Meet Jill

Registered Master Medical Herbalist, Certified Nutritionist & Iridologist

Hello there! My name is Jill Donaldson and I am a qualified medical herbalist, nutritionist and iridologist. I studied at the Irish School of Herbal Medicine in Portlaoise, Ireland, in the fields of Master Medical Herbalism, Vitalist Nutrition, and Iridology. My passion for holistic, functional, integrative health solutions was born out of the ashes of my own health struggles, from chronic headaches to recurrent UTIs, and from hormonal imbalance to mental health. Off I went down the health and wellness rabbit hole of the internet in search of health advice that made sense to me and that I resonated with. After experimenting with different modalities, supplements, herbs, eating habits, therapies, you name it, I found I resonated most with the plant gifts from Mother Nature. She lays out all these wonderful, powerful plants on this Earth for us and she knows exactly what she’s doing! I have seen herbal medicine transform people, and have plenty of personal experience with these gorgeous herbs myself. 

But the herbs don’t work best alone. To experience true healing, we must take inventory of our lives. I’m sure you’ve heard the expressions, “food is medicine” and “laughter is the best medicine”. Our diet and our emotions are all part of the healing puzzle too. It’s not just a herbal “pill for an ill”. That’s why my approach involves using therapeutic diets, herbal medicine, movement, meditation, and other natural therapeutics and lifestyle changes. And don’t worry, I won’t be forcing you to do anything, or challenging you by insisting you take on too much too soon. The diet and lifestyle changes that best suit you will be presented to you gradually, at a sustainable pace, because you will be building a healthier, happier future, and that needs strong foundations, not slap-dash ones. My main goal is to provide you with resources, tools, and strategies to create a healing plan that makes sense for you and your body so you can live a longer, healthier, happier life, disease-free. Having said all this, you put in what you get out! In order to heal, you must feel empowered and involved in the process of recovery. You, the patient, are an important factor in enabling improvement to take place, and so a huge emphasis is on the inner process. You need to be ready and willing to take responsibility for creating your future outcome.
