Miriam Young, Clinical Herbalist, Counsellor & Ma’at Healing Therapist
Miriam Young is a qualified Clinical Herbalist with over 28 years of practice and formulation experience supporting people with complex and chronic health conditions through evidence-informed herbal and nutritional medicine.
Her approach focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying drivers of imbalance, while supporting the body’s natural ability to restore function using targeted plant-based, nutritional, and lifestyle strategies.
Miriam has extensive clinical experience supporting clients with:
- Gut health disorders including IBS, SIBO, IBD, reflux, bloating, and food intolerances
- Thyroid conditions including Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease
- Hormonal imbalance including PCOS, estrogen dominance, and cycle irregularities
- Chronic fatigue, burnout, and low energy states
- Nutritional deficiencies and malabsorption issues
- Liver dysfunction and impaired detoxification pathways
- Kidney stress and reduced filtration function
- Metabolic and inflammatory conditions linked to gut dysbiosis
- Cardiovascular health and insulin sensitivity
Her work also includes structured detoxification and rebuilding programs designed to support liver, gut, and cellular function in a safe, clinically considered way — rather than through aggressive or restrictive protocols.
Across nearly three decades of practice, Miriam has worked with complex, multi-layered presentations where digestive dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, chronic inflammation, and stress-related health patterns often overlap. Her clinical focus is centred on restoring foundational gut and metabolic health to support long-term wellbeing and sustainable change.
Miriam integrates Herbal and Nutritional Medicine with Ma’at Healing therapy, recognising the important connection between emotional health, unconscious stress patterns, and physical wellbeing. This combined approach aims to support healing on both a physical and deeper emotional level.
Clients are encouraged to bring or email recent medical test results prior to their consultation, as these can provide valuable insight into underlying health patterns. Additional testing may be recommended where appropriate and can be arranged through your GP or through a private pathology laboratory organised by Miriam.
Any pathology results arranged through the private laboratory are automatically forwarded to Miriam and reviewed thoroughly during consultation. Clients should also bring a list of current medications and supplements.
Each treatment plan is personalised to the individual. Clients receive a customised herbal formula together with detailed dietary, nutritional, and lifestyle guidance. Herbal prescriptions and treatment instructions are emailed within 24 hours following consultation.
Herbal and Nutritional Medicine may be used alongside conventional medical care or as a complementary standalone approach.
Miriam is passionate about helping clients better understand their symptoms while addressing the underlying factors contributing to ongoing health concerns.
“I love witnessing clients regain their energy, improve their digestion and sleep, restore balance, and finally feel like themselves again. Seeing long-term deficiencies, inflammation, and chronic symptoms improve over time is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.”
