- What is a Medical Herbalist?
A practitioner of natural medicine who has a holistic approach treating the whole person, unique in his or her health pattern. Natural Medicine is common sense medicine. It believes you are unique. Therefore, any treatment, medicine, diet or advice must be tailored to the individual – you.
- About Herbal Medicine
As your body is unique it requires individual assistance for all of its needs to be met.
When the body’s nutritional needs are not being met your body’s organs, muscles and bones have to work harder to compensate. In time this becomes a strain on the body and internally things begin to decline. Symptoms can arise in various forms, you may start to feel lethargic, low in energy, pain or sickness, the body can become stiff, or you may feel bloated, or generally you feel under par.
Herbal medicine can help restore the balance in your body as it is prescribed for your individual needs. Very few natural treatments are unpleasant or painful: if they are properly administered and prescribed you will find your health returning with a minimum of discomfort. Herbs are safe, effective, concentrated nutrition giving you the support you need to rebuild your body back to optimum health. Herbs are often prescribed sometimes with low dose minerals, because without a good mineral balance in the body, all the supplements in the world will not achieve good health.
- What to Expect
As a medical herbalist I listen to your symptoms and case history.
This involves asking questions like your current health status, family history, diet, lifestyle and current medications or supplements you may be taking, this gives me the background. I can then make a general assessment.
I also use Iridology as a diagnostic tool to give the overall health picture. The eyes provide me with the ‘fine tuning’ analysis of biochemistry and of emotional and circumstantial factors hard to determine by any other method. Illnesses past and present can still be visible, recorded in the iris; and measures can be taken to prevent recurrence. Tongue and nail diagnosis are also used and vitamin and mineral deficiencies are identified and liquid herbal tinctures are prepared for each person along with recommendations for dietary advice.

- Karens Approach to Bodywork
Karen approaches bodywork from a holistic perspective, beginning with a case history where the client’s medical history is reviewed.
Bodywork with Karen can take the form of many recognized therapies such as, remedial massage, craniosacral therapy, re-alignment of muscles, ligaments and tendons (The Lester Cox Technique), visceral manipulation, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, positional release, active or passive stretching, reflexology, and reiki.
Long-term postural or skeletal problems will cause fascia to maintain the body out of alignment causing probable referred pain and holding bones and organs out of alignment.
Approximately 75% of today’s diseases are attributable to stress and tension, various body systems are affected in different ways and varying degrees. One person may exhibit cardiovascular problems, another gastrointestinal upset, palpitations, sweating, anxiety, headaches….to mention a few of the myriad of bodily reactions to stress.
Often there’s a link between non-physical issues and specific physical concerns. Bodywork can be important during times of emotional, mental and physical stress to support the release of this energy, so that later it doesn’t manifest in the form of dis-ease.
