Herbalism & Nutrition Consultation

Holistic Wellness: Vitalism, Herbal Therapies, Nutrition & Lifestyle Practices 

Vitalist Herbalism

Did you know your body has an innate intelligence to heal itself?

Vitalism is a holistic wellness practice that focuses on removing obstacles to a person's vital life power and addresses the root causes of disease so that the body can restore balance in the tissues and ultimately heal itself. This practice supports the healing process using tools such as herbalism, flower essences, nutrition, nature cure, and other lifestyle factors to facilitate healing and rebalancing on all levels of being. Nature is the primary source of intelligence and guidance in the healing process.

​

Although it is possible to experience immediate relief of symptoms, it is important to understand that the healing process cannot be rushed, it can take time (think of how long it took for you to get where you are today), and requires commitment and patience on your behalf. In other words, symptoms provide clues that lead to the root cause of dis-ease. While you can and will see shifts in symptoms, it can take time to truly heal the root cause of certain health challenges.

​

As a vitalist practitioner, I support a person's whole state of well-being, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially, ultimately addressing the root cause of dis-ease or imbalance. My role honors nature's vital intelligence by supporting the body's natural healing abilities including in situations of acute and chronic illness.

​

Individualized Holistic Wellness

The word ‘holistic’ is often thrown about in many contexts, but in vitalist herbalism it means I look at the whole person and address the root cause of dis-ease to support the body’s innate capability to heal. I do not practice allopathy, which is a “use this for that” approach. All of us have a unique story, have different needs and because every ‘body’ is different, a blanket approach does not work for true healing to take place.

​

I create wellness protocols in our sessions that are unique to the client based on their constitution, health history, present symptoms, diagnosed conditions, tissue states, nutrient imbalances, etc. Depending on how a client is presenting to me, I will use wellness tools that best benefit the client to achieve optimal health and vitality. Examples of tools I utilize during sessions include herbal medicine, nutrition education, lifestyle practices, astrology, mindful meditations, breathing techniques, yoga asana, and energy healing.

​

Clinical Focus

My clinical focus includes supporting clients with chronic stress & anxiety, depression, digestive problems, allergies, hormone imbalance, chronic pain, migraines, sleeping disorders, PMS & menopause complaints, autoimmune conditions, Diabetes Type II & insulin resistance, and those navigating weight-loss or seeking to manage their weight.

​

Initial Consultation: Free/20 minutes*

This is the first step. All potential clients are required to schedule a free initial consultation. Let's talk about your individual needs and how I may be of service to you. We can then determine if we are the right fit for one another.

​

Intake Session: $100/hour (1.5 - 2 hours)*

We will go through your full health history including any previous or current health problems and dietary and lifestyle practices. We will set health and wellness goals and develop an integrated herbal, nutritional, and lifestyle protocol to support you in achieving those goals. My first priority in this session is to provide you with a safe place to discuss your personal story.

Sessions include:​

• Developing a personalized health & wellness protocol

• Reviewing & demystifying blood panels/bloodwork (if applicable)

• Custom herbal formulation(s)

• Educational and/or research handouts depending on your goals, symptoms and condition(s)

• Reasonable email support and accountability between sessions

• Please Note: I spend approximately 3-6+ hours on research, case preparation, formulation, and creating a customized wellness plan for you.

• We will schedule both your initial check-in and your first follow-up visit after your intake session is complete. The Initial Check-In to Dispense & Review Protocol is scheduled about a week after the initial appointment, and your first follow-up will be scheduled approximately 2-4 weeks thereafter.

​

Check-In to Dispense & Review Protocol: $40/30 min. + Cost of Herbs & Supplements (Varied Pricing)

About a week after your first appointment, we will check-in so that I can dispense and review your personalized health and wellness protocol. You will have an opportunity to ask any questions that you have before you begin your protocol. If we are meeting in person, I will dispense your herbs directly to you. Or, if we are meeting virtually, your herbs will be mailed to you prior to the check-in.

​

We will also review your herbal medicine formulas. Your herbs may come in the form of medicinal teas, herbal broth blends, herbal powders, tinctures, and/or flower essences targeted specifically to your individual constitution and for your health condition(s).

​

Your personalized health & wellness protocol will include:

• Suggested short + long-term goals to directly address your health challenges

• Customized herbal formulations based on your constitution and health conditions

• Dietary protocols, recipes & supplement suggestions

• Lifestyle therapeutics

• Flower Essence Recommendations (if applicable)

• Wellness education

• Your wellness plan & protocol will be emailed to you after our session.

​

​Please Note: Pricing of herbal formulas and supplements will vary and are in addition to the consultation cost.*

​

Check-In or Follow-Up (Existing Clients Only): $40/30 min. or $80/hour*

Your first follow-up appointment is usually scheduled within 2-4 weeks of your intake session. This 60 minute session is an opportunity to check in on your progress and discuss any questions you may have about your personalized herbal protocol. We will review your wellness goals, shifts and changes you’ve experienced in your health since our intake session or our most recent follow-up. In addition, we will discuss any new or acute needs you may have. Adjustments to your personalized health & wellness plan will be made accordingly. Check-in appointments last 30 minutes and can be used in between return appointments to discuss challenges or towards the end of your consultation package to review next steps.

• For acute needs: It’s best to schedule at least two follow-up visits after your intake session.

• For chronic needs: It’s best to schedule subsequent monthly visits as needed until you reach your ideal state of health.

My main goal as your practitioner is mirroring accountability so that we get to a point of maintenance-only sessions.​
