Medical herbalism uniquely brings together traditional approaches to health with

 

the latest research into physiology and medical science. As a medical herbalist I use

 

whole plant medicine in the form of tinctures, teas, powders, capsules, oils, and creams

 

to help address clients’ health concerns. Whole plant medicines are unique, as they

 

contain a wide variety of constituents which work together therapeutically, and our

 

bodies recognize them in a similar way to how we recognize food. Herbs have unique

 

abilities to strengthen the body’s own natural healing capacities and provide long-term

 

support. My practice is individually-focussed: all medicinal preparations, advice, and

 

exercises are catered to each client’s unique combination of physiological, mental-

 

emotional, and constitutional concerns. As a holistic practitioner, my ability to spend

 

up to two hours with clients means that I can help them address the root causes of their

 

health concerns and delve more deeply into the complexities of their conditions,

 

including discussions of all body systems, diet and lifestyle, mental-emotional health,

 

and energetic and constitutional patterns. Herbal medicine can assist in the healing of a

 

wide variety of medical conditions, both acute and chronic. Herbal medicine has a

 

particular affinity for long term conditions, as well as illness prevention through

 

strengthening herbs and constitutional remedies which help bring the body back into

 

balance.
