June is a fully qualified medical herbalist, having completed a 4-year degree full-time course at Middlesex University.

June has a grounded knowledge in phytopharmacology and herb and drug interactions, including Western medicine and Traditional Chinese energetic principles of diagnosis and treatment. These are all essential aspects integral to her successful practice.
