Looking for an experienced medical herbalist in Enfield or an online herbal medicine consultation? My student training clinic offers professional consultations at reduced rates, whether you choose to attend in person or online.

Ellie Holly, medical herbalist, preparing bespoke herbal prescriptions for her patients
Your initial consultation lasts an hour, giving us time to explore your health in depth. I’ll take a detailed medical and dietary history to build a comprehensive picture of your health, before discussing relevant dietary and lifestyle recommendations and any supplements that may be appropriate.
Where suitable, I’ll then prepare a bespoke herbal prescription, carefully selecting and combining medicinal herbs to complement one another and address your individual needs. My aim is to work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that brings together herbal medicine, nutrition and lifestyle changes to support your health and wellbeing.
You receive professional care and individually formulated herbal medicines at a reduced cost, with every consultation conducted personally by me.
Appointments are available in person at the Enfield Chase Clinic in North London or online from the comfort of your own home.
CHECK AVAILABILITY AND BOOK YOUR APPOINTMENT
What is the student herbal medicine clinic?
Alongside my private practice, I run a student training clinic to help train the next generation of professional herbalists. Qualifying as a herbalist involves four to six years of degree-level study and extensive supervised clinical training. My clinic gives students the opportunity to observe professional practice and discuss clinical cases with me, helping them develop their clinical knowledge, reasoning, and prescription writing skills.
For patients, the clinic offers an opportunity to access my experienced, personalised care and bespoke herbal medicines at a reduced cost, while contributing to the training of the next generation of medical herbalists.
I believe that access to professional herbal medicine care should not be limited to those who can afford standard private consultation fees.
What happens during a consultation?
Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss your health concerns in detail and explore an individualised approach to your wellbeing. During your appointment, I will take a comprehensive medical and dietary history, discussing your current symptoms, past medical history, diet, lifestyle, and any medication or supplements.
This helps me build a detailed picture of your health so I can consider how bespoke herbal medicines, dietary recommendations and lifestyle changes may best support your health and wellbeing.
At the end of your consultation, I will prepare a bespoke herbal prescription tailored to your individual needs. If you attend in person, you can take your herbal medicine home with you. For online consultations, I can post your prescription to you.
I take a whole-person, functional medicine approach to health, looking beyond individual symptoms to explore underlying factors that may be contributing to your health concerns. My aim is to develop a treatment plan that addresses the root causes of ill health as well as the symptoms.
Will I be seen by a student?
No. I personally conduct every consultation at the student clinic. Students attend to learn from my clinical practice, but they do not conduct your appointment or make your treatment decisions.
Students usually attend online, with their cameras and microphones switched off. They are therefore not visible on screen and do not interrupt your consultation. Occasionally, one to three students attend in person and quietly observe consultations. Between appointments, I discuss clinical cases with students as part of their professional training.
Students follow professional standards of confidentiality. If you have questions or concerns about student observation, please contact me before booking so that we can discuss your preferences and the arrangements available.
Bespoke herbal medicines, tailored to you
Every herbal prescription I prepare is individually formulated for the person receiving it. Rather than using a standard, off-the-shelf formula, I carefully select a combination of medicinal herbs to suit your health concerns and individual circumstances.
I typically combine four to six different herbal tinctures into a single bottle, choosing herbs that complement one another and are appropriate for your needs. Depending on what is suitable, I may also prepare bespoke organic loose-leaf herbal teas or specialised herbal blends, including sleep or pain blends.
As a qualified medical herbalist, I am trained in drug–herb interactions, contraindications, and the safe use of medicinal plants. I carefully consider your medical history and any medications or supplements you are taking when selecting your herbal prescription, to ensure your treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

How much do herbal medicines cost?
