Consultations
What to expect from an herbal consultation
During our consultation you will be invited to share details about the concern or concerns for which you are seeking herbal support and how this is impacting different aspects of your life. I will also conduct a review of systems, in which I will ask questions about things like sleep, digestion, stress, and other potential contributing factors. My aim is to identify patterns within each relevant body system as these strongly influence one another, and to consider this information within the context of each clients medical history, community, and environment. A constitutional assessment is an integral part of my practice as a holistic herbal practitioner and helps me to make recommendations that are specifically tailored to each client. You are always welcome to ask for clarification about why I am asking any question at any time and you are under no obligation to volunteer anything you would rather not. Herbal consultations in my practice are designed to be collaborative and ever-focused on the goals of the clients.
I ask that any allergies, medications including supplements and over-the-counter medicines are shared so I can avoid making any recommendations that may be contraindicated.
I currently offer two kinds of appointments: Whole Health Consultation and Acute Herbal Care. I encourage scheduling a follow up after either of these appointment types so that we can discuss how the herbal recommendations are feeling and sot that any necessary adjustments, additions, or referrals or refills can be made.
Appointments are sliding scale.
I also offer 1 pay what you can appointment per month. Please reach out if cost is a barrier to access herbal care. Once your appointment is booked I will send a link to payment through the webstore. I am currently accepting cash or payments through venmo/paypal due at the time of the appointment.
See appointment descriptions below.
Whole Health Consultation 90 minutes
This option is best for chronic health concerns, more complex issues, or multiple complaints. Before meeting you will be asked to fill out a short intake form online. During the intake we will establish goals, review any relevant history and body systems.
We will then schedule a short outtake, typically 1 week later, in which we review recommendations together. This is included in the Whole Health Consultation.
The cost of herbal preparations is separate.
Cost of a whole health intake is $125.00
Cost of herbs depends on the specific goals and preference of the client.
Custom tincture blends are priced at $7/oz (typical recommendations include 4-6oz of tintcure with an estimated cost of $28-$35)
Custom tea blends are priced at $5/oz
Acute Herbal Care 45-60 minutes
This option is best for those seeking herbal support for concerns that are not chronic. During our conversation we will review the details of the issue and cover any relevant history and patterns. This is an abridged version of the whole health intake without an exhaustive review of body systems. This is most appropriate for concerns like: Minor skin, digestive, and respiratory issues (colds/flus) situational anxiety/stress.
In most cases herbal recommendations will be offered immediately following the appointment.
The cost of herbs is included in the Acute Herbal Care package. This will typically be a tea blend or 2 oz customized tincture with additions added to base formulas.
Cost is $80.00.
