About Virginia
Virginia Hendry, ND (CNM), Dip. Nat Nut (CNM), Institute of Functional Medicine AFMCP, BA, DipEd
Virginia is an experienced and empathetic Functional Medicine Practitioner, Naturopath and Nutritional Therapist.
She obtained her post-graduate qualification as a Naturopath from the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, after first completing their 3-year honours-degree-level (UK NQF Level 6) training in Nutritional Therapy. This initial training included one year of biomedicine (biochemistry, anatomy, pathology and pathophysiology), and two full years of evidence-backed nutritional medicine.
On qualifying in both fields, she then undertook further intensive studies with the Institute of Functional Medicine, which took a more in-depth look at the body’s various systems and disorders, including gastro-intestinal, cardiovascular and hormonal health.
As spiritual, emotional and mental well-being is at the heart of Functional Medicine, she also went on to earn a diploma in Hypnotherapy and is registered with the National Counselling Society.
Virginia regularly gives talks to organisations and businesses, and comments to local news outlets on natural and nutritional medicine.
Virginia is a member of the following professional organisations:

What some of The Natural Medic’s clients would like you to know…
“Finding Virginia has been a game changer.”
This time last year I was inconsolable. Finding Virginia has been a game-changer. Before I found her, I had suffered years and years of poor health, with countless visits to doctors and dozens of medical investigations due to severe pains in my stomach which would wake me up in the night, as well as nausea and bloating. Within just a few months of working with her my many years of misery had ended. Not only have my stomach issues been fixed, but my mood has lifted, and my brain fog has improved.”
Susan, 69
“I feel lucky to have found Virginia”
“I feel lucky to have found Virginia as my Naturopath, she is a great support in my healing journey with breast cancer. She is very thorough in her approach and clearly explains the reasons for her suggested protocol.”
Jane, 81
“Her help has been invaluable”
“Virginia spent a long time asking me a lot of questions and was very thorough in her approach. She then created a diet and lifestyle plan for me that, with supplements, worked wonders for my health.
After a few weeks, my energy levels were way up and my haemorrhoids shrunk and healed – and they’ve never returned.
Her help has been invaluable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone suffering from stubborn health issues.”
James, 47
“Her protocol was simple and easy to follow”
After just a few weeks of following Virginia’s advice and taking her supplements, I felt some improvement, and within a few months, the pains had completely gone, and my strength had returned. Now I enjoy all my old pursuits like gardening and long-distance bicycle rides. Her protocol was simple and easy to follow, and yet the results were superb.”
Joe, 77
“She was incredibly thorough in her first consultation”
“I had been suffering from eczema and anxiety on and off since I was a child and had all but given up hope of a life without these issues. Virginia made me feel like I could overcome them. She was incredibly thorough in her first consultation, and I was interested to hear her interpretation of what I had been going through and why. It gave me a really clear understanding of some of the root causes of my issues and what I could do to calm them down.”
Bella, 26
“ I cannot thank her enough for all her help”
“I followed all of her advice – took all the pills – and slowly but surely I started to see the benefit. It’s been more than six months since I had a hot flush and I am now enjoying the most deliciously deep, uninterrupted sleeps.
I cannot thank her enough for all her help and care.”
