About Me

Lesley Dawson, Prof D., DipHM, MNIMH, MCSP

I work with people wishing to improve their health using natural solutions. As a Medical Herbalist I look at the whole person, focussing on how they are feeling and exploring the possible root causes of their symptoms. Each person is unique; taking time to listen and understand the impact of health concerns on a person’s wellbeing helps me select the right herbs to address their particular situation.

Background

I completed a Professional Qualification in Herbal Medicine through Heartwood Education, graduating with distinction. Prior to this I worked as a Chartered Physiotherapist for 30 years, mainly in the NHS as a senior clinician in musculoskeletal health. I had the privilege of working in a variety of sports settings including local sports injury clinics, Scottish Athletics, GB Shooting and Commonwealth Games Scotland, and hold a Professional Doctorate in Health and Social Care. Working as a Medical Herbalist allows me to treat the whole person and help them back to better health.
