About Melanie Frankland, Medical Herbalist and Reflexologist

I'm Melanie Frankland, a medical herbalist and reflexologist based in Finchley, north London, and a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (MNIMH). I've worked in complementary and natural health since 1998, and I am committed to blending traditional wisdom with modern, holistic practice.

I began in the natural health retail sector, advising customers on nutritional supplements, herbal and homeopathic remedies, and natural bodycare, where I developed a detailed working knowledge of ingredients and their uses. This grounding led me to formal study: I began my herbal medicine degree at Middlesex University in 1999, a four-year programme, and went on to practise as a medical herbalist from 2003. I later spent seven years teaching on the BSc Herbal Medicine programme at the University of East London.

After spending twelve years serving patients in the bustling environment of Neal's Yard in Covent Garden, I relocated to Finchley, seeking to offer a more community-focused approach, especially in light of the challenges posed by the pandemic. My goal has always been to empower patients by helping them take charge of their own health in a way that feels accessible and personalised.

In addition to my qualifications in herbal medicine, I am a member of the Association of Reflexologists (AoR) and a member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). I am also a certified breath training and yoga breathing coach with the Yoga Alliance. These credentials reflect my commitment to providing integrative, whole-body care for my patients, with an emphasis on balance, wellbeing, and long-term healing.

I offer standalone treatments in herbal medicine, reflexology, and breathwork, so you can choose the therapy that best suits your needs. Each treatment is tailored to address your specific concerns, whether you want to focus on stress relief, pain management, relaxation, energy restoration, or a chronic health condition.

While I often combine these therapies for a more comprehensive approach, each treatment can also be received individually, depending on what you're seeking. It's entirely up to you to decide what works best for your health and wellbeing.

When you visit my clinic, you can expect a personalised approach to your health, integrating herbal remedies, reflexology, and breathwork specifically tailored to meet your needs. Whether you are seeking relief from stress, pain, or chronic conditions, or simply want to feel more balanced and energised, my goal is to empower you to take control of your health in a holistic, natural way.

Each treatment is designed not only to address your immediate concerns but also to foster long-term vitality and overall wellness. I strive to create a safe and nurturing space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered on your journey to better health.

If you're ready to begin your healing journey, I invite you to contact me or book a session today. Together, we'll create a customised plan to help you restore balance, reclaim your health, and live life to the fullest.
