Why should I see an herbalist?
Working with an herbalist offers something truly different: time, deep listening, and a whole-person approach to healing. In a world where quick fixes and rushed appointments are common, herbalism invites you to slow down, tune in, and reconnect with your body and the wisdom of the natural world.
Herbalists don't just look at symptoms—we look at patterns, root causes, and your unique constitution. We explore how your physical, emotional, energetic, and lifestyle factors are all connected. Our goal is to support your body’s innate ability to heal using plants, nutrition, and energetics as tools—not to override your body, but to work with it gently and respectfully.
When you see an herbalist, you're not just given a formula—you’re seen as a whole being. Together, we explore your sleep, digestion, energy levels, emotional state, stress patterns, and more. Then, based on your needs and preferences, I create a personalized herbal plan that may include tinctures, teas, topicals, flower essences, or lifestyle guidance.
For those who feel overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck in their healing journey, herbal support offers a grounded and compassionate path forward. Herbalism can support a wide range of concerns, including:
-
Stress, anxiety, and burnout
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Digestive health
-
Sleep issues
-
Emotional transitions and grief
-
Energy and vitality
-
Nervous system regulation
-
Complementary support alongside conventional care
In my practice, I also offer flower essence therapy and energetic work, which provide subtle but powerful support for the emotional and spiritual layers of healing. These tools are especially helpful for patterns that feel stuck or harder to name—grief that lingers, anxiety that doesn’t go away, or emotional overwhelm that shows up in the body.
Herbalism is not about quick fixes—it’s about honoring your unique story, restoring connection, and offering tools that empower you in your own healing. It’s care that listens, adjusts, and grows with you.
Well what about my horses?
Great question!
The use of Herbal Medicine with horses has been recorded as early as the 17th century in European countries and 930 B.C.E in China!
Horses are highly intuitive beings with an innate ability to seek balance and healing from their environment. In the wild, they are natural herbalists—instinctively drawn to specific plants, clays, and minerals to support their physical and emotional well-being. This act is actually a behavior known as zoopharmacognosy and is actually found in many different species of animals around the world.
In domestic life, that variety and freedom is limited. That’s where holistic support can make a powerful difference.
As a trained herbalist, flower essence practitioner, and equine bodyworker, I work with your horse as a whole being—body, mind, and spirit. Each of these healing modalities supports a different layer of your horse’s wellness. Whether your horse is dealing with emotional trauma, physical discomfort, behavioral changes, or simply needs support through seasonal transitions.
As a horse owner and someone who has competed in local barrel races and Gymkhana events I know that healing is not always linear. That is why I am here to support the animals I love the most.
What are flower essences?
Flower essences are subtle, natural remedies created from the energetic imprint of flowers, trees, and other types of plants - they do not contain any physical plant materials and are not made from essential oil or contain essential oils!
They work on a vibrational level rather than a physical one - because of this they are safe for all ages and species (especially our horses!). They also can be safely used with all allopathic, homeopathic, or herbal treatments.
Essences are made by either a sun or moonlight extraction allowing the energetic imprint to transfer to the water which is then preserved in either an alcohol or glycerin base in order to preserve the essence.
These remedies are especially effective for but are not limited to:
-
Trauma (past abuse, injury, or neglect)
-
Gate issues/buddy sourness/trailer trauma/competitive nerves
-
Anxiety, nervousness, or over-reactivity
-
Emotional shutdown or withdrawal
-
Behavioral issues rooted in fear or confusion
-
Difficulty adjusting to new environments or herd changes
-
Grief or separation
-
Training and performance-related stress
