Herbal Healing
Herbal medicine holds a rich tapestry of remedies to nourish the body and bring us into balance. Many plant medicines are simple yet powerful, very safe, and have few side effects.
I love helping people heal using plant medicines. In addition to herbal remedies such as teas, tinctures, and oils, I make use of other modalities to complement herbal healing. I offer integrated sessions that include herbalism, massage, breathwork, guided visualization, and movement.
Available for anyone looking for support with healing. Preconception, pregnant, and postpartum clients welcome! I offer a free 30-minute initial consultation to anyone interested in my services who wants to learn more.
