Herbal Medicine

Herbal medicine is a traditional form of medicine that’s been around for thousands of years. Every country and every culture has it’s favourite herbs and ways of using them in food and medicine.

How do Herbs work?

Herbs work with your body to assist in a number of different ways. They may assist healing processes, stimulate or inhibit different organs or systems, reduce inflammation, or support normal functions. The philosophy behind herbal medicine is to assist your body in being able to function normally once again.

Herbal medicine and nutrition are an extension of each other. As Hippocrates said  “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” As a herbalist, I work with nutrition and diet to see what could be added in to balance your diet and support your body’s healing process.

Herbal Medicine Consultations

I completed my Diploma in Herbal Medicine in 2003, and have had ongoing training in herbal medicine with some of the top herbalists in New Zealand and Australia. I started my clinical practice in 2003, and I also taught herbal medicine and nutrition for 7 years at the Waikato Centre for Herbal Medicine from 2001 – 2008. Even though I closed my clinic in 2019, I’m now back in practice once again.

During a herbal medicine consultation, I will assess your current and past health history, and gain an understanding of the outcome you’d like. Please understand that I can only do so much for you – you will have to make an effort too!

Once I’ve gathered the information I require to determine the best herbal remedies for your needs, I will mix up a formula of between 3 and 6 different herbs. This is your magic medicine! You will need to take this every day to get the outcome you require. Please follow the instructions to get the best result.

Testimonials

I definitely feel empowered … there’s a sense of ‘I’m in control’ post each session with Helen. The work that Helen has done with me is extremely personal and deep, and she has every quality that one would hope for when releasing such traumatic and life changing experiences. Helen has an approach that I feel comfortable with and have never experienced before.

I came to Helen with an issue I have struggled with for a long time. Helen gently guided me into a relaxed state where I was able to access a memory from my early life that related to this issue. It was awesome to get some clarity around where it came from and I felt I was able to create resolve in that memory which brought me relief. I felt deeply relaxed, and completely supported and safe.

When I met with Helen for a hypnotherapy session, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Helen delved deep into the blocks I was holding onto to clear them and let me be my best self! I have had two sessions and both sessions have been extremely successful. A great therapy with great results!

The hypnotherapy sessions have been life changing for me. What Helen identified as being issues for me were right at the heart of the matter, and the results have wildly exceeded my expectations.

I was struggling with my studies and afraid I wouldn’t pass my course and graduate with my mates, so I went to Helen for hypnotherapy. I found her really easy to talk to and she helped me see how I could use my time better, trust my memory, and find the motivation I needed to study. I passed my next test with 100% and finished my year strongly.

I have only had two sessions of hypnotherapy with Helen but already I’m seeing changes in my behaviour and life patterns.  Day to day life does not feel so exhausting and I feel more relaxed in the things I do.  The sessions were very simple, easy to attend and relaxing.

Helen has helped me undertake an amazing journey of self-discovery.  During this journey I have learnt more and more about myself as Helen has helped me peel away the layers to allow me to really see myself clearly for the first time.  Helen has patiently but firmly guided me and by not allowing me to dodge the hard questions has made me at last be honest with myself.
