Community Herbal Care
Seeking 1:1 herbal support? Consider a care consult!
plants are mighty.
collaborating with plants has been an integral part of my own journey of healing and transformation. they are wise teachers with amazing potential impacts on the body. they work deeply throughout our entire bodies, supporting and shifting our systems to bring us deeper into balance. when we work with them over weeks, months and years, building relationship and inviting in their medicine, so much healing is possible.
If you feel called to work with plants to support your healing & transformation, I’d love to support you through 1:1 Herbal Care Consultations and/or specific, focused Covid Care sessions. Scroll down for more info and to schedule!
For 2026, I am specifically interested in supporting trans masc and nonbinary folks with endogenous estrogen dominance seeking to shift their hormonal embodiment by working with herbs that have potential masculinizing and androgenic effects.
Current focus: Supporting clients in queer/trans gender embodiment and general mental & emotional health.
Herbal Care Consultations
What do herbal care consults entail?
These are structured sessions that include an intake form, at least two sessions (one initial consult, and one follow up) and herbal protocol recommendations.
Initial consultations are offered on a sliding scale price range, and typically last two hours. During this initial meeting, we will together go over your intake form, your health history, and what kind of support you desire. This allows me to get a sense of where you are at, what kinds of things you are experiencing, and where support might be needed. Based on this, I will make recommendations for herbal, lifestyle, nutritional, and other support.
After our time together, I will plan, research, and engage in intuitive ritual before sharing a potential path forward with you. I will send recommendations over the following week. I welcome your input, suggestions, questions and feedback on all proposed care plans.
Follow up appointments (after our initial consultation and protocol recommendations) are offered on a sliding scale as well, and can last anywhere from 20 minutes to 45 minutes.
Typically, I see folks for 4-12 months or longer, having monthly or quarterly followups to check in about shifts, how things are feeling, and updating herbal recommendations.
Covid Care Sessions
COVID Care Sessions are a new offering for community that began in 2024. In these sessions, we make space to talk about COVID as it has shaped our bodies, lives and communities.
These sessions are a space to discuss both the physical health impacts of COVID, LongC and Post-C issues, as well as the emotional aspects of living in an ongoing pandemic. If welcomed, these sessions may include herbal or dietary recommendations, as well as practices and invitations for heart tending, grief tending, boundary and integrity work, balancing connection with dignity, embodying our values even under pressure, ritual to connect with the sacred, creative practice and more.
These are spaces to share what is hard about your personal covid experiences set against the backdrop of societal covid experiences with an emphatic witness. This is a space to ask questions, and work through what is feeling hard for you. This is a space to connect – with deep self, with one another, with plants and to remember that we are not in this alone.
We will meet once to get to know each other, hear some of your experience, and brainstorm possible supports for you. Then we will meet again 1-4 times (or more!) over the following months for continued support and progress updates.
This is a space where you can receive the care, listening and witnessing that you deserve in your long-covid and post-covid journey.
a note on collaborative partnerships:
It’s important to me that all care relationships are collaborative and feel supportive to both of us if we decide to move forward together. it is essential that each person is at choice with how we move forward in order to build practitioner-client relationships without hierarchy. if this sounds like something you resonate with, lets discuss working together!
