Plant and Herbal Medicine
As a Medical Herbalist and member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists Samantha embraces all aspects of nature drawing upon the healing energies of Mother Earth to bring healing, balance and alignment to both humanity and nature. Samantha was delighted to receive a First Class Honours Degree from The University of Lincoln in Medical Herbalism in 2020 but has studied the energy of plant spirit communication for much longer.
As someone who has a keen interest in researching sacred, ancient and magickal ways of old, of folklore and of being with the Earth, trees and plants it seemed the next logical step to entwine these natural and powerful healing energies of the Earth and Nature with medical uses to help heal those who are also drawn to heal with the gifts from Mother Earth.
Samantha's ability to step into a higher consciousness to commune with the land, plants, trees and flowers enables her to connect with both the physical and spiritual aspects of the the medicine it has to offer and in this way she is able to formulate a bespoke and special prescription for you to enable healing to occur in all ways.
Samantha believes that the experience of pain in the physical body can often be traced back to trauma experienced in this life time, a past life time or within the ancestral lineage, that has not yet been fully healed. By working with the healing qualities that plant medicine has to offer, Samantha aims to get to the root cause of the dis-ease in order to bring as much nourishment, enlightenment and healing direct to the initial cause of the trauma.
The herbs and tinctures used in Samantha's Apothecary are organic and ethically sourced from reliable and high quality suppliers.
Whether you are looking for a custom made prescription for something specific and need an in depth consultation or whether you just need a quick word and an off the shelf tea or tincture, Samantha will bring her love and knowledge of plant medicine to you.
For a bespoke prescription tailored specifically to your needs, Samantha offers appointments for a full in-depth consultation with her. This usually takes approximately 1-2hours. Samantha will talk with you about your main point of concern whilst also looking into your medical history, your lifestyle and any other relevant details required at the time. Samantha uses her medical knowledge and training together with her plant spirit connection and psychic abilities while she spends the next 24-48 hours formulating a special prescription for you. This can then be posted out to you, direct to your door or can be collected.
Monthly appointments are then required for a time to ensure the medicine is supporting you as it should, allowing time for any tweaks or changes which may or may not need to be made and to ensure the medicine is working for you as it should. It also gives you the chance to discuss anything you need to with Samantha and a chance to talk. Follow up consultations usually last approximately 30 minutes.
