About Juliette
Medical Herbalist in Newquay, Cornwall
My journey into herbal medicine
My interest in herbal medicine began over 15 years ago, inspired by my own experiences of health and wellbeing, and a growing fascination between plants, people and the natural world.
What began as a personal interest developed into a professional journey through Ayurvedic diet & lifestyle, naturopathic nutrition, plant based nutrition, and eventually clinical Western Herbal Medicine.
I have always been drawn to the meeting point between traditional medicine and modern scientific understanding. For me these approaches are not mutually exclusive; They offer different perspectives that can inform a thoughtful and individualised approach to health care.
Credentials & History
I am a qualified Medical Herbalist, Heartwood Education graduate, and member of the National Institute Medical Herbalists (NIMH), having undergone 5.5 years of training in evidenced based clinical herbalism, anatomy, physiology and pathology, plant science, herb / drug interactions, and clinical skills, including 550 in person clinic hours.
I also hold qualifications in Naturopathic nutrition, Plant based nutrition, Ayurvedic diet & lifestyle (Dip), and massage therapies (VTCT).
Totalling over 15 years of combined study, and practice in natural health services, updated every 3 years with continued professional development (CPD).
My approach to herbal medicine
I believe good healthcare begins with listening.
During a consultation, I take time to understand your health concerns, medical history, current medication, diet and lifestyle.
This allows me to develop an individualised herbal medicine and wellbeing plan that reflects your needs.
My approach brings together clinical assessment, with careful consideration of herbal safety and potential interactions with prescribed medicines.
Where appropriate, herbal medicine can be used as a complementary approach alongside conventional healthcare, with communication and referral to othere healthcare professionals when needed.
Weather you’re seeking support for a specific health concern or exploring herbal medicine for the first time, I welcome enquires about consultations.
