but is still top of my NY intentions but my caffeine curfew and ashwaganda capsules (when needed) have definitely helped.

Touch wood, I have avoided any coughs or colds though am surrounded by bugs of all sorts at the moment so my mix of tonic and supplements seem to be doing the job!

All in all, I’m so grateful to you as have felt a total shift in mood, attitude to food (I’ve almost lost a stone so far) and energy/immunity levels. Thanks so much.

I would like to express my deep gratitude for all your help, kindness and support over the last 6 months. Meeting you on the health retreat for women and your herbal remedies have been life changing for me. I have struggled with acne most of life, and within only 3 months I cant believe the difference the herbs have had on my skin. Now 6 months on and my face is pretty much clear of acne.

I have learnt so much from you about natural healing. Your professionalism, kindness and concern is unsurpassed. Thank you
Lou, Nutritional therapist
I'm really enjoying those herbs. Very tonifying...And the red skin patches have gone... and somebody commented on how good my skin looks!! I'm feeling strengthened by the herbs...Thanks Sara!
Desi, from London diagnosed with PCOSpcos
I've had PCOS for over 4 years and showed most of the symptoms, including irregular periods and acne prone skin. From my first appointment with Sara, I was put on a healthy diet and began taking herbs, which were tailored to my symptoms. Only after a few months of treatment, I already started to see changes - my periods regulated, my skin began to clear up, I felt a lot more energetic than I had in a long time. Sara was very professional with everything and gave very clear instructions on the diet and taking the medicine. I would definitely recommend Sara. Her treatment helped to greatly reduce my PCOS and a year later I no longer need to take anything for it
Caro from the US

I had been diagnosed with hypertension 12 years ago. My GP put me on some diuretics which worked well for the last 10 years but for the last 2 years my BP has been creeping up. My GP was keen to get me on the next treatment option on the ladder as prescribed by the NHS. I decided that this is not what I wanted so I changed my lifestyle completely and upped my exercise. This had an effect but my BP but it still fluctuated a lot. I arranged to see Sara. I now take one tincture three times daily and my GP can not believe the changes. The last time I had my BP taken at the clinic it was 124/77. Thank you Sara!

I went to see Sara as I had hormonal problems resulting in heavy and painful periods with substantial pre-menstrual tension, low mood and low energy levels. She prescribed herbal medicines to help regulate my hormones. I now have lots more energy, more concentration and focus and my mood is much improved. My periods are now manageable without copious amounts of over-the-counter painkillers, and my body feels like it is functioning much better. I highly recommend Sara, both from my personal experience of her treatment, and as a Registered Osteopath myself I professionally refer my own patients to her for herbal medicine when required.

I have been successfully treated by Sara for the adrenal fatigue that I was severely compromised by in the last year. Her methodical approach to finding the 'right' herbs has supported me to return to full health and vitality. As well as her expertise and professionalism in the field of Medical Herbalism, I can also vouch for her exceptionally kind, generous and empathic nature. She is a person that works from the 'heart', and this adds an added dimension of depth to her practice. Thank you Sara, it truly was a blessing to have you in my life.
