THE PERSON BEHIND ANN THE HERBALIST

About Ann

Hello, I’m Ann Stuart—a qualified medical herbalist, author and lifelong student of plants.

I studied at Middlesex University, London, and have nearly thirty years’ experience in herbal medicine and traditional therapies. Through Ann the Herbalist, I share that knowledge in a way that is clear, practical and easy to follow.

Qualifications and Recognition

  • BSc Herbal Medicine (Hons) — Middlesex University, June 2016.
  • Diploma in Herbalism — School of Natural Health Sciences, January 2011. SNHS Dip (Herbalism).
  • Diploma in Reflexology — Pembrokeshire College, November 2000. Association of Reflexologists (AoR).
  • Diploma in Aromatherapy — Pembrokeshire College, June 2000. International Institute of Health and Holistic Therapies (IIHHT).

In October 2016, I received The Michael Burns Award for outstanding achievement from the National Institute of Medical Herbalists.

Herbal knowledge for everyday life

My aim is to help people learn about herbs and bring traditional knowledge into their own kitchens and gardens. Familiar ingredients are a useful place to begin, whether you are exploring herbal teas, learning about traditional preparations or taking an interest in real food and fermentation.

Books, videos and learning

I write as Ann Stuart and publish through Herbal Heritage Press. My books explore gut health, aromatic history and the wisdom we gather through living. On my YouTube channel, Ann the Herbalist, I share practical ideas, and I’m developing a beginner herbal course for people who would like a structured place to start.

Above all, I want this site to be a welcoming place to learn, explore and return to—one simple discovery at a time.
