Marlene Houghton has always been interested in natural health and has studied herbal healing, nutritional medicine, and alternative health therapies for many years. She worked in conventional medical settings for over 25 years as a medical personal assistant in top London teaching hospitals. She is also an astrologer, tarot consultant & tutor, as well as a qualified nutritional therapist and traditional herbalist (phytotherapy). When Marlene first studied astrology, she was fascinated to learn that early doctors were also astrologers and that astrology and health were closely interlinked. She studied herbal and nutritional medicine as a mature student, and learned how the right food, healing plants and herbs can improve health and well-being. Marlene lives in London.
