Bee has always had a deep interest in health and in plants.  She ran a busy practice from her home in London, prior to moving to Whitchurch.  Bee trained as a herbalist at the Scottish School of Herbal Medicine, completing their extensive four year BSc (Hons) training programme and obtaining over 500 hours of clinical experience at a number of student clinics and well established private practices.  Her first degree was a BSc in Botany and Zoology, obtained at Stellenbosch University, South Africa.  Bee also spent a few years working for various organisations, gaining experience of different work cultures and industry sectors.  She has worked for both large and small organisations, along with having worked at blue chip companies and in the government and charity sector.  This has enriched her practice through an enhanced understanding of the demands and pressures of modern everyday life.

Herbal Medicine is Effective, Safe and Sustainable.  It helps to treat the underlying cause of the dis-ease, and not just the symptoms.  In combination with nutritional and lifestyle advice herbal medicine offers longer term healing and improved health.
