Catherine Barker

I began my career as an NHS nurse before retraining in homeopathy and nutrition after having my children. I completed a four year homeopathy qualification followed by 2 year study in Nutrition at Regent’s College, London. I’ve continued to expand my expertise through ongoing professional development.

My approach integrates my background in nursing, homeopathy, nutrition, and functional health. I work holistically, focusing on the whole person and exploring potential underlying contributors to imbalance rather than simply addressing symptoms.

During consultations, I take a detailed case history that considers current concerns, past health, family history, lifestyle, diet, and emotional wellbeing. Where appropriate, I may recommend functional health tests to gain deeper insight into areas such as gut health, hormones, nutrition, and food sensitivities.

My particular interest in gut health began in 1997 after experiencing a period of Chronic Fatigue following a viral illness. Functional gut testing played a key role in my recovery, inspiring me to pursue further training with leading Functional Medicine practitioners in the US a commitment I continue to maintain through regular updates and advanced study.

By integrating nutrition, diet and lifestyle support and complementary approaches alongside conventional understanding, my aim is to help restore balance and support long term wellbeing.
