Book a Herbal Consultation with Sara at The Tree of Life Centre, Hove

Updated: Mar 20, 2023






I offer one-to-one consultations at the beautiful Tree of Life Centre in Hove. The centre is an integrated health centre near the popular Poet's Corner area in Hove, not far from the sea. It is a tranquil oasis of calm with a beautiful Japanese Water Garden. The reception team are super friendly and you can enjoy a complimentary herbal tea while you wait for your consultation.


INITIAL CONSULTATIONS, WHAT TO EXPECT


The initial consultation lasts approximately an hour, and in the comfort and tranquillity of one of the beautiful therapy rooms we will cover your health history, nutrition, and lifestyle. I may also do non-invasive physical examinations depending on presentation and symptoms, and what you are comfortable with. I will then write you a personalised treatment plan containing details of the herbs I am prescribing along with bespoke nutritional suggestions, suggested supplements and integrated advice.


HERB COLLECTION


After I have prescribed and formulated your herbs I deliver them to the Tree of Life, and you can collect them from the reception during opening hours.


FOLLOW-UPS


We have a follow-up after three to four weeks, I then can prescribe longer courses of herbal medicines if necessary (up to 8 weeks if the protocol is working well and any hormone issues are becoming balanced.)

FUNCTIONAL TESTING


I also offer additional functional testing with laboratories. Please note that these are at an extra cost to the Initial Consultations.


Functional testing can help get us to the root cause of your symptoms more quickly. If necessary, I advise these after the initial consultation and will recommend the best test, appropriate to your symptoms. I feel it is best to select the most useful and specific test to get to the root cause of symptoms, rather than do lots of testing at the same time, and I then use this information to inform your treatment protocol and herbs in your prescription.


Here is a selection of functional tests, I use in my practice:


DUTCH Complete: hormone and adrenal test

DUTCH offers the most extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones along with their metabolites. Additionally, an assessment of the daily (diurnal) pattern of free cortisol is included, along with melatonin (6-OHMS), 8-OHdG, and six organic acids.


GI 360: a complete gut health test

The GI-360 stool profile assesses 3 major areas of gut health:

  • Digestive function. Namely, your ability to digest protein, fats and carbohydrates.

  • Gut inflammation; Markers on this test assess inflammation in the gut and can be used to help differentiate between IBD; Inflammatory bowel disease and IBS Irritable bowel syndrome.

  • The Gut microbiome (organisms within the gut). Recent research has highlighted the important role that gut bacteria and their balance play, in not only digestive health but a whole array of different health concerns such as metabolic syndrome, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders and metabolic health and general wellness.

The Metabolmix Nutritional Evaluation from Genova A urine organic acid marker sample to:

  • Evaluate your overall nutritional status
