About me
Hi there. My name is Justine Evans ND and I thought it was about time I told you a little bit about me. It seems a long time ago since I introduced myself and I have just realised that my website seems to be devoid of me – focusing only on my work!
About me – nutrition and clinic based
I never really know how to refer to myself but “Hormone Alchemist” seems to fit! I have been a qualified clinical health practitioner since 1997 with multi-disciplinary body work qualifications including manual lymphatic massage, Swedish massage, numerous massage techniques, Indian head massage, Thai foot massage, reflexology, womb healing & well woman yoga to name but a few. The physical body really is fascinating. Having said that – whilst I love and remain passionate about body treatments I felt something was lacking. During 1999 I addressed this by training in Spagyric medicine, nutritional science, far infrared therapy and biofeedback. Wow, this was the shift I needed and by 2009 I had a science degree in Nutritional Medicine from The University of West London and found me! This additional training married my skills and I registered as a Naturopath with the GNC (ND diploma 2014) where I still sit.
My clinical expertise initially focused on (auto) immune health but evolved into endocrine, fertility and hormone health. For many years I specialised in fertility and pregnancy care but these days I tend to support all cycles of endocrine health including all forms of reproductive health (puberty, fertility, pregnancy, post partum, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, weight gain, recurrent miscarriage, menopause, etc) but well-man conditions including prostate, testosterone health matters, sperm health, andropause (the male menopause), erectile dysfunction and so much more. The endocrine system includes blood sugar health, diabetes, pancreatic support, thyroid health, adrenal health, parathyroid health, pituitary and many stress and inflammatory health conditions. I am closely linked with the seasons – internal and external so flow with this within my programmes.
I have been working with plant energy medicine since 1999 but used the “pandemic” to train in Homeotoxicology (Dip. Hons 2021) and am currently delving into intuitive herbalism which marries with Spagyric medicine beautifully.
I am totally fascinated with genetics and have been using functional nutrigenomics testing within my clinical practice for some years. Nutrigenomics is a fast growing area providing insights and clarity on genes and their SNPS (variants) which make each of us individual. Science is ever changing and I am very proud to announce that during early 2024 I completed a 3 month training programme with Lifecode GDX . I do not usually share my laboratory brands online but I am an avid believer in collaboration and it is both refreshing and heartwarming to find a UK based nutrigenomics laboratory for practitioners that provide well priced, well researched products with clear results. This supports you – my client. Time after time ” I watch the penny drop” as I explain your personal nutrigenomic results. It is as if you – my client – have been offered an open doorway to re-connect with yourself and recognise your individual needs at DNA level. This, in turn, encourages you to activate your personalised nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
As you are reading this you may think this all sounds like a lot of training but nutritional medicine and science is always evolving so being a clinical practitioner means never ending post graduate training and seminars to keep up to date.
Just for your information, I also taught anatomy and physiology, nutritional medicine (level 6) and naturopathy (level 6) for the School of Health for 8 years.
About me – spiritual based
My spiritual history is long. I have seen Spirit, aura and elementals since a young child. I trained in energy medicine via Reiki & Tera-Mai around 1998; eventually becoming a Master/Teacher in 2009. Since attuning to Master I have studied many forms of healing, become a Priestess of New Avalon, written my own oracle lifestyle cards, developed a fertility toolkit and authored 4 e-books. 2 on meditation, one focusing on a natural approach to fertility, plus a recipe book. I continue to follow my path integrating science, nature, the bodymind and spirit to maintain wholeness. I also teach workshops and medicine woman nature based programmes (the patriarchal influence insisted that I obtained a teaching diploma in adult education). From previous past life experiences I believe I have followed the healing medicine woman pathway many times. During this life time I cannot remember a time when I was not drawn to “the alternative way”. Whilst I have always been aware of my “sensitivities”; like many who tread this path, I did not really recognise them until I hit an “emotional barrier”. With the help of some wonderful human guides and spiritual masters I was shown how to “connect”, and continue to study to strengthen my intuition and interpretation methods.
About me – can I help you?
Whilst modern day medicine prefers you to focus on one modality to support wellbeing I blend all my modalities to provide personalised health programmes. Western science has many benefits, especially surgery and nutrigenomics but it has it’s limitations. The germ theory was discovered in the mid 1800’s and western science as we know it is in its infancy and remains one dimensional. Generally scientific research only answers the questions it is asked and unfortunately research questions can be biased. I think it’s good that I understand science but for me bodytalk, Spiritual science and Mother Gaia’s ancient wisdom, knowledge, plant medicine and practices are equally important.
About me – can I help you?
If you are drawn to my clinic I offer consultations from my home in Stroud, Gloucestershire and a clinic near Twickenham, Greater London providing nutritional medicine, energy healing consultations, health screening, functional medicine and testing, womb healing, psychic and oracle readings plus run “Learn Tarot groups” here in Stroud.
Online I facilitate wisewoman health courses, wisewoman goddess courses, and seasonal on line cleanses.
