Herbal Consultations
I see clients as a clinical herbalist through the professional clinic at Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism, in Plainfield, Vermont.
My practice is oriented around mental health support and trauma resilience, weaving herbal medicine, Somatic Experiencing, ecopsychology, social neuroscience, traditional healing systems, and a deep commitment to anti-oppressive and liberatory healing for all beings.
Consultations and herbs are available on an income-based sliding scale, and gifts of no-cost services are always available. More information about my practice philosophy and what to expect during a consultation can be found here.
I see clients five days a week during regular business hours. Currently, I am not accepting new clients for herbal consultations. Existing clients can schedule an appointment here.
Somatic Experiencing Sessions
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a trauma-resolution modality developed by Peter Levine, PhD over the past few decades that can be supportive for folks interested in working with stress and trauma from a body-based perspective.
My approach to SE emphasizes the importance of seeing ourselves as embedded in nested and networked systems of both challenge and support, from interpersonal relationships, to social systems, to local and global ecologies. I am invested in not only individual healing, but in intergenerational, cultural, and ecological transformation of trauma that creates conditions for widespread liberation for all.
You can learn more about SE and my particular approach here and inquire about working with me by contacting me directly. I offer sessions on a sliding-scale and mostly via Zoom, though some outdoor sessions can be arranged in warm weather.
I am currently accepting a limited number of new clients for SE sessions.
Client Feedback:
“I just want to say that my meeting with you was the single most comfortable and caring health ‘care’ appointment of my life! Thank you!” ~ AA, Burlington
“The tea that you gave me along with the tincture, have been really life changing for me… After the first month of taking the herbs and tincture, I felt a level of energy that I don’t know if I have ever had. I also felt really consistently happy. My stools hardened up and started to become more consistent, and I was having an easier time feeling hungry and putting [food] down without the heavy uncomfortable feelings of poor digestion.
I have likened it to a pot hole in the road, before I had this tea I would be hitting pot holes all day every day, but they were so deep sometimes I would just get flat out stuck… With the tea I felt like someone came and graded the road, I started waiting for the next pothole, but day after day went by and no pot holes came about!” ~ RR, Montpelier
