Hi, I’m Fern, an Ayurvedic Therapist, Nutritionist & Holistic Health Coach. I'm also mad about herbalism, healthy living & I love to cook!
This is a picture of me in my medicinal plant & herb garden amongst the oregano flowers. Did you know that oregano grows wildy and naturally all around Europe? It has so many wonderful medicinal properties!
I have been on my own healing journey for the past 15 years, after suffering from anxiety, depression and candida for much of my adolescence and adult life. When I discovered Ayurveda I was able to shine light on the root cause of my health issues and dis-ease. Since then it has been a constant journey of healing. To be honest healing never stops! I would now like to share my knowledge and empower others on their own healing journey, by applying and uniting the system of Indian Ayurvedic Medicine with Western herbalism and diet.
Check out the cleanses below, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch!

"I loved the consultation with Fern. She provided me with a wonderfully extensive diagnosis and therapeutic routine to follow. I was fairly new to Ayurveda. I love the holistic nature of it and the use of herbs and spices and my environment, in accordance with the circadian rhythm such as abstaining from food after sunset and fasting for 12 hours, prioritising sleep, eating quietly and slowly, eating fresh prepared food, etc.. I love how Ayurveda connects me to the natural world around me."

Before the consultation with Fern I had a stomach ache almost every day. I noticed a lot of results after the 6 week cleanse. I noticed a lightness in my digestion during the detox but above all a definitive disappearance of my stomach ache still to this day!
What surprised me the most was really the efficiency of small changes in food & diet, and to see that I didn't need to add food to improve my health but on the contrary I had to remove certain foods.

I was suffering from chronic stress at work and in my life, but learning about my dosha and my imbalance helped me bring myself back into balance. Knowing my dosha and what types of food are most suited for me, and learning about simple home remedies that I can use and implement when I feel stressed, has seriously changed my life. I feel now that I can take my healing into my own hands. Doing an Ayurvedic cleanse and detoxing helped me get rid of what I think must have been years of toxins that have been building up in my body.
I felt how simple changes in my diet seriously affected in turn my mental well-being. I felt a lot more positive and felt that this also helped me in my work and in my relationships. I now dedicate more time to myself and my well-being, making sure I cook for myself if I can several times a week. I realise now how important my digestive and gut health is to keeping in check my mental health.
Doing the cleanse with Fern allowed me to learn about my Ayurvedic constitution and what things can bring me out of balance. I would highly recommend to everyone to do a simple detox like this at least once a year, and it's something I will keep on doing now just for a general health reset since you feel so great afterwards and recharged!

I have been interested in living a healthy lifestyle for many years. When I became pregnant, I felt a great need to maintain the balance between mind, body and spirit that I have always wanted for myself, so that I could pass on the benefits of this lifestyle to my baby from her first weeks. Then, at that sensitive and important time, I was lucky enough to be introduced to Ayurveda by Fern, and we were able to make it easy and enjoyable. Fern helped me to appreciate my pregnancy in its full dimension.
The programme Fern proposed went beyond taking care of my diet, eating according to my physical constitution and the season of the year, and reducing the nausea and anxiety of the first weeks...: Fern was also there to advise me with Ayurvedic massage techniques for myself and for my baby, and specific food recommendations during and after the pregnancy, sizing up emotions provoked by the hormones, introducing yoga practices adapted to each trimester, mantras..... Everything that could lead me to a natural balance, self-knowledge and self-care... My daughter is now 2 years old and I still consult Fern regularly. It is much more than a programme, it is having a friend who helps you to find your well-being and mental calm at whatever time of life you find yourself.
