Here at Myrobalan Clinic I can offer you a unique way of working with your health since I combine over 20 years of Tibetan Medicinal training and practice with a Western herbal medicinal treatment approach. I'm absolutely passionate about identifying and treating the root cause of illness which is different in every case, even if the 'named disease state' is the same as in other patients. If the root cause of illness is addressed then true sustainable healing is possible (as opposed to temporary relief). My aim is always to help patients take charge of their own health and to not 'need me'. I spend time investigating the detailed case and then formulate a prescription especially for each patient, taking into account Tibetan diagnostic techniques as well as traditional Western herbal medicine. This prescription is likely to involve dietary and lifestyle advice, herbal medicines and sometimes mindfulness, meditation or visualisation techniques. There's no 'one size fits all' prescription strategy, everyone is different and I aim to tailor my approach to fit in with what people are comfortable with as well as what is needed to effect a positive change to a patient's health. I will always be honest about how I can help and give the best estimate possible of how long it is likely to take before you see results. My priority is to help people be as healthy as possible and to get the most out of this precious human life that we share. I'm not in the business of simply 'selling herbs. I view my dispensary as precious medicine to be used and taken with respect. I grow and gather most of my herbs ensuring that they are processed at the peak of their potency to produce the best possible quality medicines.. It's hard work to work in this way but it's worth it because I know I'm prescribing fabulously vibrant medicines. I truly value the medicines that I make so that is why I don't prescribe herbs unless I know they are totally necessary and appropriate. You'll get an understanding of my approach by having a look at my Notes here on my page. Behind the scenes activity is documented on my blog at http://myrobalanclinic.wordpress.com/ and more official stuff is on my website www.myrobalanclinic.com

Please note that I am only available for drop ins on Tuesday and Saturday mornings 9.30 - 1.00pm. Very occasionally I'm not there on Saturday mornings so if you are travelling a significant distance to come to a Saturday drop in please feel free to email or telephone ahead of your planned trip to ensure that I will be there to answer your query. The rest of the week when I mark myself as open I'm actually in consultation with patients who have pre-booked. If you're unable to attend at a drop in session but really want to talk to me in person please do telephone me and we can try and arrange an alternative time for a 10 minute chat.

Planting more herbs out at the mandala herb garden. Weather conditions were varied during my work trip, gorgeous bright sunshine on the first day and rain and 70 mile an hour winds on the second day.

I feel so blessed to be here doing this work even if it feels challenging at times!

After making my herbal capsules they can be dispensed. There are six different types of capsules shown here. Guess what’s in the last ones I dispense.

I’m grateful to have a tailor made capsule counter to make my dispensing easier. My very talented husband made it for me 20 years ago and it’s still in use daily!

Make capsules with me!

At the herb field again at last! The rain, wind and mud don’t matter because I’m so happy to be here!

1. Planting plenty of Paeonia lactiflora in the southern segment of the mandala garden.
2. Thyme looking good in the northern segment.
3. Garlic in the southern segment.
4. Wormwood feeling at home in the northern segment.
5. Rhubarb.
6. My Juniper babies thriving in the medicinal woodland.
7. Plants being relocated from Somerset: Root cuttings of Saussurea lappa and Geranium himalayense, divisions of Salvia nubicola, self sown Valerian, three rooted Rosemary cuttings, a young Bay, a single Umbilicus rupestris (because it insisted) and an Epimedium grandiflora which got missed when the rest were moved last year.
8. Planting out the Salvia nubicola in the eastern segment.

Another bark harvest, this time it’s home grown Slippery Elm (Ulmus fulva).

I grew a few from seed over 10 years ago and now I’m able to take a little harvest from pruned branches. It feels momentous!

It’s wonderful to be able to experience this precious medicine in its living form. The freshly harvested bark smells so sweet!

Somebody pinch me because I must be dreaming!

It’s been so much fun sharing some of the wisdom and sophistication of Tibetan Medicine with another lovely group of western herbalist apprentices. Over the next three years I’m passing on what I learnt from Khenpo Truro Tsenam when I studied at Samye Ling in the 1990’s. In accordance with his wishes and the wish of my spiritual teacher, Akong Rinpoché, we’re learning about how Tibetan Medicine can inform the way that we work as western herbalists.

Thank you so much to my lovely apprentices in both groups for coming from far and wide in order to attend in person. Together we’re creating something very special! I’m already excited for our next sessions in May!

Huge gratitude to Emma and the team from for keeping us fed and watered in such a scrumptious way!

Oh my goodness! We’ve had the absolute best time over the last couple of days, diving into the world of Tibetan Medicine and how it can inform the way that we work as herbalists within a western framework.

Thank you to my lovely apprentices for travelling from far and wide and creating such group magic. You are all amazing! I’m so blessed to have you on board!

Massive thanks to Emma and Madison from for feeding us and watering us so fabulously.

Lucky me! I get to do this all again with the rest of the apprentices in the midweek group.

It’s that time of the year!

Pouring gorgeous, deep red St John’s Wort tincture has got to be one of the best things about prescribing herbs! Just look at that colour!

I grew the St John’s Wort that went into this tincture, gathering the flowering tops in high summer and revelling in the red sap which stained my fingers.

Working with herbs that I’ve grown, gathered, dried and processed means that I have a real connection to the medicines that I make. I’m determined to prescribe them in a way that allows them to fulfil their healing destiny and I would love the recipient to value them as much as I do.

If you have aspirations to be a self sufficient herbalist yourself, do check out my book ‘Self Sufficient Herbalism’ published by . It’s a guide based on years and years of real hands on experience. In it I share my methods and tips for growing, gathering, drying, processing and storage of herbs as well as a seasonal planner so you know which herbs to harvest when. There’s a link to buy in my bio.
