Our new clinic is opening
in October 2026
1:1 medical herbalist appointments with Maria Fernandez Garcia, NIMH
For people who want to understand what's going on in their body, stop getting confused about endless supplements and look beyond just managing the symptoms.
We’ll focus on what and how you want to change things.
We'll talk about:
your current symptoms
past medical history
your digestion, stress, sleep, food + daily habits
-
Herbal medicine is just one part of a much wider strategy to support you in your healthcare journey.
I'll always be honest about where herbal medicine can help and where you might need conventional treatment too (including guidance on getting the right care from your GP, if that's what's needed).
My aim is to help you advocate for yourself, inside and outside of our clinic space.
-
First appointments are held in person at our clinic in the centre of town. If access needs make that difficult, we can do your first appointment online instead. Follow-ups can be in person or online, whichever works better for you.
Thursdays and Fridays, 10am - 6-pm, one-hour slots on the hour.
Weekend appointments available on request, get in touch.
Any follow up appointments can be in person or online.

I’m qualified to treat a range of conditions using herbal medicine, but I’m honest about when herbal medicine is not right for you. I will advocate for you to get the right support from your GP and other health professionals so you get the best care for your condition(s).

Our appointments
Enough with endless supplements
Since I started learning about herbs, I knew they were different from our pharmaceutical medicines; they treat the root cause not just the symptom.
But recently I’ve noticed a changing pattern in our approach to healthcare, so many people want to find a quick fix for their symptoms, a one pill solution to what is often years of build up to their current condition. This is where I want to break the cycle.
I want to show you how plants can heal the WHOLE body. They affect entire systems inside of us, not just on isolated symptoms
This is why, in our consultation, I’ll ask you about your bodys movements, pains and strains; all information gives me an insight into which plants will support your unique situation.
We’re lucky to have access to herbal medicine that can support your:
immune system
digestive system
nervous system
+ the list goes on…
If you’ve got questions before booking, call me for free 15min consultation - we can discuss if this is the right path for you!
