Herbal Medicine Consultations
All treatments are custom formulated to your individual needs.
Rooted In Tradition
Rooted in long tradition, herbal medicine offers a deeply restorative path to healing. The complex and multifaceted chemical structures provide support to multiple systems of the body at once, creating balance throughout. Beyond the physical, each herb brings its own unique presence, whether we need nourishment, protection, courage, or simply a companion to hold space.
What is herbal medicine?
Herbal medicine is an ancient and evolving practice that utilizes various parts of plants (seed, root, leaf, bark, or flower) in forms such as tea, tinctures, capsules, infused oils, or creams. Herbal treatments are crafted from a collection of hundreds of plants that have been used for thousands of years.
Why see a clinical herbalist?
Herbalists are trained to use herbs in safe and effective doses to achieve therapeutic effects. A herbalist understands how complex phytochemicals work across multiple systems of the body to produce healing benefits.
What to expect from a herbal consultation?
Initial herbal consultation (60–90 minutes): Includes a thorough review of your health history, lifestyle, diet, and emotional–spiritual wellbeing, followed by a personalized care plan that includes custom herbal formulas when appropriate.
Follow‑ups (up to 60 minutes): Help us track progress and refine your plan; once your regimen is stable, you can request refills, with periodic reassessments to ensure your care continues to fit your needs.

About Consultations
-
In our first session, we’ll take time to explore your health concerns and goals in depth. We’ll review your personal and family health history, daily habits, diet and nutrition, and the emotional and spiritual aspects of your wellbeing. From there, I’ll craft a personalized care plan with guidance on diet, lifestyle, and supplementation.
When appropriate, I’ll prepare a custom herbal formula (or a combination of formulas) for you. These are typically ready within a couple of days and will be shipped to you. Initial formulas are typically dispensed in two-week amounts and refilled for longer periods thereafter.
-
Follow-ups give us an opportunity to check in on changes since your last visit, address any new concerns, and fine-tune your plan. Your herbal formula may be adjusted or reformulated as your needs evolve.
After we’ve arrived at a stable regimen that works well for you—often after a few follow-ups—you’re welcome to request refills of your current formula(s) without booking a visit.
If you’ve been on the same formula(s) for several months, I recommend returning for a reassessment to ensure your care continues to match your current state and goals.
