Sheereen Khan
Sheereen is our homeopath and has worked at the practice since
February 2008. She has practised homoeopathy for 10 years in Sussex and Surrey. She also works as a consultant at Helios Homoeopathic Pharmacy in Tunbridge Wells two days each week.

Along with her work as a homoeopath, Sheereen teaches meditation at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre in Brighton. Sheereen has also been trained by Dr Deepak Chopra, a world leader in mind/body medicine to teach Primordial Sound Meditation. These two disciplines, along with her own life experience as a mother and practitioner, have engendered a real interest in why we get sick and how to stay well.
