Rumana started her career as a scientist, working as a microbiologist in laboratories that specialised in food and water analysis. She then spent time working in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry but finally became concerned about the limitations of Western medicine and decided to focus on exactly what it is that makes us healthy and well.
She went on to train as a practitioner of naturopathy, nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, kinesiology, iridology and yoga and now with over 30 years’ experience in clinical practice she is Director at Clinic Naturae, a board member of the Herbal Alliance, former Chair and currently a Council Member to the Association of Master Herbalists and the Laurence Society of Holistic Medicine.
Her keen interest in research led her to publish her work in major journals of medicine. Practicing in the vibrant city of Newcastle upon Tyne, Rumana also enjoys yoga, meditation and chi gong as well as dancing Argentine tango and sings in a Gregorian chant choir.
