Consultation
In Consultation we will discuss aspects of your physical and emotional past and present, and goals for the future. I will look beneath the symptoms and diagnoses to the quality of the tissue states and organ systems, your innate constitution, and external factors such as diet, lifestyle, and relationships.
After Consultation, I weave everything of meaning to you alongside patterns and pathways I observe through evaluation and your history; compiling the most influential protocol that may include diet and lifestyle adjustments based on the elemental quality they have on the body and mind, custom herbal formula(s), and alternative therapy suggestions.
The goal is to transform the landscape of imbalance within and between the organ systems, and the interface that is your life experience of being human in today’s world; taking you from a state susceptible to illness and emotional instability to vibrant vitality and genuine exchange with the people and world around you.
I use pulse and tongue diagnostics as well as the natal chart if available, to give deeper confirmation of presenting complaints as well as health history and predispositions. It is also a way to track progress and test herb compatibility. If you wish to include your natal chart please have your birth place, time (if possible, to the minute), and of course your birth date. If these things are unknown and you wish to know, I suggest looking for someone who “rectifies” natal charts. The natal chart is very helpful when there is seemingly no rhyme or reason to an ailment.. those things we sometimes get the “I don’t know what’s causing this” insight, or “there’s nothing we can do for this” help. Herbs have the power to counteract the influence that real time placements may have on your innate nature. More simply put, “To every thing there is a season” in practice.
Initial Intake Consultation $200 (2+ hours)
Acute Intake Consultation $100 (1-2 hours)
Subsequent Sessions $70 (~45 minutes)

Formulas
I mainly work with alcohol extracted herbs and flower essences, oils and salves when indicated. Loose leaf, root, and flower tea formulas if more appropriate depending on properties needed from the plants and for those who alcohol presents an issue.
Custom Formulas are for new and existing clients. If any of our local shops and apothecaries are out of a single plant you need quickly, please reach out to me and if I have any I would be happy to sell you a simple extract or dried plant.
Formula Costs
Extract
1 oz $30
2 oz $60
4 oz $110
formulas containing molasses and honey may be discounted based on ratio to the extract.
Loose herbs are priced depending on formula.
Acute/ Time sensitive cases formulation will be priority, sometimes made during session depending on how pressing the complaint. For most formulas, they will be available within a week of your session.

The Trout & The Buffalo
In memory of a dear human, late blooming Medicine Maker, Story Keeper, and Man who’s heart was so open I found my own gifts there, Tony Seifert.
Reading a specific pulse point while recalling and sharing an impactful or recurring dream (or nightmare), reveals corresponding physical and/or emotional and psychological states the dream is communicating. Sometimes if not clear what the dream means to us it can be baffling or simply forgotten. During recall, the pulse reacts to significant moments and details in the dream. Those pulse readings are indicators of what is going on in reality, in the body and mind; and can inform the remedies needed, that some part of you is seeking.
Depending on the findings, remedies will be discussed. This may be a simple custom formula, usually 3-4 herbs; flower essence blend, or in combo with herbal extract; and/or energetic and lifestyle remedies discussed. Some formulas, if clearly indicated, can be mixed during the session. For those needing deeper deciphering, formula can be picked up at a later date.
This offering can be used as a stand alone service for existing clients. If you are not an existing client and this is all you are interested in, we can include this in an Initial Consultation.
I am a Certified Western Herbalist, trained in Pulse and Tongue Diagnostics, Astrological Herbalism, Vitalism, and Flower Essences.
