An herbal consultation is the first and one of the most important steps we take when we begin working with you to set and achieve any health goals that you want for yourself. The initial consultation usually lasts about an hour and in this time you are asked a series of questions to help us get a clear picture of your unique body, how it is functioning, and how we can properly nourish it. Information such as health history, current health, and where you would like to be is collected during this time. This part of the process is very important because it helps us narrow down on which herbs, foods, and changes will help you the most. 

​

Why is this so important? We do this because many times when working with plant medicine people use the "this herb for that" method - meaning they use the same herb on every person that displays similar symptoms - and that is not an effective method. Just because one remedy helped someone else, does not mean that remedy is going to work for you.

​

For example, people often talk about how echinacea is "good for your immune system" - while this can be true, it's not always the case. Echinacea is a very cool & drying herb, so if you use this herb with someone who has a cold & dry constitution there is a high probability that echinacea will not help them, and maybe even make their condition worse. Echinacea also stimulates the immune system which may be harmful to some with auto-immune disease.

​

The "this for that" method leaves room for mistakes and wasted herbs & time. It is worth the investment to work with a holistic professional who takes the entire person into account, not just the symptoms and ailments. 

​

Before getting into the cost of the consultations - we offer a sliding scale to those who may not have the funds to start this process. Just send an email letting us know you are requesting assistance - further information may be requested to prove lack of funds. 

​

It is $50 for the initial consultation and $10 of that goes towards any remedies you may receive. Moving forward (we work with people for 3 months, 6 months, 1 year & even longer) you no longer pay for time, only remedies. This consultation is an investment into your health and assures that we are able to provide you with the best care possible.
