Herbal Clinic

My approach to herbal medicine is rooted in traditional and modern Western herbalism. I prefer simple and accessible approaches utilizing preparations my clients can make themselves, easily access locally, or acquire through reputable online suppliers. I focus my work on a lifestyle approach to using food, safe herbs, and lifestyle adjustments to make gradual changes that practically fit into the realities of daily life. I deeply respect natural evolutionary processes and the innate wisdom of the natural world. Our bodies are immensely intelligent and complex systems that mirror the intelligence and complexity of the various ecosystems we are inevitably a part of. When given the proper support and resources, the human body can heal and mitigate challenges far more effectively.

Natural wisdom….

When used properly as whole plant extractions, herbs are powerful yet gentle healers, nourishers, and modulators of multiple bodily systems. Plants have been evolving on this planet far longer than we have, and therefore our evolution has been intimately involved with plants as they have provided modern humans and many ancestorial hominins with food, medicine, and raw materials for well over a million years.

Even today, 80% of the world’s population uses some form of herbal medicine as their primary care. Herbal medicine is both ancient and common medicine. Plants learned long before we did how to manage a multitude of pathogenic organisms such as viruses and bacteria, and how to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

In fact, many of the most potent herbal medicines are invasive weeds that have learned to adapt, survive, and thrive in numerous extreme and diverse environments.

My apporach is always integrative with a strong embrace of medical plurism, the diverse ways in which modern people integrate and utilize a variety of healthcare systems, paradigms, and treatments. Therefore, I do not promote herbal medicine as a sole option but rather a vital component of an integrative healthcare strategy. Herbs are highly complementary and supportive to numerous conventional biomedical and alternative approaches.

As a clinical herbalist and wellness counsultant, I can help you add a whole food diet and herbal medicine to your health and wellness toolkit. My focus in on empowerment of my clients to make their own healthcare and wellness choices through an awareness of more options. It is my firm belief that the more tools and choices you have in managing your health, the better you can solve problems and enhance wellbeing. Whether you’re wanting to improve your diet or incorporate herbal medicine into a current healthcare strategy, I can assist you in finding potential solutions for your wellness goals.
