KENT, UK, October 8, 2026: Residents across Kent can now access a new online resource for clinical herbal medicine following the launch of a website by Green Gold Clinic. Founded around the work of practitioner Maria Shahin, the platform introduces visitors to the clinic’s approach to personalised healthcare and provides information for those considering professional consultations.
Maria Shahin is a fully accredited and professionally insured practitioner of Western Herbal Medicine based in Kent. The website is part of Green Gold Clinic’s continuing development and includes a complimentary five-minute discovery consultation for those interested in finding out more about the service.
Alongside individual consultations, the clinic works with businesses and employers seeking to support workforce wellbeing and improve employee effectiveness. Its areas of focus include stress, menopause, andropause, hormonal balance and metabolic health.
Maria’s path into clinical herbal medicine reflects a longstanding interest in the natural world. Her professional experience extends across more than a decade in herbal medicine, supported by an earlier career in the perfume industry that lasted over 20 years.
As a child, Maria was drawn to plants, scents and botanical materials, often creating her own mixtures while other children were occupied with games and activities.
That early curiosity became a lasting professional interest, giving her a foundation of experience with plant-based ingredients before she moved into clinical practice.
After living and working in the United States for three years, Maria returned to England in 2019. She later completed her UK clinical herbal medicine education and achieved full qualification in 2023.
Green Gold Clinic offers consultations to adults between the ages of 18 and 80. Its services are particularly relevant to people looking for individualised support with health concerns that can accompany midlife. Appointments allow patients to discuss their health history, diet, supplement use, and existing acute or chronic conditions.
Maria belongs to the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, the UK’s leading professional body for medical herbal practitioners. Her training involved academic learning and supervised clinical practice, providing experience in addressing a broad range of health-related concerns.
By creating a dedicated online platform, Green Gold Clinic hopes to make it easier for people to understand clinical herbal medicine and determine whether its services may suit their needs.
“Launching the website is an important step in making it easier for people to understand what clinical herbal medicine involves and how consultations can support their health needs,” said Maria. “For many people, the first challenge is knowing where to find reliable information, and the website helps provide that starting point.”
The website arrives as more people explore herbal medicine and lifestyle-informed approaches to maintaining their health. For independent practitioners, digital resources can help bridge the gap between public interest and access to specialist information.
Maria sees the website as an extension of the clinic’s commitment to an individual approach to healthcare.
“My experience through study, clinical training and professional practice has reinforced the importance of taking an individual approach to health,” she said. “The website enables patients to learn more about that process and decide whether a consultation may be appropriate for them.”
The platform also outlines the clinic’s services for those interested in herbal medicine prescriptions, nutrition and supplement guidance, and exercise recommendations. Green Gold Clinic intends to use the website to increase awareness of its work throughout Kent.
The website will serve as a central information point for current patients and prospective clients seeking details about the clinic and its consultation process.
