Herbal Consultations
Is an Herbal Consultation right for you?
When our customers need more time and attention in dealing with issues related to health and well-being, we offer one-on-one herbal consultations. These sessions include an exploration of one’s health history, education about healthy diet and lifestyle choices, and information on the traditional uses of herbs to support health.
In taking you on as a client, we are agreeing to take the time to read, research, and consult with other herbalists in order to ensure that you receive the most relevant and helpful information related to your individual health picture. We will work together with you towards your health goals on your own terms, supporting your journey with the utmost respect and commitment.
We encourage our clients to take responsibility for their own health, and our goal is to serve as a resource for those doing so. We love teaching, and use our consultations as opportunities to impart what we have learned (and continue to learn!) about herbs and health.
Herbal consultations start at $100 per session (this includes gratuity), with $40 check-ins for already existing clients.

Initial Consultation
Before your consultation, you will receive an intake form to fill out so we can prepare for the session and utilize our time together most efficiently. Your first appointment will be 60 - 90 minutes during which time we will go through your full history including any previous or current health concerns as well as dietary/nutritional and lifestyle practices. During this time we will set health and wellness goals, and develop an integrated herbal, nutritional, and lifestyle protocol to support you in achieving those goals. After the consultation you will receive written guidance, via email, regarding any nutritional, lifestyle, and herbal suggestions discussed.
Ongoing Support Appointments
If we feel the need to schedule a check-in, it is usually scheduled within 1-2 months of your first consultation. These sessions provide an opportunity for us to check in on your progress and discuss any questions you may have about your personalized herbal protocol. Check-ins are 30 minute sessions and $40.
Cancellation Policy
We require a 24 hour cancellation notice unless there are extenuating circumstances. If we are not notified 24 hours in advance, this will count as a visit. We recognize that everyone’s time and energy is precious and hope that you will too.
Herbs
Please note that suggested herbs and supplements are not included in the cost of the consultation. You are welcome to buy herbs from A Thousand Leaves . Alternately we are happy to supply you with the suggested formula(s) for you to obtain elsewhere.
