Trained Holistic Therapist, Health coach and Medical Herbalist

Giacomo Sandri

Hi, I am Giacomo, a holistic medicine practitioner, medical herbalist, health coach and sport massage therapist.

I have dedicated my clinical practice to support people in achieving optimal energy, mental sharpness and emotional resilience. I have struggled with low energy, depression, anxiety, chronic inflammation and exhaustion throughout my twenties and have found my way out through a regular use of medicinal herbs in combination with dietary changes, daily exercises and the thorough support of health coaches. I am therefore committed to share these gifts with people who are struggling with chronic fatigue, poor energy or are affected by debilitating conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome/ME, fibromyalgia and long COVID.

My unique therapeutic model includes the combination of medicinal herbs with nutrition guidance and lifestyle coaching to support you to restore physical energy, mental sharpness, emotional resilience and, most importantly, to become a vital and empowered version of You!

Qualifications and Experience

I gained my knowledge of medicinal herbs through a three-year degree in herbal medicine, which I attained at Lincoln University in 2017. Since then, I have committed myself to constantly deepening my knowledge of natural medicine and holistic health.

7+ Years of Clinical Experience

I have established my first holistic and herbal medicine practice in Bristol in 2018. Through these years of practice, I have treated a large diversity of patients both in person and online. After many success stories, I shifted the focus of my practice on supporting people with chronic fatigue

Lectures, Workshops and Publications

An essential part of my path as a health coach and medical herbalist is working with groups to share my knowledge and experience to empower individuals. Since 2016 I have run more than 20 successful workshops in the UK and Italy. Additionally, I have published three articles in the popular online magazine Naturopath and one in the renowned herbal medicine website Herbal Reality.

“After contacting him for assistance with getting out of the perpetual cycle of burnout and heightened anxiety, he provided both information in the form of a dietary plan, resources to help understand more about the health conditions I was experiencing. After following Giacomo’s protocol for the past few months, I feel so much more resourced and have found myself able to handle life challenges and responsibilities, and my health issues have improved in ways that I could not have imagined.”

FAQs

Are herbs safe to use alongside medications?

Most of the herbs we will incorporate into your program are known for being safe and free of significant side effects when used within the recommended dosages. However, it’s essential to consider potential interactions between herbs and medications. We’ll carefully evaluate your current medications and medical history to ensure the selected herbs complement your treatment plan without any adverse effects. Your safety is our top priority.

Can chronic fatigue be reversed?

Yes! With the right combination of dietary optimization, targeted herbal remedies, and daily self-empowering routines, exercises and rituals the symptoms of chronic fatigue can be significantly reduced and often completely resolved. Often this process works in a two-steps-forward, one-step-backward fashion, so persistence and patience are the key ingredients in success.

How long will it take to regain my energy and vitality?

The timeline varies from person to person, depending on factors such as the severity of your condition and your commitment to implementing the recommended changes. The more consistent and proactive you are with the dietary, herbal, and lifestyle strategies we outline, the faster you can expect to see results. While some improvements may be noticeable within weeks, lasting transformation typically takes a few months of dedicated effort.

Is herbal medicine the same of homoeopathy?

No. Homeopathy is based on the "like cures like" principle, using highly diluted substances to stimulate the body's self-healing response. Herbal medicine, on the other hand, uses whole plant extracts or parts (leaves, roots, flowers, etc.) in measurable doses to treat ailments. It works through the active compounds in plants, which have direct physiological effects on the body.
