I’ve been a practicing medical herbalist for over thirty years. The idea for the Medicine Garden has gradually germinated over this time.
During the process I’ve found that the emphasis of my consultation has changed, from focusing totally on the herbs to looking very much at what people eat and drink. This, combined with listening to peoples life stories has made my approach to dis-ease much more holistic, which benefits my patients by giving them more control over their health.
I qualified as a medical herbalist 30 years ago after completing a 4 year full time herbal course at the School of Phytotherapy. My training explored the mind /body connection – how we feel emotionally is often reflected in our health. The herbs I use are whole plant extracts usually in alcohol but if this isn’t appropriate I use teas or creams as well.
The Herbalist’s Approach
Medical Herbalists are trained in the same diagnostic skills as orthodox doctors but take a more holistic approach to illness. The underlying cause of the problem is sought and, once identified; it is this which is treated, rather than the symptoms alone. Herbalists use their remedies to restore the balance of the body thus enabling it to mobilise its own healing powers.

A little about me & what I offer
I am passionate about creating special spaces where you can explore your natural relationship
with Spirit. I draw on wisdom from many spiritual traditions to support your journey. Whether
we meet in person or online; for a ceremony to mark a major life event; for a retreat or one-to-
one session: its my intention to empower you to be present with all that you are.
At the Medicine Garden, I offer three different types of One-to-One Sessions: Spiritual
Accompaniment/Mentoring; Transpersonal Healing and Massage. Standard Sessions cost £45
and last an hour. Massage Sessions are longer – see below for prices.
Spiritual accompaniment/mentoring is a spiritual discipline common to many different faith
paths. In many wisdom traditions, the practice of a ‘chat’ with a spiritual mentor is a powerful
container where Spirit can be invited into the issues and sharing to transform states of heart and mind.
Often people say to me that they don’t have anyone they can really talk to about ‘this stuff.’
This is where spiritual accompaniment can really help you to gain perspective and connect you
in with the vast ocean of spiritual experience left to us by our ancestors and shared by living
teachers and writers.
The focus of a session like this is to explore whatever is arising within your life and practice that
could be making your life with Spirit challenging. Sessions like this are good spiritual
maintenance, they can help you find perspective and help you unstick yourself if things are
getting tricky. They can be a useful support during difficult times or times of change. They are
not counselling sessions in a therapeutic sense. If I think that you would benefit from
counselling or therapy, I will recommend you seek that in addition or instead of working with
me in this way.
A typical session might include sharing, listening & talking, meditation, prayer, suggestions
around practices, the passing on of ideas or teachings from many traditions or something
offered from my deeper guidance as food for thought.
Transpersonal Healing
The transpersonal space is the space within and between us all. It is the space of dreams, of
dreaming. Its where our personal inner worlds meet and interact with the intentions, energy
fields and realities of everyone and everything else. Its a space outside of time and stretches
beyond your personal experience. In these sessions, I draw on my own Earth-Rooted spiritual
tradition and healing skill set to create a space for working more dynamically with what is arising for you. These sessions are likely for you if you resonate with more Shamanic or
energetic practices. These sessions are always co-created with you and I can offer different
methods to approach an issue or situation within a session. The healing work can take place seated or on a massage couch
A typical session might include guided meditation or journey, journeying on your behalf, soul
reading, other life or ancestral work, emotional processing (transformational healing), sharing,
Reiki healing, crystal healing or the use of Meldings.

Nature and Nurture has come from my belief that we can learn so much from being still in nature and observing…and also that we need to nurture our own mind body and spirit, allowing us to nurture other people and animals in our work and private lives.
My therapies endeavour to reflect this deep belief, and using healing and relaxation techniques within aromatherapy/reflexology/help my clients to find some peace in an otherwise busy and sometimes stressful life.

When I turned to Jules for Reiki, I had no expectations at all, I was perhaps even a little cynical. This magical lady has had a transformational effect on my life and my relationship with the beautiful, magical Earth that we are all a part of. Jules has an inner light revealed by her warmth and compassion for others.
Alex, Broughton-in-Furness
After several Reiki sessions with Jules I felt an overwhelming sense of calm begin to settle within myself which enabled me to cope with the stresses of everyday life, something I had struggled to do. Jules has continued to help me on my journey of self love and belief in the again.

As a child I was in constant pain in my body until the age of ten when my right tendon was lengthened in my lower leg to allow my right heel to stretch. This corrective surgery was life changing but unfortunately some of my muscles had already adapted to support my body in the way it was prior to surgery. By the age of twenty two I began to use massage to keep myself mobile. It is one of the best decisions I have made and it allowed me to have first hand experience of how massage can relax and ease aches and pains within the body.
In 1991, I started to practice meditation in London and then later in South East Asia. Through my own meditation practice, I began to observe how my thoughts and feelings impacted my physical body and realised both meditation and massage could be beneficial for my physical and mental health.
in 1997, I relocated to Lancaster and qualified as a massage therapist, In 2002, I qualified as a Tai Chi and Chi Chun teacher which I feel also enhances my massage practice. At the same time, I started using my Intuitive abilities alongside traditional massage. Intuitive massage is a powerful process that encourages self-discovery and wellness. This type of therapy utilizes hands on therapeutic massage techniques to restore or balance the flow of energy within the body. As an intuitive therapist, I allow my intuition to guide me to where your body requires healing.
