There are few health conditions in which herbal medicine cannot offer some help. Many from serious to mild can be treated by the proper use of herbal medicine.
If you are unsure if herbal medicine is for you please email me info@herbalist.ie it’s likely that I will have treated such a condition before.
I have treated many complex and seemingly ‘unsolvable’ cases, the key lies in really digging and finding out what the real issue is to get a diagnosis, this is where a Medical herbalist comes into their own with the knowledge of pathology and the luxury of time in a consultation to complete a thorough medical history.
It can be bugs in the gut, food intolerances, or an imbalance in the immune system sparked by a hormonal or stressful emotional event.
I will always strive to do my very best to get to the bottom of what is causing problems for you and your health.
My areas of expertise and success include but are not limited to : Gut health, Thyroid illness, Anxiety and mood disporders, Cancer support, Nutrigenomics.
Specialist Testing
I offer specialist testing with laboratories in the UK and USA and Ireland.
Most of these tests are not commonly available through the Irish GP or even hospital system. They include stool analysis to test for gut infection by bacteria and parasites, and also probiotic balance. There are also screenings available for full Thyroid/hormonal/adrenal profiles all of which are important in both fertility and generalised hormonal problems.
Testing for problems like SIBO (small intestinal bowel overgrowth) are now also available in Ireland.
Private Phelebotomy services are now also available through an at home kit service or through a phlebotomy clinic in Limerick no Dr referral required-please contact me for details.
Nutrigenomic screening: I offer testing and interpretation of Nutrigenomic panels in the following areas:
- Detoxification
- Methylation
- Thyroid
- Hormones (men and women)
- Nervous System
- Athelete report
Please see the Lifecode Gx website for a full listing of products and possibilities for testing.

Typically I reccommend that the methylation panel be done for most, plus another report that may be relevant to your clinical presentation: Current cost of one/initial report is 206GBP and 112GBP for any subsequent add on reports, reports can be added on for a period of 6 months after the initial testing. Report analysis and interpretation fee is currently 60E.
The benefits include:
- one off testing as your genes will never change
- results are not affected by any medications
- If you are motivated about your health i.e regularly buy supplements, eat well, have an interest in exercise- these results could help your streamline and ultimately personalise and maximise the outcomes of these efforts.
- If you have concerns about generational illnesses in your family, this could be psychiatric illness, behavioural problems, anxiety, cholesterol issues, thyroid illness, Allergies, Migraines, Cardiovascular disease (note this is not a prognostic service in any way it will highlight your ‘potential’ for or risk of issues around certain behaviours and ways of interacting with your environment, because we always have the potential to moderate the expression of our genes)
