Thanks for your desire to journey with me towards greater wellbeing.

I'm currently on leave until October 2026.

 

In the meantime, you can follow my podcast 'The Elder Tree'

(which will continue with monthly episodes due to pre-recording!).

You can join my mailing list

(which will alert you to when I open my clinic doors and my training programs again.)

Health with Herbs

Herbalism + Embodied Healing 

I work with whole patterns, not symptoms.

In our sessions together we will explore the physical, emotional, behavioural and relational patterns that shape your life and your health.

I combine careful health assessment, vitalist herbal medicine, embodied practice, animist plant connection and practical changes in daily life to understand what is happening in your system and create opportunities for new patterns of physical and emotional function to emerge.
The aim isn't simply to manage symptoms so you can keep on trucking just as you have been. The aim is to understand the patterns beneath your symptoms and support your mind, body and life to move away from being stuck in reactive cycles towards becoming more flexible and responsive to life. 

From this place, something new becomes possible.

A new experience of life is possible. Your bodily systems, your emotions, your life and the living world are not separate: they are interconnected systems of Life that feed into each other. New possibilities arise when we look for patterns that repeat across them, and experiment with simple practices and plants that can unlock different patterns.

Herbalism + Embodied Healing

6 Week Package - 3 Consultations

Unlock the power of plant medicine, systems thinking and animist plant connection.

You are a unique individual with your own history, constitution, circumstances and ways of responding to life.

Rather than treating each symptom in isolation, we look for the patterns connecting your physical health, nervous system, emotions, habits, relationships and environment.

Together we develop a working picture of what may be keeping you stuck — and then use your response to herbs, practices and changes in daily life to keep refining that picture.

What you get:

  • 3 fortnightly online consultations over a 6 week period.
  • A personalised herbal and lifestyle plan, shaped by your constitution, circumstances and response over time.
  • Herbal formula to address the underlying pattern, plus single herb tincture to work with as a living Plant Ally (medicines come at an extra cost).
  • Optional recordings of all sessions + practices.

Herbalism + Embodied Healing

3 Month Package - 8 Consultations

Change becomes possible when we understand the pattern you're actually living in, and have the time to unlock the right leverage points.

Your body and mind are intelligent living systems that have adapted in response experiences and challenges as best as possible. These patterns of response, however, can become stuck and show up as repeating reactivity loops in your physical body (anywhere from immune system to nervous system to hormonal system), your thought patterns and emotions, and even in your life choices and daily habits. 

 These reactivity patterns can really begin to change when we understand the underlying logic and then have enough time to experiment with leverage points, observe what happens when we invite change, and adjust our approach as new information comes to light.

This is why I offer a full season (three months) of partnership.

Over three months, we build a picture of what is happening in your system and develop some initial ideas about what may be keeping you stuck. We then work with these through herbal medicine, Plant Ally work, embodied practices and practical changes to daily life.

Your response to herbs becomes part of the assessment.

We pay attention to what changes — and what doesn't — and use that information to refine our understanding and the work itself.

There is no fixed treatment plan to follow from beginning to end. As your system responds, we may change the herbal prescription, explore a different plant relationship, introduce a new practice, or revisit an earlier assumption.

The aim is not simply to manage symptoms for three months, but to understand your particular patterns deeply enough that meaningful change becomes possible, and for that change to persist after you stop working with me, and stop taking the herbs. 

What you get:

  • 8 fortnightly online sessions.
  • A personalised herbal and lifestyle plan, shaped by your constitution, circumstances and response over time.
  • Herbal formula to address the underlying pattern, plus single herb tincture to work with as a living Plant Ally (medicines come at an extra cost).
  • At least two revisions of the herbal medicine protocol.
  • Optional recordings of all sessions + practices.

Healing comes from a deep listening, a kind of listening that reconnects us with our bodies, the depths of our heart’s wild longings, and our ever-present entanglement with the living world. I bring this kind of listening to my consultations, and I support you to remember how to listen with your bones to your own body and the plants around you.

The medicine is not the complex mixture in a brown bottle that I concoct for you. The medicine is in the rekindled relationship with plants and the living world, in a new depth of presence that you bring to yourself and your life.

I used to offer single consultations, but the truth is that a single session isn’t enough to peel back the layers, create shifts in fundamental patterns, or to truly discover which herbs will support a unique person with their challenges.

Now I offer consultations in a pack of three, over a 6 week period. Just long enough to support new skills, new habits and new perspectives to take root in your inner garden.

Didn’t like your first session? That’s fine! 100% money back guarantee after our first session.

Strong synergy between a herbal healer and the client is vital for the kind of transformational processes that I’m interested in, and I know you are too. Sometimes we just don’t ‘click’ and that’s fine. No hard feelings! Time is precious, so let’s part ways lovingly and invest our time in something that feels right.

FAQs

Who is this for?
If you struggle with feeling good in your body and your mind, with low or anxious moods, fatigue, recurring illness or chronic pain; If you heart longs for deeper connection to something wild and sacred; If you enjoy taking the time to find the right changes and subtle shifts that will have long-lasting, transformative effects; If you are ready to commit to a process of change and truly show up to do the work with me; Then this is for you.
What kinds of issues can you help with?
I love working with mental health/ mood issues, sleep and stress. Immune dysfunction and chronic skin conditions are also areas I have had multiple successes with. Ultimately, however, if you are ready to find new ways to relate to your body, your life and the living world, and move towards flexibility and responsiveness in body and mind, then I am your person! I’m also passionate about psychedelic integration - helping you to embed your shifts and changes into your body and heart. My psychedelic integration work focuses on supporting you to find gentle herbal medicines to be your allies to support your mood, mind and body as you live in a new way, and encouraging the deeper sense of sacred relationship with the living world that is often awakened by psychedelic journeys.
Where are the sessions located?
I currently offer sessions online via Google Meet.
What happens in my first session?
### What happens in our second and third sessions? The following sessions are where we begin to see what happens when you actually work with the changes we've identified. We'll explore what you've noticed in your body, mood, behaviour and daily life, and pay close attention to your response to the herbs and practices you've been given. Sometimes this confirms our initial understanding. Sometimes something unexpected emerges — and that is useful information too. We may refine the herbal prescription, explore a Plant Ally more deeply, introduce an embodied practice, or identify a change in your daily life that will allow a new pattern to develop. The aim is not simply to follow a fixed treatment plan, but to become increasingly responsive to what your particular system is showing us.
What happens in our second and third sessions?
The next two sessions consist of exploring what you have discovered in your daily reflections, and getting to know a handful of plant medicines that I believe will be deeply supportive for your underlying patterns of dysfunction. Together our goal is to empower you with greater insight into how your daily habits and food choices affect your state of health and wellbeing, and introduce you to at least one powerful herbal ally that matches your struggles closely. So equipped, you will be able to move forward and continue with the healing you need.
Will I need more sessions?
Maybe. It depends on your preferences, your commitment to doing the work, and how complex your challenges are.
Can I contact you outside of our sessions?
During the 6 weeks we are working together, you can contact me anytime via whatsapp, and I will respond within 24 hours, except on Sundays.
What if I don’t like the approach?
I offer a 100% money back guarantee after the first session. If it isn’t for you, then I totally respect that. Let’s invest each of our time and resources somewhere else where they can truly be of service.
I’m a student of herbal medicine, can you mentor me?
I would love to! If you want support to deepen your relationship with the plant world, and learn to listen and know plants beyond their chemical constituents and what illness they are ‘good for’, then I’m the right teacher for you. Sign up for a coaching plan, and we can take it from there.
