Peter Jackson Main began his enquiry into natural healing soon after leaving Cambridge University in the mid-70s, prompted by his own health issues. Before finding the The College of Herbs and Natural Healing and training in Herbal Medicine and Iridology, Peter had already found and trained in Reflexology, Massage and Aromatherapy, Polarity Therapy and other modalities of energy healing. He later completed a Master of Sciences. Peter has worked extensively within the herbal and naturopathic community to promote the self-determination of the profession and navigate the legislative environment surrounding the use of natural medicines. He was a co-founder in 1995, and long-serving chairman of the Association of Master Herbalists, and has also represented herbal and natural medicine on key government consultations and working groups. Peter is currently Chair of the General Naturopathic Council and is a Fellow of the Guild of Naturopathic Iridologists. He is currently Senior Lecturer and Course Director for Herbal Medicine, Academic Director and Head of Research at the College of Naturopathic Medicine (CNM). Peter is also a working musician with a back-catalogue of self-penned recordings, as well as a specialist interest in Arabian music, playing percussion in an Arab Takht ensemble.
