Jo Farren Periods • Pregnancy • Parenting
Bespoke, holistic support wherever you are in your journey. Hello and welcome to my page!

I'm committed to supporting people throughout their menstrual journey - whether it's period problems, fertility, anxiety, menopause - I'm here for you. Using a bespoke approach to tailor my treatment for YOU, I use a combination of herbal and lifestyle medicine to work on the whole person and address underlying issues to enable long-term improvements to your wellbeing. I'm also keen to support during pregnancy: with herbs or a full antenatal education (or both!) and ongoing support available from yours truly. I'm a qualified Natal Hypnotherapy practitioner so can help you achieve a sense of deep relaxation and work on releasing fears and any former trauma. If you're looking for postnatal and parenting support too, then my experience as a postnatal doula and Calm Family consultant to help you navigate your way with parenting. Feel free to get in touch to discuss any queries you may have

Hi everyone I thought it was time to drop you an email and let you know my plans for the coming few weeks. I can't quite believe I'm thinking about Christmas already!

Hi all! So the assessment deadline has been and gone (phew) and thanks for bearing with me during that time. We are just about to start our school summer holidays, but as my working hours have been largely outside of school times for the last few months - not much is changing! I'm still available on...

Hi everyone Thanks so much for your patience over the past few weeks, it has been a busy time.

I’m such an enormous fan of Stellaria cream and I was gutted when I stopped being able to buy the Neal’s Yard one in a tube. But it’s BACK! well kind of. It’s in a jar but looks like a cream not an ointment and I’m keen to give it a whirl.

This is a great offer on all three new creams so I’m going to try them all and feed back!

If you’ve been waiting for this like me (probably not!) then have a look here :)
This is the link for all three creams, but you can navigate to each individually from here too

Hi Everyone If only my current vista was this serene! But I am enjoying some sunshine today, which I am very grateful for. January seems to have been a long month, and yet I don't feel like I've got back into my rhythm yet! I wonder whether I need to do a bit more 'Wintering' next year, I hope you'v...

As you may have seen, Zuck has rolled over for Trump and removed fact checking.

This makes it so much more important to check information before we pass it on.

I will do my bit by only sharing information with evidence or that is verifiable.

If you are looking for a herbalist, check how they were trained. Do they have a minimum of a 3 year professional training or apprenticeship? Are they a member of one of the professional associations? The NIMH, (my own professional association) The CPP, The AMH or the IRCH? Are they insured and who with? You want to know that they have professional indemnity.

The attractiveness or address of their clinic means nothing. A Harley Street address simply means they can afford the rent.

Talk to them. Do they sound like they understand your problem? Do they sound credible? Are they taking a proper medical history before they make medicine for you?

There are a lot of short courses making long promises. Some of the people will be ok. Many will not. These courses are best as a taster to see if you want a professional training rather than a training in themselves.

Not least, trust your instincts. If you don't feel comfortable, don't make an appointment. Though do give at least 24 hours if cancelling an appointment. Otherwise you might be charged.

A bona fide practitioner will be willing to have a short conversation with you about your condition and how they work. This is the opportunity to ask questions. A good herbalist will have no trouble answering those, and will be able to find a former or current patient who will talk to you if you wish.

And best of all, ask around. A good, local practitioner will have a good local reputation.

Our Story

Hello and welcome to my page! My name is Jo, nice to meet you. I’m passionate about herbs and health and I am here to support you when you are feeling your most vulnerable. I help to show you the options available to you - ALL of the options, and support you on your individual journey. Many of the patients I work with find their own power in our work together, and we learn tools together which you can then go on to use to make informed decisions for your health and wellness. I do this in my Women’s Health Matters Project programmes, giving you 14 weeks of dedicated 1:1 care, bespoke to you and your needs.

I am a fully qualified and insured medical herbalist, I have obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Herbal Medicine and am a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, the oldest professional regulating body for herbalists in the UK.

Herbal medicine is a holistic therapy, so I work on the whole person and treat the individual and not just the symptoms. My diagnostic techniques would be similar to your GP, so I take blood pressure, check your pulse and refer for further medical tests where required. The prescription is very different however as I use herbal extracts in liquid tincture form and the prescription is tailor made specifically for you: no two patients have ever had the same mix from me, even if their presenting problem may at first appear the same. We are all so unique and so is the way in which I treat my patients, this bespoke treatment plan means that we work on the underlying causes and aim to put right your health and restore wellbeing.

Feel free to get in touch to discuss any health queries you may have.
