About Helenium Clinic

Childhood respiratory illness left me largely bedbound until a physician identified the root cause of my condition, and introduced natural protocols alongside conventional care. That integrative approach restored my health and led me to medical herbalism.

I work with people dealing with stubborn health issues that haven’t fully improved, and those who simply prefer natural alternatives to prescription medications. Whatever brings you here, we take time to understand the story behind your symptoms - the patterns and root causes that others might miss.
Through evidence-based herbal medicine and nutrition, we address what’s driving your health concerns, not just what appears on the surface.

Every symptom tells a story. We take time to understand what's driving your health concerns - the patterns, triggers, and root causes that connect everything together.

At Helenium Clinic, that means:

  • Understanding your full health picture and health timeline

  • Evidence-based herbal prescriptions tailored to your unique biochemistry

  • Clear explanations and practical guidance you can actually follow

  • Ongoing care and review as your health evolves

Our Philosophy

Approach

Jola practises clinical herbal medicine as an evidence-informed healthcare - working alongside conventional treatment or as a standalone approach. She brings together traditional herbal knowledge with modern phytochemical research and deep understanding of how body systems connect and influence each other.

Clinical Expertise

With in-depth knowledge of over 150 medicinal herbs and their specific, often synergistic actions, Jola formulates individualised prescriptions tailored to each person's unique biochemistry and health picture. She looks at how imbalances develop over time and which processes in your body need support to restore health.

Training and Professional Standards

Jola trained with leading educators in both herbal and conventional medicine, including Simon Mills, Marion Mackonchie, Anita Ralph, Dr Chris Etheridge, Dr Phil Deakin, and Dedj Leibrandt. She regularly engages with the College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy (CPP) and College of Medicine and Integrated Health.

As a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH) - one of Europe’s oldest professional herbal medicine bodies - she adheres to rigorous professional, ethical, and safety standards in clinical practice.
