Welcome to Vine Healing

Hi,

My name is Lauren, and I am a certified Naturopath, Herbalist, and Iridologist.

Like many healers, my journey into alternative medicine began during a time of significant ill health. At 21, I was diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. These conditions forced me to leave the Police Force. Chronic health issues often feel like a relentless series of complaints, and my symptoms were both frightening and debilitating, ultimately confining me to bed for a period.

Despite receiving extensive support through the NHS, including weekly appointments at King's College Hospital, I found myself needing to explore different avenues to improve my health. Determined to find a solution, I immersed myself in learning about my conditions and discovering natural health modalities. My dedication to returning to health grew out of a realization that conventional treatments had not provided the relief I needed. Preparing whole foods and plant medicine felt natural to me and aligned more closely with my vision of health.

I am grateful to have returned to full health and am now committed to supporting others on their journeys through chronic health challenges. My mission is to empower those seeking to regain control over their health and explore the benefits of natural healing.

Accreditation & Association

When seeking an alternative medicine practitioner, it's essential to conduct thorough research, as this field of medicine is largely unregulated. Look for practitioners who hold accredited qualifications or have substantial relevant experience. Typically, credible practitioners are affiliated with a professional association.

These associations enforce a strict code of ethics, ensuring that their members meet rigorous standards. This includes verified qualifications, relevant experience, appropriate insurance coverage, and ongoing professional development. By choosing a practitioner affiliated with such an association, you can be assured of a high standard of care.
