Denise Galbraith

Denise Galbraith is a clinically trained Medical Herbalist, a graduate of the Dominion Herbal College (est. 1926) Clinical Herbal Therapist program. This program is four years in duration and includes in-depth study into physiology, anatomy, pathology, differential diagnosis, nutrition, chemistry, lab test result evaluation, and much more. Having completed 500 hours of clinical practice, she is fully trained in physical examination, recognizing the signs and symptoms of disease, and thorough interviewing skills.

Central to her education is a thorough knowledge of plant medicine. Denise has studied, and continues to study, hundreds of different herbs which have been used for centuries, even thousands of years by peoples of Europe, India, Asia, and North and South America. For environmental and practical reasons, the her focus has been on Western plants; those available in this region, often found growing in our yards. In many cases, this empirical evidence on the therapeutic use of herbs has been proven in clinical studies, or is theoretically justified through pharmacological evidence.

In addition, Denise has written a thesis paper on Herbal Support in Drug Addiction and Withdrawal, attended a Cadaver Course at Bastyr University in Seattle, holds Industrial Emergency First Aid and Level-A CPR certification with St. John’s Ambulance and is a member of the Canadian Herbalist’s Association of British Columbia.
