Are you trying to improve your health?

It can be so difficult.

With so many options and opinions out there, it can feel impossible to know which direction to take or who to trust.

You can end up feeling stuck, and that’s a lonely place to be.

Wouldn’t it be great to work with someone who can filter out the noise, and help you focus on what will actually get you feeling well again?

And to have them accompany you all the way there?

You don’t have to do this alone . . . .

Let’s face it – trying to figure out our health issues without the right kind of professional support is really tough.

Often we start by looking online, speaking to a friend, trying some supplements, or even reading a book or two. But for the most part we’ll still be guessing about what we actually need to feel better.

It’s so easy to get to a place of feeling confused by the choice of what to do, and the cacophony of voices telling us that we should be doing diet x, supplement y, or treatment z.

Next stop, overwhelm.

And that’s where I come in!

In my herbalist practice in Edinburgh and Glasgow, I can help you come to a deep understanding of your symptoms, and then get clarity on the best ways to resolve them.

Clearly, comprehensively, and compassionately.

We’ll focus on the things you really need to feel better, while helping you identify and avoid the things you don’t. I’ll share my expertise from years of helping many people with the same symptoms as you, and I’ll stick by you – all the way – through the joys and challenges of the journey back to health.

No more overwhelm. No more confusion and trying to figure things out by yourself. No more micro-improvements that don’t last.

Just a clear plan and the ease and confidence that comes from knowing that you’re finally getting the help you’ve been searching for.

expert support.

Often when we see a medical practitioner or therapist, there’s a sense they don’t quite know enough about what we’re experiencing or how to help us. Sometimes we may see some improvements, and we may feel a little better for a while.

But important areas of our circumstances are often left unexamined, and we may not see the sustained improvements in our health that we need.

Working with me is very different.

Unlike most practitioners, I specialise in helping people with specific health problems. Rather than trying to help everyone who comes my way, I offer expert support and guidance for a small group of conditions.

Consequently, if your symptoms are in my areas of specialism then it’s highly likely I’ll be able to help you resolve them.

And perhaps go beyond what you ever imagined was possible.

To begin with I was pretty skeptical, having tried so many things before and got nowhere. I hoped it wouldn’t be more money wasted.

But it quickly became clear that Tim’s approach was genuinely different. For one thing, it was crazily comprehensive, covering every aspect of my health that might be relevant, but in a way that felt gentle and measured and at a pace that was just right for me. I felt so well supported.

I’d struggled for years with chronic fatigue and had gone through every conceivable NHS test, as well as lots of alternative therapies, but nothing really helped until I started working with Tim.

The conditions I specialise in resolving are:

Psychoemotional Challenges

such as stress, depression, and anxiety

Digestive Problems

such as IBS, gut dysbiosis, and food intolerances

Chronic Fatigue

such as CFS/ME, burnout, and fibromyalgia

Herbal medicines, but so much more too . . . .

Herbs are incredible. They help us improve and maintain our health in the most wonderful ways, while also being safe to use and generally free of side-effects. They are the foundation of my practice.

But amazing as herbs are, the most profound transformations occur when we combine herbal medicines with a toolbox of other healing strategies.

By giving attention to all of the relevant areas of your life and health, while creating a deeply compassionate and supportive healing partnership, you’ll achieve foundational healing and growth that would be impossible from just taking herbs.

My two

'practitioner integrity'

pledges

I know that trying a new treatment can feel incredibly risky, like throwing money at a problem and hoping some of it sticks. (You’ve probably done that a few times already.)

As someone who was once in that position, I don’t think it’s ethical or fair that you, the person looking for help, should take on all of this financial risk and responsibility.

You have a significant role to play in your own recovery and need to be an active participant if you’re going to see results. But as a highly experienced and ethical health practitioner I also need to take responsibility for my part of the process, and stand by the claims I’m making about my expertise and ability to help you.

I don’t expect you to keep doggedly paying for a programme that’s not working for you.

Therefore, if your symptoms or diagnosis fall under my areas of specialism, I offer you my two 'practitioner integrity' pledges:

Pledge #1

If after the initial consultation process you decide you don't want to continue working with me, just let me know why you’ve changed your mind and I’ll happily waive 50% of my fee. I’ll even recommend some other practitioners that may be better placed to help you.

Pledge #2

If after 3 months of treatment you’re not experiencing any benefits at all from working with me, I’ll happily refund 50% of the money you’ve paid me up to that point. And again, I’ll recommend some other practitioners that may be more suitable for you.

What’s the catch?

There isn’t one.

Just a small gesture to you that hopefully makes deciding to work with me a little easier.

Ruth

I was entirely new to holistic Medicine before working with Tim, and he made it so beautifully accessible.

Tim has genuinely helped me slow down in the way that my body had been telling me I needed to for too long. He gave me the permission I needed to step away from my professional persona and recognise myself as a whole person once again—now attuned to my body’s needs.

It felt like a long time since I had been ‘heard’ from a medical perspective, and Tim allowed me the voice I had been searching for.

I now recommend Tim to my clients and friends! Sometimes we need to step back from a ‘medical’ perspective and back into a ‘health’ perspective, and Tim does this seamlessly.
