Nature is the one true healer
Along my own healing journey, it was herbal medicine that captured my heart before anything else. I had been trained in a mostly Western, allopathic model, looking first at pharmaceuticals and medical interventions in my search for a cure. But over the years, the call of the plant world grew stronger, and I opened my ears and my spirit to its messages.
I credit plant medicine with saving my life in many ways. It took me from bedbound, depressed, and in pain, to sharp, hopeful, and at ease in my body. I continue to journey with my herbal allies each day, and experiment with new ones to further expand my consciousness, my energy levels, and my zest for life. Herbs helped me get off of many prescription and OTC medications, along with a proper diet and supportive lifestyle habits.
Thanks to my own wonderful experiences with herbs, I decided to get trained in advanced herbalism, in the vitalist tradition, along with medical astrology as a tool for understanding the body and creating a proper remedy.
What is vitalism?
Maybe you’ve Googled “herbs that are good for X condition,” and were rewarded with dozens of articles and herb recommendations for your symptoms. I’m pretty sure we all have done this at some point, but this is a very conventional, allopathic way of looking at plants. The practice of vitalism instead, looks at the whole person, the vital life force, and sees herbs as tools to bring us back into holistic balance. Vitalism treats the entire human, mind, body, and spirit, taking into account the person’s unique constitution, energetics, and in my case, astrology too!
I go in-depth in my consults, to understand the patterns in your body and energy, and which herbs may be able to balance you out. As a Vitalist, I don’t believe in chasing symptoms, but using plants as a way to support a return to our natural state of wellbeing.
What is medical astrology?
One tool that I use in my herbal consults (optional, of course, if you don’t know your birth information or don’t wish to disclose it) is medical astrology. This is a very ancient form of astrology that looks at the birth chart placements in the context of the body zones, organ systems, and constitutions. This gives another layer of insight into which plants may be beneficial for you, and what some of your potential health weak spots may be.
What to expect of your consult
My herbal consults will consist of gathering information about you and any health conditions you wish to improve. We’ll explore your unique constitution and your health goals, and pull your astrological birth chart, if desired. Then, I will come up with an herbal remedy or two to support you, along with some suggestions for nutritional and energetic shifts.
I may recommend one of my herbal formulas, a commercially-available formula, and/or a custom blend from a 3rd party pharmacy. Herbs are typically available in tincture, tea, or capsule form.
A personalized PDF of your health plan and herbs is included, along with a 60-minute session with me to answer any questions you may have!
