Helping You Take Control of Your Health, Hormones & Fertility
Hello I’m Karen, I’m here to help you finally feel understood, supported and empowered on your journey to optimal health, fertility and pregnancy.
With over 35 years of experience as a registered nurse, integrative medicine practitioner and health coach, I combine scientific expertise with holistic wisdom to create truly personalised protocols. My approach doesn’t just mask symptoms – we get to the root causes to deliver lasting solutions that respect your individuality.
For over more than a decade, I have been blending my therapies including Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Nutritional Therapy, Homeopathy and Health Coaching into comprehensive, integrative care plans – all tailored to your unique needs.
Why Clients Work With Me
- Unique qualifications: With my wide-ranging training and certifications, you only need to share your story once. No repeating yourself, no fragmented care – just a clear, tailored plan.
- Holistic & Evidence-Based: I use proven therapies alongside advanced testing and coaching to ensure every recommendation is both safe and effective.
- Compassionate & Empowering: I listen first, guide gently and help you feel confident in your choices.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed, unheard, or overwhelmed by conflicting advice, I’m here to change that. Together, we’ll create a plan that’s practical, personalised, and results-driven.
Holistic Fertility & Pregnancy Support
I specialise in supporting individuals and couples on their conception journey through the Moonbeam® Holistic Fertility Method – a unique approach that blends:
-
Evidence-based therapies
-
Hormone and fertility reflexology
-
Fertility nutrition coaching
The goal? To give you a bespoke, compassionate path to conception and pregnancy, designed around your body, your lifestyle and your goals.
“I would love to support you — let’s work together to create the healthiest, happiest version of you.”
Hormonal Imbalance & Root-Cause
Hormonal imbalances don’t happen by accident. Together, we’ll uncover the underlying causes through in-depth consultations, advanced functional testing and personalised plans. Think of it as detective work.
You don’t have to live with:
-
PMS or painful periods
-
Irregular cycles
-
Fatigue, mood swings, or other hormone-related symptoms
Women’s health concerns are too often dismissed – but you deserve answers and solutions. We’ll create a tailored plan combining nutrition, lifestyle and targeted therapies to restore balance and reclaim your health Because getting the answers you need shouldn’t take years.
Test, Don’t Guess
Understanding your body starts with the right insights. I offer advanced testing far beyond standard NHS screenings:
-
Hormone blood & urine panels
-
Microbiome analysis (oral, gut, vaginal, urinary)
-
Lifecode Gx® Nutrigenomics testing for personalised nutrition insights
These tests allow us to identify root causes and design precise, effective protocols — so you get results faster, with less guesswork, and more confidence.

Let’s Create Your Plan
My complementary therapy journey
My 30 plus years journey started with an aromatherapy night class in Edinburgh in the early 90’s and progressed over the years to where I am now.
For 13 years my journey included working for Midlothian Sure Start as their complementary therapist and healthy living co-ordinator. My biggest achievement was leading, developing and delivering the award winning project ‘A Good Start’. An early intervention programme that combined baby massage, weaning, play, baby brain development and baby first aid.
In 2008 Midlothian Sure Start won the Prince of Wales Integrated Health Care Award, which I was part of the leading team.
I have also been featured in my professional journals and in mainstream media.
Continued Professional Development
Professional Development (CPD) has always played an important part in my learning journey. I carry out over 100 hours of extra learning per year across all subjects to ensure I can provide the best care possible for my clients. It’s a never-ending journey…
