ABOUT JO
I am a Herbalist, Naturopath and Iridologist based 8 miles north of Norwich in Norfolk.
I was inspired to study Herbal Medicine and Naturopathy after several years of generally not feeling particularly well. My GP couldn't find anything wrong so I decided to seek out a local herbalist. It was wonderful to find out that there were natural remedies and lifestyle changes to try that could make a real difference, and that I didn't have to carry on putting up with the way I felt.
In 2003 I gained diplomas in Herbal Medicine and Naturopathy at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London. On these courses Western Herbal and Naturopathic traditions were taught alongside the fundamental elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Indian Ayurvedic medicine. I believe that the integration of Eastern and Western traditions, therapies and philosophies provides a truly broad and rich understanding of ourselves and our place within the universe.
I became interested in Iridology during my Naturopathy diploma and I went on to study in more depth with the renowned therapist, author and teacher Peter Jackson-Main in Cambridge. Later in 2016 I completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Iridology with Peter at the CNM.
I am a member of the following bodies which ensure practitioners have attained high standards of education and expertise, and that they abide by the respective codes of conduct:
-
Association of Master Herbalists
-
Guild of Naturopathic iridologists
-
General Naturopathic Council
