Clinical Herbalist

About

Maria is a Bachelor-qualified Clinical Herbalist holding a Bachelor of Complementary Medicine and is currently completing her Advanced Practitioner of Clinical Nutrition. Her clinical approach is grounded in both traditional wisdom and contemporary, evidence-informed practice. Growing up within a Slavic household, Maria was introduced to herbal medicine from a young age, where remedies, teas, and food as medicine were part of everyday life rather than something reserved for illness. This early exposure shaped her respect for the body’s innate ability to heal when given the right support.

Maria brings a calm, empathetic, and nurturing presence to her consultations, creating a space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. She places strong emphasis on education and empowerment, believing that lasting health comes from understanding one’s own body rather than relying solely on quick fixes. Her treatment approach is holistic and individualised, taking into account the interconnected nature of the digestive system, skin, nervous system, hormones, and overall well being.

From a young age, Maria experienced anxiety and digestive disturbances, followed by ongoing skin concerns including dermatitis and acne throughout her teenage years. These experiences fostered a lived understanding of how chronic symptoms can impact confidence, energy, and quality of life. They also reinforced her belief in addressing the root cause rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

Clinically, Maria has a strong interest in supporting skin conditions such as acne, eczema, dermatitis, rosacea, and hives, alongside digestive concerns including IBS, IBD, bloating, reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. She also works closely with clients experiencing nervous system imbalances such as anxiety, stress, low mood, and fatigue. Through personalised herbal medicine, nutritional therapy, and lifestyle support, Maria aims to guide clients toward sustainable, long-term health with clarity, compassion, and care.
