What I do

I am a leading herbal scientist with many peer-reviewed publications on the health effects of herbs. I am well networked across UK and Global Universities that research herbs, and also work with UK Medical Herbalists and herbal entrepreneurs – so I’m well set up to help you make the right connections. My previous substantive role was Head of Herbal Research at Pukka Herbs Ltd, where I supported herbal tea and supplement product development, marketing and communications strategies, through providing research. I have worked elsewhere in the food industry and petcare industry. I now work with COMPANIES who are striving to bring herbs into products and onto the shelves be they food or skin care. I carry out desk-top research into herbs, create review articles, and can deliver herbal presentations or panel discussions behalf of your work. I also run local herbal workshops and have several short courses on blending herbal teas, starting a business, and research methods.

What you do

You may be a food company creating products such as herbal beverages, snacks or supplements seeking herbal research information. You may be looking for a herbal industry expert to speak at an event, or need someone to write scientific papers or articles that are industry or consumer focussed. If you are starting-up and feel stuck I’d love to work with you.
