The Body Detective
Online Functional and Herbal Medicine and Neuromuscular Therapy Across the UK
Your body speaks in sensations, symptoms and patterns.
I help you understand what it’s saying.
Together we uncover the underlying story of your health and create a plan that feels right for your life.
​
I’m Rebecca Haynes. I offer online functional and herbal medicine consultations across the UK, combining personalised natural approaches to wellbeing with a particular interest in resolving persistent, complex and overlapping symptoms.
​
Previously based near Tunbridge Wells, I now work online with clients in Tunbridge Wells, Kent and East Sussex, as well as across the UK.
What I can help with
Your symptoms are clues. I follow them back to the source.
I bring together functional medicine, personalised herbal prescriptions and an understanding of how the nervous system influences wider health. My particular interest is in persistent and overlapping symptoms - exploring connections between sleep, digestion, hormones, immunity, energy and pain.
Drawing on my background in neuromuscular therapy and clinical neurochemistry, I look at how these systems interact and develop a practical plan tailored to you.
Symptoms often overlap. If your difficulties span several areas or don’t fit neatly into one category, we can explore them together.

How it works
STEP 1: A DETAILED ONLINE CONSULTATION
We spend at least 60–90 minutes exploring your symptoms, health history, current medication and daily routines. I listen, enquire and investigate.
STEP 2: UNDERSTANDING THE PATTERN
After the session I assess how different aspects of your health may be connected and explain the priorities for your support.
STEP 3: YOUR PERSONALISED PLAN
Your personalised plan may include an individual herbal prescription, nutritional guidance and practical support for sleep, movement and daily routines. I explain the priorities and why each recommendation may help. Where targeted testing would meaningfully inform your care, we discuss the options and costs.
STEP 4: FOLLOW-UP AND ADJUSTMENT
We review your progress, discuss what has changed and adjust the plan as needed.
FAQs
Do you offer a natural or naturopathic approach?
My approach combines functional and herbal medicine with nutrition and practical support for sleep, movement and daily routines. It shares the whole-person focus of naturopathic approaches, while drawing on my training in clinical neurochemistry and experience in neuromuscular therapy. Recommendations take account of your health history and current medication.
​
Can I consult you if I have several ongoing symptoms?
Yes. I have a particular interest in persistent and overlapping symptoms, including combinations of fatigue, digestive problems, disrupted sleep, hormonal symptoms and pain. We explore possible connections and agree practical priorities for your care.
I offer a great combination of clinical experience and analytical precision. Before becoming a practitioner, I worked as a barrister. Learning to examine evidence carefully, question assumptions and recognise patterns still shapes how I work. I take time to investigate persistent symptoms and understand how different aspects of your health may fit together.
