Welcome to The Herbal Practice,
How can I help you?
My name is Anne. I am a Medical Herbalist, a natural healthcare practitioner who specializes in herbal medicine involving diagnostic skills and the therapeutic management of diseases, ailments and injuries. I run an accessible community clinic and offer face to face and online consultations.
I work with patients seeking natural alternatives or receiving necessary orthodox medical care and looking for additional support to feel better, or counteract the side-effects of medicines. My practice is evidence-based and holistic.
As an integrative healthcare provider I consider the patient’s overall health. This role exceeds herbal therapeutic intervention or dispensing natural remedies and also includes promoting preventive healthcare, providing information to aid patients make educated health choices, and creating personalised treatment plans, with continuity of care. In clinic I have the capacity to give patients time to elaborate on their experience and therefore I am able to gather detailed information about their condition, progress, and expectations for their health and wellbeing so we can work together effectively to improve quality of life.
You can book a consultation at SuStudio in Poole (Dorset) via their app or contact me for assistance with booking, or an online consultation if you live further away.
You can find information about the clinic, consultations, prescriptions and what to expect from working with me and herbal medicine in these pages, or please get in touch if you need further assistance.

Herbal medicine
- also known as phytotherapy, is a traditional medical system that uses plants or plant extracts to treat illnesses and promote health. The practice of modern western herbal medicine is derived from the study of scientific evidence of plants’ therapeutic benefits and includes clinical experience, orthodox medical skills and continued professional healthcare development.
- I take a person-centred holistic approach to the patient’s current complaint and prescibe treatment based on taking a full medical history and clinical examination. A herbal medicine protocol can come in various custom blend forms like teas, tinctures (alcoholic extracts), glycerites, capsules, powders, syrups, or topical ointments/creams.

Herbs
- refer to plants that form the materia medica, the medicinal pharmacopeia, for which herbalists have scientific knowledge of medicinal benefits, indications, dosage, administration and interactions with pharmaceuticals.
- Based on meticulous study of constituents and their effect within specific whole plants, their interactions with eachother, other herbs and with pharmaceuticals, I use a variety of plant parts extracts such as roots, leaves, flowers, seeds, berries, bark or aerial parts and blend bespoke formulas.
