I'm Niki, I've lectured in various modalities of natural medicine since 1997. I'm a qualified teacher as well as a further education lecturer. I teach a wide range of holistic therapy courses for both humans and animals, along with sea glass jewellery making workshops. I suffered a stroke aged just 25 whilst undertaking my psychology degree, but herbal medicine aided my complete recovery, so I subsequently trained as a Medical Herbalist. I'm currently writing my second book. My first book, by Llewellyn Worldwide publishers is an international best selling holistic healing book for animals. I've had the pleasure to help heal thousands of people and animals over a period of almost thirty years in professional clinical practice. ​
