Where folklore
meets science
I'm Ellie, a NIMH registered medical herbalist based in Caerphilly, South Wales, with a deep rooted passion for the healing potential of plants.
I studied a four year full-time training programme with Heartwood Education, graduating with distinction. The course entailed the study of pharmacology, pathophysiology and herbal tradition with 500 hours of clinical practice.
My practice is rooted in western tradition and folklore, backed by the evidence base of modern clinical research. Every consultation is individual and involves a deep dive into all aspects of your health. A treatment plan will be tailored to you.

Ancient wisdom,
modern medicine
Herbal medicine is not the opposite of science, it is science. The same active constituents found in many pharmaceutical drugs were first identified in plants. What herbal practice adds is complexity: whole plant extracts contain dozens of compounds working in synergy.

My child has ARFID which means he is unable to swallow medicine. Ellie was not only knowledgeable and understanding about the condition (something we had not experienced with any other medical practitioner) but she was then able to suggest tailor made appropriate remedies. She went completely above and beyond to offer individualised care and we could not be more grateful.
