Edwina Hodkinson; Consulting Medical Herbalist and GAPS Practitioner

I am a practising NIMH registered Medical Herbalist and registered GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) practitioner. I have a 30 year background in health care with experience as a ward sister in general medicine and endocrinology. I have worked in natural healthcare for the last 20 years as a clinical reflexologist, aromatherapist, and Reiki healer, working as part of the complementary therapy teams at the Christie Hospital and Bury Cancer support centre as well as in private practice. I gained a first class honors degree at Central Lancashire University in Herbal Medicine over 6 years ago and have also trained with Dr Natasha Campbell McBride as a GAPS practitioner. I co-teach on a Weeds and Wild Medicine course at Offshoots Permaculture, Townely park, Burnley and lead Wild Medicine walks and medicine making workshops in the northwest. I have a keen interest in nutrition and Gut health, believing it to be the root of many of our modern illnesses. I'm passionate about connecting people to our wild native medicines and landscapes.
