ABOUT SARAH TURTON

Master Herbalist & Iridologist
Creator of The Turton Method™

A Clear, Gentle Approach to Healing

I help people who feel anxious, overwhelmed or out of balance rebuild their health in a way that feels calm, understandable, and deeply supportive.
My work combines herbal medicine, iridology, emotional patterning and nature-based healing into a clear terrain-led system: The Turton Method™.

My focus is always the same:
to bring clarity where there has been confusion, and to help your body find its way back to steadiness.

Why I Do This Work

For many years I watched people search for answers in all directions — feeling unheard, dismissed or overwhelmed by conflicting advice.
I wanted to create a way of working that was:

  • gentle

  • grounded

  • simple

  • emotionally intelligent

  • rooted in nature

  • and genuinely supportive

Herbal medicine gave me the tools.
Iridology gave me the map.
Nature gave me the rhythm.
And my clients gave me the purpose.

The Turton Method™ is the result of years of study, clinical experience, and deep listening — to plants, to patterns, and to people.

What I Believe

I believe:

  • the body is a living landscape

  • symptoms are signals, not failures

  • emotional patterns shape physical patterns

  • nature softens, steadies and restores

  • gentle interventions create deep shifts

  • clarity calms the nervous system

  • people heal best when they understand themselves

Healing is not forceful.
It is a remembering — a returning — to your own natural rhythm.

How I Work

I look at your whole terrain:
your constitution, tissue states, digestion, nervous system tone, emotions, sleep, life patterns and the deeper rhythms underneath.

Using herbal medicine, iridology and nature-based guidance, we create a plan that feels:

  • simple

  • achievable

  • nurturing

  • and tailored to your body’s pace

There is no rushing.
No overwhelm.
No complicated regimes.
Just clear, steady support.

The Turton Method™

This is the framework I use in every consultation.
It weaves together:

  • herbal energetics

  • iridology

  • emotional terrain

  • simple, effective plant formulations

  • nature connection

  • sequential healing

  • pattern recognition

  • nourishment of the whole terrain

It brings depth without pressure, insight without overwhelm, and clarity to people who have often felt lost in their health journey.

A Bit More About Me

I am a Master Herbalist, Iridologist, teacher and nature-based practitioner, grounded in traditional herbal craft and modern terrain understanding.
I work across Oxfordshire and Sussex, supporting clients locally and internationally.

Outside the clinic, I spend time in woods, meadows and water, tending my own nervous system through the same practices I teach: quietness, natural rhythm, and a deep respect for plants.

If You’re Ready to Feel Supported

If you feel anxious, stuck, depleted or unsure where to turn next, I can help you understand your body and begin rebuilding resilience, gently and clearly.

Speaking from the Heart

As well as working one-to-one, I love sharing the healing power of herbs with groups, whether through women’s circles, local events, or wellness gatherings. My talks are grounded, soulful, and practical — often weaving together herbal wisdom, emotional healing, and the forgotten language of nature.

I speak about topics like:

  • Iridology – what the eyes reveal about your health story

  • Herbs for mood, sleep, and vitality – gentle, effective support from the garden and hedgerow

  • Some of my most loved talks include:

    • What your eyes can tell you – A gentle intro to iridology

    • Herbs for vitality, sleep & mood – Practical support from the garden and hedgerow

    • Nature, Nurture & Self-Care – Explore how herbs, seasonal rhythms, and nature connection can restore balance and inner peace. A gentle invitation to come home to yourself through natural self-care.

    • Herbal Allies for the Anxious Mind – Discover the herbs that soothe the nervous system and support emotional resilience. Ideal for sensitive souls navigating stress, overwhelm, or inner restlessness.

Each talk is shaped by the audience — sometimes reflective, sometimes playful, always rooted in the belief that healing begins with reconnection.

If you’d like me to speak at your WI group, community event, or wellness gathering, I’d love to hear from you.

Workshops and Speaking

Alongside my clinical work, I offer talks, workshops and public speaking for community groups, organisations and educational settings. My style is warm, clear and accessible, bringing herbal medicine and natural healing to life in a way that inspires and empowers. Each session is tailored to the audience and grounded in simple, practical wisdom.
