Denise Owens
Herbal Medicine Practitioner in Peebles

I am a fully qualified Medical Herbalist working from Peebles and Galashiels in the Scottish Borders. I am also happy to do home visits if travel is difficult.

My herbal medicine degree is from Napier University in Edinburgh and I set up in practice in 2008 when I graduated.

My approach to patient care and treatment is to work with you, the patient, to move towards the best possible health that you can achieve. We begin with a 45 minute consultation which gives you time and space to tell your story in a safe and confidential environment and to fully explore your medical history. Then with the use of herbs, combined with lifestyle and dietary changes where appropriate, the healing changes can begin.

Background & Herbal Medicine Qualifications

I started off with a Degree in Ecology and Human Biology and from there I went on to do a Masters degree in Environmental Science. I have always bee interested in health and wellness and how people can get to the best health they can have. Herbal Medicine felt to me like a good way to do this and I graduated from Napier University in Edinburgh in 2008 with a Degree in Herbal Medicine.

My Specialisms

I am happy to see people with all types of health conditions and/or concerns. I am particularly interested in the role that stress, anxiety or other emotional states play in the overall health of a person. With this in mind, through the consultation process, together we build up a complete and in depth picture of your health, often over several visits. This ensures that all aspects of your health are covered in any treatment plan.

Approach to Herbal Medicine & How I Work

From listening to patients I have come to realise how important it is for people to be given the time and space to tell their story in a safe and confidential space. This story telling is the beginning of the journey towards better health. The information shared allows me to build a picture of the overall health of the patient and a treatment plan made.
