What to expect from an herbal health consultation
Because of the thorough nature of a holistic health consultation, addressing health history, symptoms, and overall health goals & challenges in detail, allow 2 hours for the initial consultation. In complicated cases it can take longer. If you fill out the client questionnaire before our appointment, I will be more prepared, and the interview can be more focused and efficient.
From our conversation we will arrive at a general interpretation of what's going on with your health, and a strategy for how to address it. Herbal medicines may be provided on the first visit, but in most complex cases, I will need time to prepare a personalized formula or formulas designed to specifically work with your body. In these cases, we will meet again (included in the cost of the initial consultation), where I will give you a comprehensive written evaluation, go over treatment goals, explain and discuss therapies, and deliver your formula.
Occasionally cases are fully resolved with just one visit. More often, one or two follow-ups are required to fine-tune the process. In particularly stubborn or severe cases, more follow-ups can be expected.
Herbal remedies are powerful, but, unlike most pharmaceuticals, they support & work with your body's natural healing powers. Because of this, herbs work much better as part of a total holistic therapy that may involve changing certain behaviors or your diet. This is especially true in long-term deep-seated conditions. You may find that the more willing and able you are to change important things about your life, the more complete your healing process will be.
I am committed to providing accessible and affordable holistic care, so I work on a sliding scale: the costs of consultations and herbs vary according to what a client can afford to pay. My basic fee for an initial consultation is usually in the range of $25-$80. Follow-ups are $15-$20, depending on length of time. Clients who pay more make it possible for me to provide care to those who can afford to pay less. Bartering is also always a possibility.
