What is Herbalism and what can a Clinical Herbalist do for you?
Herbalism is the practice of utilizing the incredible complexities of plants — their chemistry, intelligence, and spirit — to work harmoniously with our bodies to achieve balance and vitality. Our bodies, equally complex, are engineered to communicate with plant medicine and to utilize it to maintain optimal health. As a clinical herbalist, it is my work to facilitate this conversation between your body systems and the plants, and to ensure that it is the most meaningful one possible. This requires that I listen carefully throughout our session for clues that might point to your body’s specific needs, and that I connect you with the plants who are most readily able to lend you their particular help. Plant medicine is a holistic modality—it requires a thorough examination of how all of the “pieces” fit together, and strives to find the source of the imbalances that may be presenting themselves as symptoms. We do not use plants in the allopathic Western model of medicine (“take this for that and that for this”) to correct symptoms, but rather, we look deeper—for the underlying causes. Plant medicine is slow medicine. It requires patience. It does not work in the same way that pharmaceutical medicine does, and this is largely because most pharmaceuticals work to quickly suppress, rather than to address. You and I will work together, with the plants, to discover how we can truly bring your body back into balance—back to its most vibrant, magical self.

Upon scheduling your appointment, you will receive an intake form to be filled out and returned two days prior to your consultation (if this form is not received within this window, you will be asked to reschedule.) During your session, you and Lissa will explore your overall health, any particular symptoms and/or area(s) of concern that you may have, and your personal goals for physical and emotional well-being. You may expect the possibility that Lissa will employ (with your permission) a number of traditional assessment techniques in order to help her better understand your overall condition (these may include pulse, tongue and facial diagnosis, basic iridology, and energetic dose testing). At the end of your session, you will discuss a general plan regarding the best way forward—you may expect to receive a detailed recommended protocol within 2-3 days. Recommended herbs and tincture will, generally, be available for pickup within 3-7 days.
