Donna's extensive clinical background, combined with advanced training in functional medicine, hormone health, menopause care, gut health and metabolic medicine, enables her to bridge the gap between conventional healthcare and a root-cause approach to wellbeing. She is passionate about identifying and addressing the underlying drivers of ill health, rather than simply managing symptoms.

​

Having experienced her own significant health challenges, Donna understands first-hand the impact that chronic symptoms can have on every aspect of life. This personal journey inspired years of postgraduate study, extensive clinical training and ongoing research into functional medicine, women's hormones, nutrition, biochemistry and preventative healthcare. It continues to shape the compassionate, patient-centred philosophy that underpins Barleycorn Clinic today.

 

As an NMC-registered Nurse Practitioner Prescriber, Donna combines evidence-based medical practice with the principles of functional medicine to deliver highly personalised care.

 

Her consultations consider the whole person, integrating lifestyle, nutrition, laboratory diagnostics, hormones, gut health, metabolic health and conventional medical assessment to develop treatment plans tailored to each individual's needs.

​

Every consultation reflects Donna's commitment to clinical excellence, personalised medicine and exceptional patient care. Patients receive a thorough assessment, detailed treatment plan and ongoing support within a CQC-registered private medical clinic, where professionalism, empathy and long-term health optimisation are at the heart of everything we do.
