Healing with medicinal plants, shown to be effective over thousands of years, is directed toward good health, vitality, longevity, and the alleviation of stress. I am a Western herbalist with a Master of Science degree in Herbal Medicine from the Tai Sophia Institute in Laurel, MD. My practice is based on a solid foundation in the science, theory, and direct use of botanically oriented approaches to health, informed and supported by tradition.

Contemporary scientific research has confirmed the efficacy of herbal medicine. Traditional healing arts and Western medicine use different approaches but easily complement each other. If you are taking pharmaceutical drugs, you are even more likely to need the support provided by herbs. I am trained in herb safety and how to avoid adverse herb/drug interactions.  

Why see an herbalist?

Working closely with your body’s wisdom and innate resourcefulness,

  • I can guide you in making herb choices and in better understanding herbal use;
  • I can ensure that the herbs used are of consistent quality, proportioned for your needs, and appropriate if you are also taking pharmaceutical medications;
  • Possibly the greatest benefit is that I will develop a custom formula specifically catered to your individual constitution and overall health.
An herbal consultation can be helpful if you have:
  • Recent or chronic symptoms, illnesses, or stress;
  • High demands on your energy, vitality, or well-being;
  • The desire for a healthier, more balanced life;
  • An interest in learning which herbs are best for you.
