About Anna
I am a Master Herbalist, Nutritionist, and Iridologist with a deep-rooted passion for holistic healing.
I trained with Master Medical Herbalist Helen Begadon at The Irish School of Herbal Medicine – which is associated with the European Herbal and Traditional Medicine Practitioners Association. I am a member of the Irish Association of Master Medical Herbalists (IAMMH) and hold a Licentiate Degree in Master Herbalism.
My own personal healing journey began when I was fifteen, when my appendix ruptured. This traumatic hospital experience was followed by years of anxiety and panic attacks. I had always disliked taking conventional medicine and wouldn’t even take a Paracetamol if I could get away with it. So, refusing to rely on conventional medications, I explored natural and holistic therapies to help cure my chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Over time – and through meditation, nutrition, and herbal medicine – I was able to transform my own mental and physical health. Today, I support others through similar journeys, especially those suffering from anxiety, panic, overwhelm, or emotional imbalance. I truly believe that real wellness comes from a deep connection between body, mind, and spirit – an approach that underpins my practice in medical herbalism.
My interest in meditation also goes back to my teenage years and I always had my head stuck in a self-help book of one sort or another! In my twenties, I spent a number of years living in London and spent a year in Australia. During a two month backpacking trip through Malaysia and Thailand in the late 1990s, I completed my first 10-day silent meditation retreat in Thailand which, although challenging, was amazing. Since then, I have completed a number of retreats around Ireland, including a couple of 10-day silent retreats practising Vipassana Meditation. I continue to practice meditation at home daily. I grew up on a farm and found myself returning to farm life as I got older. I have always loved nature, animals and the freedom that comes with life in the countryside. I am guided by my love of nature, sustainability, and biodiversity and try to rewild where I can; planting native trees, hedging and flowers on the family farm. I grow my own vegetables, herbs, and salads, and share my space with my three dogs, a mischievous cat, and my beloved pet cow!
