Meet Katherine

Twenty years of listening, training and practice

Katherine Dandridge has practised Traditional Chinese Medicine for more than twenty years, with a particular focus on women’s health. Alongside her clinical work she is currently completing an MBA in Healthcare Management, which has prompted bigger questions: how do we make health information clearer, more accessible and more useful? She brings both compassion and structure to how she teaches in the new Wellnest Academy online courses.

Her focus on women’s health grew the way most things in this field do, by listening and by treating hundreds of women with Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture and herbal medicine, alongside functional testing and wellbeing approaches. Years of clinic conversations with women whose period symptoms had been dismissed, whose fertility worries had been brushed aside, and whose perimenopause symptoms had never been properly explained. Wellnest Wellbeing is her answer: clear, respectful, evidence-informed education and care, built around the whole person. Women’s health first, but never women’s health only.
