ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Laura, founder of Flora Natural Health. ​
I'm a medical herbalist in Lincoln with a passion for supporting people on their journey to better health and balance.
My approach is calm, intuitive, and compassionate - helping you feel supported on your journey back to health. My consultations are never rushed; instead, I take the time to listen carefully, so we can uncover the root causes of your health concerns.
I love being a herbalist and helping people rebalance their health. I treat all kinds of of health issues, whether stress, skin issues, digestion, hormonal imbalance; I am open to treating all areas. However, I am particularly interested in how emotions affect health.
​
I qualified with a first class honours degree in herbal medicine in 2017. From there I built experience working as a herbalist at a natural health clinic in North Lincolnshire alongside functional doctors, nutritionists and other holistic practitioners. In 2022 I set up my own herbal medicine practice, Flora Natural Health.
​​
My journey into natural health began when I was drawn to research my own health issues in my 20's. I was amazed at what a difference changing my diet, adding herbal supplements and reducing stress made to my health. From there I was hooked. As I started a family, I wanted to find natural alternatives in pregnancy and to help my children with everyday ailments. Then I stumbled across the herbal medicine clinic at Lincoln University and knew I had found my vocation!
​
Alongside herbal medicine consultations, I run herb walks, workshops and talks on health and well-being and I am now also part-time lecturer for the Clinical Herbalism degree at Lincoln College - the same course I began studying myself just over 10 years ago!
​
I am a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH) which is the UK’s leading professional body of herbal practitioners. I also work to uphold my own knowledge in training and CPD each year.
Outside of work life, I am a busy mum to four boys and a Labrador called Fred and I love nothing more than a day out in the wild exploring together.

WHY CHOOSE HERBAL MEDICINE?
Herbal Medicine is a natural form of healthcare and is suitable for all ages. Herbalists treat the whole person, exploring areas of your lifestyle such as diet, exercise and emotional well-being. Everyone is different, therefore every prescription is tailored individually.
Whether you’re looking for support with a specific condition or simply want to improve your overall wellbeing, herbal medicine offers a natural and empowering path back to health.
​
During your first herbal medicine consultation, I provide a safe and welcoming space where you can share your health concerns openly. Examinations such as blood pressure, pulse, and clinical observations will be carried out also.
Your initial consultation allows me to get to the root of your concerns, whether you’re seeking support for digestion, sleep, stress, skin health, immunity, hormonal balance, or anything else. After the consultation, I then create a personalised herbal treatment plan which will be sent to you via email. Your herbal prescription may include tinctures, teas, capsules, or creams, tailored to your individual needs.
Follow-up consultations give us the opportunity to review your progress, adapt your prescription, and continue supporting you as your health evolves.​​
Care is taken to ensure any current medication is not affected by the herbal prescription.
​
Herbal medicine can gently support many aspects of health, whether you’re dealing with long-standing issues or simply want to feel more balanced and energised. Each treatment plan is unique, designed for your individual needs.
People often come to see me for support with:
-
Digestion - bloating, indigestion, reflux, constipation, or general gut health
-
Sleep & energy - insomnia, broken sleep, fatigue, or low vitality
-
Stress & mood - anxiety, overwhelm, depression, or emotional balance
-
Women’s Health - menstrual cycle issues, menopause, PMS, PCOS, hormonal changes, or fertility support
-
Skin health - eczema, acne, psoriasis
-
Immunity - frequent colds, post-viral fatigue, or general immune resilience
-
Respiratory health - coughs, allergies, hay fever, or asthma support
-
Joint & muscle health - aches, arthritis, or recovery from injury
Herbal medicine works best when it looks at the whole person, not just the symptoms. By addressing the root cause as well as the surface issue, it can help restore balance and support long-term wellbeing.
