what it’s like for us to work together
Healing is part of my heritage: my mom was an artist and kitchen witch, and my dad is a medical doctor. My journey with health and wellness has brough me in and out of relationship with both modern medicine and herbalism. Over the years I’ve come to realize that neither can exist without the other. This realization is the foundation of my practice.
When we work together, my goal is to hear your full story. From there, I blend modern scientific research with centuries of herbal wisdom and application to tailor recommendations that are specific to your unique body and experience.
Here’s a map of what it would like like to work together
step one: free vibe check
Intrigued and unsure? want to find the right herbalist for you? Schedule a free, virtual 15-minute vibe check. We’ll use this session to clarify what you are looking for, how we can work together, and whether we are a good fit.
step two: initial consultation
Initial consultations are 90 mins (95 gbp). We’ll dig into your story, your goals, your budget, and I’ll ask you series of questions so that I can gain a thorough understanding of your current snapshot of health. I’ll look at your tongue (another nifty tool herbalists and other practitioners work with to understand the inner workings of the body) and we’ll schedule a 45-minute follow for 1-2 weeks after the initial consultation. We’ll also speak about your lifestyle so that I can recommend herbal options that will fit seamlessly into the way you live your life.
step three: first follow up
Between the initial consultation, and our first follow up , I’ll tailor a series of herbal and lifestyle recommendations for your specific situation. During the first follow up session (45 min, 50 gbp), we’ll review the proposal and collaborate on any additions and/or updates that need to be made so that you feel comfortable and empowered to take ownership moving forward. We’ll also discuss next steps, and a cadence that works for regular follow ups.
step four: regular check-ins
Over the next 3-6 months, we’ll check in regularly to assess the progress you are making on your herbal journey. We’ll adjust herbal and lifestyle recommendations as needed, and account for the seasons, and their impact on our bodies.
Pricing Structure and Locations
I see clients both virtually (worldwide) and in-person (for Edinburgh based folks) at Santosa Wellness Centre (starting November 1, 2024). We’ll discuss your preferences during the vibe-check. Prices are the same for virtual and in-person sessions.
initial consultation: 90 minutes @ 90 gbp
first follow up: 45 minutes @ 50 gbp
regular check-ins: 30 minutes @ 40 gbp // 45 minutes @ 50 gbp
Herbal Potions and Recommendations
When recommending herbs, I draw from two sources:
1. library of tried and tested products that are currently on the market
2. my own apothecary and hand-crafted herbal potions.
The library I’ve built includes local and ethically sourced products: capsules, tinctures, powders, and teas that are sold from various manufacturers.
My hand-crafted potions are largely glycerine based syrups, bone broths, and oils. The ingredients I use are either foraged, local and/or ethically sourced, to promote deep nourishment.
We work within your budget to ensure that plant magic is accessible, regardless of your financial situation.
