I have experience in product development, research, the health claim and regulatory environment around herbal supplements, and in translating herbal knowledge into commercially relevant communications. I worked for 7 years at Pukka Herbs; project managing research into the health benefits of herbs, supporting sales and marketing teams on product launches, and developing training materials for internal and external use. We launched a white paper in parliament calling for increased awareness of the health benefits of herbs and spices in the diet. I have advised cosmetic and herbal supplement companies on developing effective herbal products, regulatory requirements and accessing product health claims. Please contact me if you are interested in working with me or would like any further information.
I enjoy public speaking and have given lectures on herbal medicine at UCL School of Pharmacy, Bath Spa University and the Integrative and Personalised Medicine Conference. Please feel free to contact me about any podcast or speaking opportunities.
My passion is using research to improve our understanding of herbal medicine, and I have written articles on herbal medicine and research for the website Herbal Reality. I would be happy to contribute articles or commentary for other websites and publications.
