herbal consultations
During an herbal consultation, we meet to conversationally + somatically get a shared sense of your body's current patterns + your goals/priorities.
​
This may be a move extensive dive into your health//healthy history//body patterns then you've been asked to take before.
​
Based on these patterns + goals, my knowledge of the plants + your input, I'll create an individualized plan for you with custom herbal formulas + habit suggestions//new skills to support you in getting where you want to be.
(an herbal formula = a blend of plants in tea or tincture form that you take regularly)
​
I'll also support you in tracking changes over time as you work with your body and the plants; and we'll alter our work according to how things unfold.
​
I typically meet with folks every 1-2 months. Please be aware that this work is for the long haul, especially for long-standing patterns and also... having plants on your team is usually so worth it! And yes, at the same time, you may likely notice some things shifting fairly quickly.
​​
Rates: I charge $90 for a 90-minute initial visit. The first follow-up visit is free.
Follow-ups are around 40 minutes and cost $40.
Herbs are not included in the price of consultations. See pricing for more info and sliding-scale options.
somatic experiencing
I am currently offering advanced-level Somatic Experiencing (SE) sessions as a practitioner-in-training.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a gentle, body-focused therapy that supports the nervous system to shift held patterns of stress/trauma from past or ongoing events.
Many people find that SE increases their ability to experience more embodiment, resiliency and pleasure of all kinds
SE is not a talk-therapy, it works with the body and nervous system, not a story, to create new stress-response patterns.
Often people work with SE practice in an ongoing fashion, with appointments 2-4 times per month, but some may want only a few sessions or to work as needed.
​
Rates: I offer 40-minute SE sessions for $40. See pricing for alternatives.
​

location
I am predominately meeting with folks remotely via a HIPAA-compliant online platform or via phone.
I am slowly beginning to offer in-person meetings either outdoors or in my office in downtown Montpelier in addition to remote appointments.
If you are fully vaccinated for covid-19 + feel you would be best served by an in-person meeting, mention this when scheduling.
​
This office can be accessed by stairs or elevator, and has ADA compliant/all gender restrooms. Appointment structure can be tailored to allow for breaks for any reason.
I clean the room with fragrance-free cleaning supplies, although I store herbs in the space which inherently have a fragrance. Other areas of the building are cleaned with conventional (fragranced) products.
Masks are required in the building. Inside my office, I ask that folks arrive masked to make a mutual decision weather or not we will remain masked throughout the session.
​
** This winter I am also able to offer in-person appointments in Pittsburgh, PA.**
