Each consultation is a collaborative and personalized experience, designed to meet your unique health goals. During our time together, I’ll ask you a lot of questions about your health history, personal experiences, and any challenges you’re facing. My process involves getting to know you as a whole person, so we can build a supportive plan tailored to your life’s rhythm and current needs together.

Prior to the first consultation, I ask for a free, 10-min phone consultation to make sure I am the right person to assist you on your healing journey. If so, I’ll supply more details during that call. If not, I’ll try to help assist in finding a more suitable herbalist for your needs.

Our first meeting is an in-depth session where we’ll discuss your health history, lifestyle, emotional well-being, and specific areas you’d like support. This session typically lasts about 1-1.5 hours and allows me to get a comprehensive view of your overall wellness. I’ll also introduce you to the role of specific herbs or practices that may help you meet your goals.

I prefer to have the initial consultation in person so we can really get to know each other, however we can do an online session using Zoom. The location of the in-person consultations will be sent once an agreement and payment is finalized, but typically takes place in Middletown, NY and surrounding areas.

Following our initial consultation, I’ll create an herbal protocol for you that may consist of herbal, nutritional, and practice recommendations. My protocols are made to be realistic and achievable, making it easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

Herb suggestions can include personalized tincture formulas and/or tea blends, and are offered at an additional cost. They can be purchased through me, recommended herb shops, or by a trusted herbalist I use for custom medicinal formulas.

Herbal healing is a process that unfolds over time. In follow-up sessions, we’ll review your progress, discuss any new developments, and adjust your plan as needed.

These sessions can also include in-depth guidance on topics such as herbal medicine making.

Follow-ups can last about 30 min or longer, depending on need.

I use sliding scale pricing for my consultations.*

Standard price: The actual cost of the consultation. If you choose a price below this tier you are receiving a discount.

• Includes initial 1.5 hr consultation with personalized recommendations is $175. This includes a 30 min phone call with you once the recommendations are ready so we can go over any questions or concerns that you may have right off the bat.

• Follow-up sessions are $75. The first one typically happens 6-8 weeks after implementing the recommendations.

Supported price: For those who are able to meet their basic needs but have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this consultation may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship.

• Initial consultation and recommendations, with 30 min phone call is $150.

• Follow-up consultations are $50.

Extra-Supported Price: This level is for those who struggle to meet basic needs and paying for a consultation is possible at this level, but still a hardship.

• Initial consultation and recommendations, with 30 min phone call is $100.

• Follow-up consultations are $25.

Pay-It-Forward Price: The extra money goes towards supporting the lower tier of the sliding scale, scholarships, and future free and low-cost consultations and classes. Essentially it's an opportunity to not only have a session but also support your fellow community members while you're at it!

• Initial consultation and recommendations, with 30 min phone call is $195.

• Follow-up consultations are $95.

If you are interested in my services and have financial difficulty, please reach out to me without shame. I am willing to provide consultations and plant medicine for a lower cost or for free, depending on the circumstances.
