Compassionate. Approachable. Dedicated. Experienced.

Hello. I’m Hannah Sylvester, a highly experienced Medical Herbalist and wild nature guide from Lincolnshire. I help people to restore their physical and emotional health through non-rushed, one to one, confidential health consultations and organic hand-blended herbal medicines, as well as helping people nurture and grow deeper connection and more confident interaction with the wild plants and trees on their doorstep. Sometimes, I find these two aspects go hand in hand, with one aspect leading to the other. But at core, I help to connect you, or reconnect you with nature.

About Hannah. Your Herbalist.

Herbal medicine and spending time in nature, helped me physically and emotionally, through one of the toughest and challenging times of my life, and I’ve since dedicated my life to sharing my professional clinical experise and deep knowledge of the plant world with others, for almost 14 years.

I’m fully qualified with a first class BSc (Hons) Herbal Medicine degree from the University of Lincoln, and a registered Member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists and have also been a part-time lecturer, educating the next generation of Medical Herbalists at degree level. As a consulting medical herbalist, I work as a general herbal practitioner, but have areas of special interest as you’ll read below.

I also really love sharing my knowledge and passion for wild nature with others, and have taken hundreds of people, from all walks of life, out on interactive, guided plant medicine walks with me, to reconnect people with the wonders of the wild flowers at our feet and trees that we pass by every day, as well as helping people to learn from plants using sensory and embodied methods.

About You

You might be looking to resolve that really niggly skin condition that’s you’ve been trying to sort out for years.

You could be seeking to help your periods be more regular, less heavy or less painful; or perhaps you’re trying to improve your fertility and chances of conceiving. Or you could be navigating your way through the many and varied changes that come with peri-menopause and menopause, and seeking to reduce your hot flashes, shift the brain fog, manage your changing periods and improve how you feel emotionally through this life-shift.

Perhaps you may be trying to find a solution for psoriatic arthritis, reduce the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthitis or osteoarthritis and keeping you moving and as mobile as possible.

You may be working your way through hopital treatment for a breast cancer diagnosis, just as I was, when I started training as herbalist.

You might well have a formal medical diagnosis, but your story will be different from the next person with that diagnosis. I listen deeply to your health story and link in my understanding of medicinal plants and the human body, to create bespoke herbal prescriptions to support you in moving forward and a platform for being truly heard. Whether we work together by online appointments, me visiting you in your home if you’re local, or us eventually walking outdoors in nature, I provide compassionate and tailored herbal support.

Maybe you’re seeking to develop a deeper understanding of medicinal plants, and feel more connected with the wild flowers, plants and trees you walk by in your local area. I can help you appreciate these with new eyes, feel more confident in identifying them and cultivate a passion for conserving your wild local plant life.
