Herbal Consultations

Do you have health concerns or chronic illness and want to learn how herbs could best support you? Do you feel out of balance and are not sure where to turn? Carefully chosen individualized herbs or herbal formulas can help shift you towards feeling stronger, more balanced and more resilient in your body, mind and spirit.

In my practice I work with tinctures (alcohol extracts) glycerites (alcohol free glycerin extracts), infusions, powders, topical infused oils, flower essences, a few supplements, and dietary and lifestyle shifts.

I have specific interest and experience working with people on trans health, menstrual imbalances, sleep issues, endocrine/hormonal imbalances, diabetes, cancer, auto-immunity, mood/emotional imbalances, digestive issues, chronic pain and injury recovery. I specifically aim to provide empowering and informed herbal care to transgender and gender-non binary clients. I practice through a client-centred, trauma-informed and harm reduction lens which means that we focus on what you want support with, I meet you where you’re at in terms of your barriers and needs, and I strive to treat you with respect, non-judgment and compassion. I carefully assess potential interactions between herbs and pharmaceutical medications.

I see virtual clients across Canada. I prioritize people based in Nova Scotia and trans/non-binary clients. NOTE: I consultations are only available for people in Canada. I do not offer consultations to anyone outside of Canada. Please email me to request my referral list.

How Does it Work?

During an online 1 hour initial consultation, we will discuss in depth your health issues based on your primary concerns and goals. Following the consultation, I will send you a custom herbal protocol that generally includes 1-2 custom formulas, dietary and lifestyle recommendations.

The cost of your initial consultation includes a 30 minute follow-up consultation after about 4-6 weeks to see how the herbs are working for you so far, and to make changes if necessary.

It is important to have commitment, patience and diligence for the herbs to be most effective. Formulas need to be taken consistently and often need to be altered over time as symptoms and conditions change. I recommend follow-up consultations every 4-12 weeks to see how the herbs are working for you, and to make changes if necessary.

Please note: I am not a doctor! I neither diagnose nor directly treat diseases, rather I can make assessments of imbalances based on patterns and physiologic presentation, and support the innate healing of your body, mind and spirit. In some cases of more serious illnesses, I may require you to also be working with other health practitioners such as doctors or naturopaths.
