⌘ About
I came to herbalism because Western medicine was unable to respond to my personal needs. Unlike Western medicine’s more linear symptom-to-diagnosis modality, I aim to treat the whole person. I firmly believe that Western and Eastern medicine can complement each other, and use herbalism to help my clients on their own path to healing
I began my formal studies at California School of Herbal Studies where my teachers and peers opened the door into this interconnected universe of herbalism. Here I began to align more closely with the natural world, and as I see it we are part of and within this vast universe. Embarking on my herbalist practice during a global pandemic demanded resilience, patience, and humility.
I completed my training at ArborVitae School of Traditional Herbalism. My teachers and fellow students guided me with compassion and gratitude, and I hope to offer the same to my clients. My clinical approach is to treat all beings with an open-mind, respect, and attention that is both individual and holistic. Humans are complicated, and my clients constantly inspire me to listen with an open heart.
⌘ Initial Consultation
90 minutes
$125 - $225 (self-determining sliding scale)
The initial consultation will go over the client’s history and concerns. The goal is to have a holistic impression of the individual. Patterns will often emerge which may be both physical and emotional mind. I will create an individualized protocol with herbal medicines, food recommendations, lifestyle suggestions, and resources. My theoretical perspectives include Western herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurvedic practices.
Follow-up included (15-30 minutes) with discussion about protocol.
“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”
I want to take a moment to honor love.
