My Practice

My goal as a Herbal Practitioner is to treat each person I see as an individual. In other words, one person’s health condition may look like someone else’s, but may need to be treated in an entirely different way. There are many facets to an individual and each person needs to be addressed as a unique entity. Therefore, I set up a consultation and do a thorough evaluation. Often times the condition a person comes in to see me for is only a small part of the entire picture of their health. The interview allows us to go in-depth into the individual's healthcare needs and possibly bring up other factors that may not have seemed important before in contributing to their illness. This way I can formulate tinctures, teas, etc... specifically for YOU.

I generally do not work with plants in the allopathic way. In other words, just because a plant is known to be good for headaches does not necessarily mean I am going to suggest you use it. Again, there is a whole picture to take into consideration. Certainly if there is an acute condition to consider, I may address it with a treatment that may immediately provide relief; however, I ultimately want to address your challenges in the long term - to help you to heal yourself completely.

There is also the consideration of plant ‘energy’. Sometimes I intuit that a certain plant will be good for you even if that plant isn’t necessarily for a specific condition. Whatever plants I use, they are all safe and can do no harm. I mostly work with mild western herbs that are safe and effective.

Normally, there will be an initial one hour, in-person consultation - I do not do evaluations or give suggestions over the phone. However, you can still use the mail consultation (see below)to seek information regarding your condition. Afterwards, if you agree, I will formulate some remedies for you that you can usually pick up the next day or that I can send to you. I will also most likely make nutritional suggestions to accompany your program.

The healing principle is within us and can be found in our subconscious mind. As light gets rid of darkness and heat overcomes cold, so good, positive thoughts can eliminate negative thoughts. Affirm the good and the bad will vanish.

No medical doctor, psychologist, psychiatrist, alternative therapist, holistic practitioner, religious practitioner has ever healed a person. They only dress the wounds, but NATURE heals it. All I do is create the environment for the healing energy to manifest and to do its job. In order to create this environment, I use herbs, energy and positive suggestion to elicit the subconscious mind to heal the body. Our bodies have become harbors for toxins from environmental pollutants, food additives, unhealthy lifestyles and greed. Cleansing and detoxifying the body creates an enviroment ideal for healing.

Fees: Initial Consultation: $50.00 Follow-up Consultations: $25.00 (to order see: Apothecary)

I am centrally located in the Valley Springs, CA area and house-calls can be arranged.

OUT OF AREA AND MAIL CONSULTATIONS:

Send me an e-mail(see top of page)and leave your name and address and I will send you a Holistic Confidential Consultation Questionnaire or go to APOTHECARY and purchase a Consultation Questionnaire.(Fee will be charged after Questionnaire is sent back.)

I have set up my own APOTHECARY, which contains many fresh herbs and concoctions that I have tinctured myself. Also, I offer hand-crafted Salves and Cremes and much more. I know where these herbs were grown and how they have been cultivated. This is very important in order for them to be fresh and effective.
