Natalia Kerkam gained her degree in Herbal Medicine from the University of Central Lancashire in 2003, and has practised in Warrington, where she lives, ever since.

Once an NHS finance manager, Natalia changed career after one of her children had herbal treatment. 'After months of emergency GP appointments and broken nights, we had a healthy child again, and life returned to normal," she says. "I wanted to make that kind of difference for other people."

She also enjoys helping and learning from the Herbal Medical students that she supervises from the University of Central Lancashire.

Natalia has a particular interest in women's health, from the often difficult teenage years through to the menopause.
