Do you wish you could see someone highly qualified who you could trust to give you a wide range of options and advice and not just medications?

Dr Jess is a doctor who left the NHS in order to practice safe and natural systems of medicine that harness the body’s own ability to heal, rather than just symptom management with medications. She is the most qualified natural health doctor in the UK.

She qualified as a homeopath at the same time as completing her medical training and has used this popular form of alternative medicine since she was a child.

She uses food, nutrition, herbs, traditional medicines, comprehensive testing and the latest evidence to support longevity, energy, mental clarity and happiness alongside good health. Her busy natural health practice has been running for over 15 years and she has seen thousands of patients. She has guest lectured regularly at University, college and practitioner group level on a range of topics from the gut-brain axis, herbal medicine, chinese medicine, labour support and many more.

“Dr Jess…You are a one in a million doctor. You have had the experience of being a standard hospital doctor, have seen a need and undertaken the courageous and correct stand to be a doctor in its true meaning. You care for a person’s health in every possible way. You are approachable and professional. Since coming under your care…I have made huge steps in my emotional and physical state. I had given up on ever finding a life where I could do more than just exist. You are there every step of the way with a successful solution to everything. I have hope for the future – something no doctor has instilled. I will always recommend you to all my friends….THANK YOU.”

My Philosophy

I love my job. It is an immense privilege to have worked with thousands of patients, able to listen to their life stories and support them on their health journeys for over 15 years. I have been fascinated by the natural world since I was small with a passion to learn about and protect the world around me. I believe that nature has provided everything we need to heal and have seen (more times than I can count) that our own body has the wisdom and mechanisms we need to heal from nearly anything – we just need to harness it. I am lucky enough to have been able to study and practice medicine in its truest sense and my life training as a mother, wife, sister, Labrador owner, chicken keeper and novice vegetable gardener makes sure I am always learning more about how to live a natural, healthy and sustainable lifestyle!

Against all odds she helped me get pregnant…supported me through a difficult pregnancy and the birth of my beautiful baby boy. He wouldn’t be her without her. She is our entire family’s first call for any problems.”
