Consultations & Bookings
How do consultations work?
Our work together happens through sessions—or consultations—where we meet and talk about the health issues you’d like to address, and how herbs and lifestyle changes can help. This can be for a specific symptom, a chronic issue, or general wellness. Learn more about my approach to this work here.
Most sessions last 60-75 minutes; the first session is longer so I can be sure to get a full picture your situation and needs. After the initial consultation, we’ll have follow-up sessions for as long as is supportive to your well-being. For some clients, this means meeting monthly for 3-6 months, and for others we may work together for a year or longer.
In addition to the time we spend meeting, you’ll receive several hours of my support around each session through research, customized herbal and lifestyle recommendations, and detailed follow-up information sent to you. I’ll also be available to you via email between sessions to answer questions.
Most sessions take place online via Zoom; if you’re local to Charlottesville, we can also meet in person.

Intake Form
Once you’ve scheduled a session, you’ll fill out a detailed intake form, which helps me get a full picture of your health and lifestyle. I’ll review this form thoroughly before we meet, so I’ll be able to guide our conversation effectively and ask follow-up questions.
Initial Session
In our first session together, we’ll go over your health history, as well as lifestyle factors like diet, movement, stress, and sleep. We’ll get a picture of what’s been going on for you, with a focus on your main concerns. When we conclude, I’ll provide you with lifestyle recommendations and a customized herbal protocol to help support your goals.
Follow-up Sessions
Real change takes time, so these sessions allow us to deepen our work together. We’ll check in about how the latest recommendations have been going and make any needed adjustments. Sometimes new issues arise, or as certain issues resolve, other layers of work come to light. As you improve or as your situation changes, your herbal and lifestyle strategies will evolve with you.
Ongoing Support
After each session, I’ll conduct outside research as needed and provide you with updated recommendations and herbal protocols through my client platform. I’ll also be available through the platform to answer any questions as they arise.

Each session is $150, and payment is due at time of booking. This price includes the time I take to review your intake form, our session time, further research needed to best serve you, and detailed follow-up information including your protocol.
