Invite herbal medicine into your life. Work one-on-one with a clinical herbalist.
Why work with an herbalist?
Working with a community or clinical herbalist is key in establishing appropriate and effective herbal protocols. I believe in integrated healthcare where traditional and modern medicine can work in tandem to promote healing and life-long wellness. I work with people who are on pharmaceutical medications and supplements, and want to integrate herbals into the picture in a safe and effective way. I am not a licensed healthcare practitioner, doctor or nurse, and I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. As an herbalist, I collaborate with you to educate and empower you to build relationships with plants that will support and nourish your body, mind, and spirit to promote long-term health.
Why work with herbs?
Plants and Humans have co-evolved together since the beginning of time. In fact, not one of us would be here if we didn't have ancestors who intimately knew the plants and worked with them. Modern Western Medicine is only a few centuries old, and so throughout most of history and throughout most of the world (even today), traditional healing practices, including herbal medicine have kept people healthy and well. Medicinal herbs can offer the mind, body, and spirit support in many ways. The unique phyto-chemicals and energetics held within medicinal plants work on the body in a myriad of ways. When utilized properly, medicinal plants can help manage ones health and wellness as preventive care, to address acute ailments, and provide healing to underlying conditions of chronic illness.
What takes place during an herbal consultation?
During an herbal consultation we begin with your main concerns and goals, delve into your health history, I ask you many questions, and create a personalized herbal protocol. Consultations are a structured conversation about you, your goals, and the plants that can support you as we work towards those goals. Diet and lifestyle are typically a part of the discussion. Consultations can be held in person if you are local (with safe social distancing practices) or over the phone, Facetime, or Zoom.
It is important to me to create a container that is safe, nourishing, and free of judgement. My practice is trauma informed. I do my best to make sure you are heard, held, and supported.
Cost & Accessibility
I strongly believe that herbal healthcare is a basic human right and that no one should be without it because of lack of funds. In addition, it is important to me to make herbal wellness accessible for those who have experienced institutionalized racism, marginalization, and financial oppression due to racism and misogyny. I offer two "pay-what-you-can" consultations per month to people who fall under the above categories and/or would truly struggle to afford my fixed rates. If you'd like to have a short or long "pay-what-you-can" consult, simply reach out via email.
