Jane has over 25 years experience as a therapist using natural remedies to help you & your family thrive.
Her practice is rooted in western herbal medicine, using indigenous plants with hundreds of years
of traditional use and she incorporates plant medicines from the Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal systems,
creating individually tailored herbal prescriptions to treat acute or chronic health problems and to give
​support for everyday function and healing.

"My fascination with medicine and plants began early, coming from a family of nurses and spending much of
my childhood surrounded by nature. My interest in using plants for healing lead me to study aromatherapy
and reflexology, followed by a BSc in herbal medicine. Studying Herbal Medicine over many years has given
me a deep respect of plants and how we're able to use them as traditional, pharmacological and energetic medicines. As a medical herbalist I combine clinical health practice with plant medicine, working closely
with each client and their individual treatment plan. Herbalism is a complementary and holistic practice
focused on restoring function and wellbeing using our wonderful plant medicines" 

Medical herbalist's are trained at length in the traditional body of plant medicine called the Materia Medica
which is used clinically and therapeutically in the treatment and prevention of a wide range of medical problems. The study of Phytotherapy (Herbal Medicine) includes plant pharmacology and interactions with
​other systems of medicine, plant energetics and the biological and clinical application of plant medicine. 

The Foxglove Apothecary is a peaceful therapy space and natural dispensary based in
Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex and is open by appointment only.
