Pamela Spence
Medical Herbalist
MA (Hons), BSc (Hons), MNIMH
Member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH)
Pamela has worked as the medical herbalist at The Carrick Clinic since it moved to Prestwick Main Street in 2007 and has been in clinical practice since then. She and her husband Karl (Charlie) Grimm took over the clinic in 2012 and for 12 years ran the clinic, with a team of 12 therapists until 2024 when they down-sized to focus more on their key expert areas and provide a more tranquil space for local patients.
Pamela is also the herbal expert behind several herbal brands selling over the counter herbal products in the UK. Most notably, she is responsible for helping to design the hugely successful Twinings Superblends range – and if you look on the Cool Moments packaging, you’ll also find her named on the back. She is a prolific writer and lecturer in herbal medicine. She has been spotted in her own BBC Scotland online series about traditional uses for herbs, in OK! Magazine, The Financial Times, The Telegraph, Women and Home and Your Healthy Living Magazine. You can find out more about Pamela’s work by visiting her own website.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Having attended Pamela’s clinic with a chronic illness, I’m absolutely delighted with the progress I have made by taking the herbal medicine that was tailored to suit my needs.
I have made the kind of recovery that I wouldn’t have thought was possible at one time. I would certainly recommend a consultation with Pamela, it has been so worthwhile for me.
Pamela is very easy to talk to and she has a wealth of experience treating people – that makes all the difference.
Your herbalist is for life, the not-so-good times and the good times. Thank you, Pamela! I am extremely grateful for everything and for helping me turn my life around!
Pamela really has had a huge impact on my life and has been with me through some really big changes. She has always treated me as an individual. What works for one person is different for another.
Pamela’s approach is thorough and compassionate, and I feel that she went out of her way to offer useful advice and a wealth of information to complement the medicine.
