What does an herbal consultation entail?As your herbalist, I will consider all of your needs - physical, emotional, spiritual, nutritional and lifestyle. I will strive to empower you, giving you the space to be heard, the time you need to heal, and the knowledge to reach your wellness goals. I do not diagnose, prescribe or treat medical conditions nor can I give you advise on any of your pharmaceuticals or medications at any time. During your appointment, we will review each body system, looking at how individual symptoms relate to patterns affecting your body as a whole. Then I will create a customized herbal protocol that matches you with the best herbs to support your unique constitution. You are in charge of transforming your health. I will walk with you on the pathway to revitalizing your health. Holistic herbal protocols help guide your body in its innate healing abilities.
-
What is included in a custom herbal protocol?Custom herbal protocols are formulated specifically for your constitution. Both plants and people have energetics - hot, cold, damp, dry, tense, or relaxed. As your clinical herbalist, I work to match your specific energetics and health concerns with the energies of the plants to formulate your custom blend. I might use tinctures, herbal infusions (medicinal herbal teas), or supplements within your custom formula.

How long does it take to see results when using herbs?Using herbs requires time and dedication to see a real difference in your health. You may notice some changes immediately and at other times there will be slow, subtle changes over weeks or months. I want you to feel you can fit these herbal protocols into your busy life. With a little bit of time and consistency, you will be on your way to living your best life.
-
How do I get the herbs?I will reach out to you within 1 week after your consultation or follow up visit with a customized plan for you. This will include a recommended herbal protocol and other lifestyle changes. We will review the plan together to make sure it fit into your current lifestyle and develop a plan for where you can get your herbs. I have a few locations that will fill my herbal formulas and either ship them to you or are available for pickup. Or, herbs can be purchased individually for you to mix yourself at home.
