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.  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.
