The Story Behind Holistic Herbal Alchemy
I’m a mother, passionate hiker, nature lover, and the founder of Holistic Herbal Alchemy, based in the North East UK.
Nature has always been my greatest teacher, and I’ve come to understand that our bodies are not separate from nature, they are part of it. This belief sits at the heart of everything I do.
For more than 16 years, I worked in a demanding corporate career where constant pressure, deadlines, and expectations gradually took their toll. Although successful on the outside, I became increasingly disconnected from my health, my intuition, and the life I truly wanted to live. This experience became the catalyst for a profound personal transformation.
As I began to restore my own wellbeing, I explored breathwork, nervous system regulation, meditation and energy work, while reconnecting with more natural ways of supporting health, from what we consume to the products and environments we surround ourselves with each day. Through this journey, I discovered that wellbeing is about more than simply addressing symptoms; it is about reconnecting with ourselves as a whole.
This journey led me to train as a Lifestyle & Fitness Vitality Practitioner through the John Ogden Academy of Evolving Vitality, where I learned to recognise the body's subtle signs of imbalance and support wellbeing through a preventative, whole-person approach. Alongside this, I am currently studying towards a degree in Clinical Herbal Medicine, further deepening my understanding of the anatomy of the body, herbal therapeutics and the ways lifestyle and natural approaches can support overall wellbeing.
My mission is simple: to help you understand your body, reconnect with your vitality, and make informed choices that support your wellbeing, while reconnecting you with the innate wisdom that has always been within you.
I believe the body is always communicating, and when we learn to truly listen, we create the opportunity for renewed vitality, greater balance, and a deeper connection to ourselves.
The garden was the first apothecary, and every meal was the remedy.
"You Are Your Own Healer"
The Vitality Approach
My work is grounded in the principles of Evolving Vitality, a preventative wellbeing system developed by Dr John Ogden TCM dip.ac, DNM, a qualified Doctor of Acupuncture and Doctor of Naturopathy, through more than 30 years of clinical experience and over 9,000 patient case studies.
The founder of this unique Vitality Screening System, Dr John Ogden, is a world-renowned expert in evidence-based, anti-ageing treatments that have been tested in hospital-based clinical trials. Having developed and tested his theories through real-world clinical experience, he went on to create the Evolving Vitality Vitality Screening System to share his knowledge and experience more widely.
The system is designed to be portable and dependable, with an approach that looks beyond individual symptoms to explore the underlying patterns that may be influencing wellbeing.
Rather than viewing symptoms as isolated issues, Evolving Vitality recognises them as signals that can provide insight into the body’s current state. Changes in energy, digestion, stress response and overall vitality can offer useful information about how the body is responding to everyday life.
By paying attention to these signals, we can begin to recognise individual patterns and identify areas where greater support may be beneficial. Combining Eastern health principles with a modern vitality-based system, Evolving Vitality considers the many interconnected factors that can influence our wellbeing.
Every consultation looks beyond individual symptoms to consider the whole person, including lifestyle, nutrition, environment, stress, daily habits, and the relationship between physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
I believe the body has an incredible ability to adapt and restore balance when given the right foundations. My role is to help you understand the patterns within your wellbeing and guide you towards personalised lifestyle choices that support your body’s natural processes.

Digestive issues
Bloating
Heartburn & reflux
