The heart of my herbal practice is rooted in a deep belief in the healing power of Nature. Although herbal medicine is an ancient practice, it is effective for modern health concerns. Whole plant, whole person herbal medicine is a comprehensive health modality when it is created for the person and not for the disease. Our bodies are dynamic, self-regulating, intelligent beings. Plants nurture this innate intelligence to balance and to heal.
I practice collaborative care working with you and your medical provider’s plan to support the complex journey back to health. I carefully choose your herbal remedies so they can safely and effectively be incorporated into your current medical recommendations. I do my best to foster honest discussions about expectations, costs and how to integrate your health plan into your life.
An herbal assessment includes:
- Defining your health goals
- Reviewing lab reports and medications
- Observational, tongue and pulse assessment
- A comprehensive herbal and supplement plan that includes symptom support and recommendations for deeper healing
I believe in each person’s ability to thrive even while living with a health challenge. Plants are wonderful allies offering us grace while we meet life’s challenges.
