Katia Manwaring Naturopath & Medical Herbalist

The time is takes to feel better depends on the root cause of your concern. At our North London naturopathic clonoc, we look beyond symptoms to find what’s driving them. If the cause is a food intolerance or a nutrient deficinecy, it can be identified and corrected in a relatively short time.

For longer-term or chronic health issues, many people begin to notice improvements within about five days of starting herbal medicine and /or making targeted changes to their diet and supplements. Results vary from person to person.

At the end of your first consultation, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan with you, covering the best approach for your needs and the steps towards your health goals. Our systematic, step-by-step approach means you’ll see progress at every stage.

Book a consultation with our Naturopath / medical Herbalist Katia Manwaring in our Kings Cross clinic or Angel clinic to get started.

At our London naturopathic clinic, we specialise in identifying the root causes of your health concerns and supporting you every step of the way towards your health goals.

Your care begins with an in-depth initial consultation. From there, we arrange follow-up appointments to suit your individual needs. Depending on your symptoms and your personalised naturopathic treatment plan, we might meet every 4 to 6 weeks, or complete a detox protocol before moving on to the next phase of treatment.

Between consultations, you’re never on your own. You can email us with any questions, and we’ll be glad to help.

Our aim is to provide personalised, results- focused care, tailored to you, so you feel supported at every stage of your health journey.

Not necessarily. At our London naturopathic clinic, your first consultation is a detailed conversation. We’ll ask about your health history, family history, symptoms and body systems. This gives us a whole-body picture of your health.

We may also use traditional assessment methods, such as tongue reading, iridology or Ayurvedic pulse taking, to learn more about your constitution. If further testing could help guide your personalised treatment plan, we’ll discuss the options with your first, including blood tests, stoll tests, hair analysis, allergy tests and hormonal investigations through our trusted laboratories.

Already had tests in recent months? Bring them along and we’ll review them with you. We’re mindful of costs and never recommend unnecessary testing.

Herbal medicine and a naturopathic approach can be useful in supporting all health conditions, particularly those that are chronic and have developed over time.

Yes, during our initial consultation we will go through all of the medication and supplements that you are currently taking. We are aware of all the possible Herbs/ Supplements/ Drug interactions and we always ensure that the herbs prescribed take your current medication into account.
 

Absolutely and it is a very safe way of looking after your children’s health. The herbs chosen for the prescriptions will be different than for an adult or a young teenager, as well as the amount prescribed and possibly the mode of administration. Your naturopathic herbalist will explain you all this in details and help you every step of the way.

This initial complementary call is an introductory presentation where we discuss briefs details of your health concern and if naturopathic medicine is the right approach for you. It usually lasts for 15 minutes and if we are both happy to go ahead, a full initial consultation will be booked in. 

Please bring with you a list of any medication or supplements you are currently taking and if you had any medical tests done, it would be very useful to see a copy of those as well.

We operate a 24 hour cancellation policy. Unfortunately if the appointment is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, the payment will be charged in full.
