Christine Herbert qualified as an herbalist in 1997 and has been practicing and learning herbal medicine ever since. During the years of her practice she added many skills including nutrition, aromatic medicine and flower essence therapy in order to be able to best help the many people who came to see her. She retired from practice in 2019 so she could teach and write using all the knowledge she had acquired. She served on the council of the Association of Master Herbalists for several years and was awarded an Honorary Fellowship. Previous to this she worked as a senior biomedical scientist for the NHS.
