What is a Medical Herbalist?

A Medical Herbalist blends modern scientific knowledge with ancient wisdom to bring you the best of both worlds. I am trained to use the same diagnostic tools and techniques as your physician, including physical examinations, recognizing the signs and symptoms of disease, and test result evaluation. An initial consultation can take up to 90 minutes. Based on detailed information gathered, you will receive truly holistic recommendations designed to bring about optimal healing. Suggestions may include dietary guidance, supplement changes, lifestyle and exercise strategies, appropriate referral, and more. Although much more than someone who dispenses herbs, central to the profession is the creation of custom blends, expertly formulated to alleviate symptoms, but also to go to work on a deeper level, bringing about profound, long term improvement. Every remedy and management plan is unique and flexible, formulated around you and your specific needs.
