Herbal medicine
Have you been dealing with a health condition and are now looking for a more holistic approach? As a registered medical herbalist I offer private online health consultations on Zoom. I have a special interest in emotional wellbeing, digestive health and burnout having previously struggled a suspected gallstone and stress before being introduced to herbal medicine. I’m passionate about medicinal herbs and how nature they can support our wellbeing.
Why see a medical herbalist?
Herbalists treat the root cause of the problem and the ‘whole’ person

Services
01.
Herbal Medicine Consultations
Your first consultation is a relaxed but in depth 90 minutes and will include your past medical history and current symptoms, the timeline of what you’re experiencing as well as lifestyle, diet and stress. Herbalists treat the person not the symptoms and every prescription is bespoke to the individual. Treatment may start with diet and lifestyle alongside a herbal tincture, tea, powder, topical cream or capsules.

Herbal
Workshops
I love to share my knowledge of herbal medicine and regularly host seasonal herbal workshops in Cheshire. These may be a half day, full day or evening event where you can learn about different herbs and their medicinal values. The herb events often include a herb walk for you to ID medicinal herbs and get to know plants in their natural environment.

Hi, I’m Cath
Hello, my name is Cath Couzens and I’m a medical herbalist based in Cheshire.
I was inspired to take this path after a prolonged period of illness, when a herbalist supported me to regain my health. This opened up a whole new world of medicinal herbs to me and I was so inspired that I decided to have a total career change and started my four year training in herbal medicine.
I’m registered with the National Institute of Medical Herbalists and practise Western Herbal Medicine, taking inspiration from TCM and Tibetan Herbal Medicine. When I’m not seeing patients I enjoy growing my own herbs and sharing my knowledge.
Get in touch to arrange a complimentary 15 minute discovery call on how I can support you or for details of my talks, herb walks, consultancy and workshops.
“I began my herbal journey with Cath in June 2021, firstly as one of her case studies, and now as one of her ongoing patients. Cath has a calm, friendly, understanding manner, which puts you instantly at ease.
She has helped me so much with my peri-menopausal symptoms, a journey I have been navigating for about 5 years. Cath’s advice has helped me to balance out the peaks and troughs of this stage in my life, and I am grateful for her wonderful herbal tinctures and teas I love the fact that working 1-2-1 with Cath allows her to amend my tincture according to my personal needs. It is completely bespoke and I really feel the benefit.
I highly recommend Cath, whether it be for peri-menopause or any other health issue you may have.”
