Hello and welcome to this special corner of my website.
My approach to health and wellness is, for humans as for dogs and cats, an integrated path of herbal formulations, with dietary adjustments as indicted. While most people think of me as a canine or animal herbalist, and that is of course true, all my formal training has been related to humans, and some of it very intensive – plus I have worked casually as a home/community herbalist for humans since the mid nineties. My professional experience has been focused on canines, but I have never stopped studying and working with humans on a more informal level. And now, after several clients have asked me to work with them as well as their dog and shared with me how much the herbs helped THEM, I am finally working professionally with humans.
In a nutshell; I truly love herbal medicine, and the art of helping people to achieve their best possible health, naturally. The service I offer is long distance via email, primarily, and as with the dogs, I am experiencing great results with that method. If you would like to book an appointment, I can usually accommodate you within about a week. You will need to purchase your own herbs, but I send links to each and every item I want you to use, as well as detailed instructions and a Handout that explains herbal safety, potential interactions, duration and dosing, and more.
This consultation includes the initial time spent, including my assessment of your Intake form, correspondence on the day of our appointment, my formulation of your personalized protocol and strategy sheet, and discussion on the day I send your formulations, between two and three hours in total. In addition, I am available to connect after you have started the protocol if any questions arise, and then we book a follow-up in three months. If you feel the consult has resolved the issue you contacted me about, we don’t need to book time, but as many conditions need time to improve with herbs – the holistic way is the slow way – many clients like to book a follow-up to change the herbs or adjust dose, for example. If dietary changes are involved, that may also indicate an ongoing service, with one or more follow-ups. All follow-ups are $50.00 (Canadian) and cover one hour of time. The initial consultation service is 100.00$ (Canadian).
As with any practitioner, I have much more experience with some aspects of human health than others, and these include nervous system, kidney, liver and digestive health, cardiovascular health and disorders, urinary tract, skin and respiratory disease. I have worked with a great deal of cancer in dogs and therefore will consider a cancer case. I will only ever work with someone I feel very confident I can help. Over more than thirty years in this work I have seen, over and over, the incredible power of plant medicine, especially when chosen to address the whole person; their health history, family tendencies, dietary patterns, constitutional type (energetics) and more. An herbal consultation may also be utilized in a preventive way, with our focus going to keeping and finetuning good health, adding herbs to head off health issues that have a familial or lifestyle basis. It’s ideal to work with me before a problem arises!
