There is something deeply satisfying about watching a dedicated graduate turn her knowledge, intuition, and passion into a living practice. Today, I am delighted to share and celebrate the launch of the beautiful new digital home for one of our own: Bramble & Iris.

Dawn’s Herbal Medicine Practice in Dumfries and Galloway

One of the things that makes Dawn’s practice so special is how deeply rooted it is in her everyday life on her magnificent small holding in Southern Scotland. This profound connection to her environment shines through every offering.

As a Master Herbalist, Naturopathic Nutritionist, and Master Iridologist, Dawn’s deep knowledge, wisdom and consultation skills are a true testament to her passion for natural medicine. She has embodied her learning at every step of her journey – from dedicated student to accomplished practitioner.

Home Grown Medicinal Herbs & Natural Offerings

At the heart of Bramble & Iris is a commitment to intentional, high quality herbal medicine, nature cure and food as medicine. Dawn is fortunate to be able to grow her own food and medicinal herbs, and forage on her small holding and each year she harvests, dries and creates herbal remedies in beautifully crafted, small-batches designed to bring natural harmony, care, healing and gentle nourishment into your daily routines.

Every jar, bottle, and remedy reflects her deep respect for plant wisdom and holistic wellbeing. Whether you are looking to enrich your self-care rituals, or are on a program for deeper self healing, her creations carry a level of purity and care that is rare to find.

Testimonial:

Working with Dawn for the 3 month Full Self Healing Programme has been a wonderful experience.

When I met Dawn, I had 3 main health goals, one of which was a long standing health issue with my IBS that had got to a place of permanent discomfort and pain on a daily basis. I had recently been to the doctor for tests and scans as they were convinced I had an issue with my liver and/ or gallbladder. Dawn provided me with a 3 month personalised programme which included a cleanse, nutrition guidance and herbs, as well as steps for optimising health following the programme.

Prior to starting my cleanse, I’d messaged Dawn in quite a panic, worrying that there was something more sinister going on. I asked her whether I should get some more tests done as I was so uncomfortable and miserable with pain. What struck me was Dawn’s ability to be calm and supportive in her response, but more importantly, to remain confident in the process and the outcomes she was expecting to see.

Within a week of my cleanse, my IBS symptoms had disappeared. 3 months on and I still haven’t had the same symptoms that I was experiencing at the beginning. I feel so much better and people around me all comment on how well I appear to be.

Dawn is an absolute pleasure to speak with. She is warm, friendly, empathetic and personable. It is clear she truly cares and wants to help heal people she meets. I look forward to working with her more in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to embark on their own journey of self healing. 


Please join me in congratulating her on this major milestone! We couldn’t be prouder to see her practice take root and flourish.
