Well-Being That Lasts
Does health feel like an elusive state that’s continually out of reach? Because I can assure you it doesn’t have to be.
Even if you’ve already gone down research rabbit holes, tried conventional treatments, cleaned out the supplement aisle at your local natural foods store, drank gallons of green juices, and tried everything you could think of to move the needle on your own—only to have your stubborn symptoms still persist or never seem to go away fully…
Even if you’ve been dealing with chronic or recurrent symptoms like:
digestive issues
high blood pressure
blood sugar imbalance
muscle and joint pain
menstrual/hormonal issues
headaches
for months or even years on end—relief is possible.
Healing is your body’s natural state, and health is your birthright.
A future without debilitating symptoms is yours to claim.
It can feel intimidating, sure.
Dedicating enough time or attention to your health on top of work, family, and everything else that needs doing is a daunting task—which is why most people never do it.
There’s so much to know (let’s face it, the human body is COMPLEX), and making life-style changes by yourself can feel alienating and downright hard.
If you just wish there was a way to commit to your healing without feeling so overwhelmed and alone in it—there is.
And it’s exactly how I’m here to help.
“My health both physically and mentally has improved drastically. I have reduced the amount of medication I am taking after only 3 months. My A1C dropped from 11 to 5.9. I don’t get tired throughout the day and my mental health is back to before. I learned a lot and have been given the tools to continue to improve my health. So thank you so very much.”
2 Ways to Work With Me:
3-Month 1:1 Intensive Container
When you’re done with temporary solutions and quick fixes and ready for wellbeing that lasts:
Nine 3-hour sessions (3 per month)
Twelve 30-minute weekly check-ins
Weekly “homework” including guided meditations, journal prompts, rituals, and dietary recommendations
Herbs and supplements included
Modalities and practices used: energetic herbalism, biodynamic craniosacral therapy, coaching, shadow integration (working with your unconscious mind), diet and nutrition consulting, intuitive movement practices, fine tuning your weekly schedule and routines
Craniosacral Therapy - Single Sessions
Anxiety, depression, pain, insomnia…bring anything to this session and watch it unwind as your nervous system relaxes and allows your body’s inherent healing ability to unfold.
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle form of body work that allows your nervous system to deeply relax so that your body’s built-in healing process can emerge.
Sessions take place in-person at The Elderberry in Charlottesville, VA, or at your home if you’re in the Charlottesville area.
Virtual Sessions available after at least one in-person session, or by request.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Your body knows how to heal itself. When given the space to do so, you’ll be amazed at how this innate healing process unfolds within you.
Headaches, heartbreak, traumatic physical or emotional experiences…bring it all to the session and allow it to transform.
These sessions are largely informed by my practice of biodynamic craniosacral therapy with additional inspiration from my training as a Reiki practitioner and my continual study of plant spirit medicine.
Yes, but…
I don’t have the time for this
Pain and discomfort are your body’s way of telling you something needs to change. If you ignore these messages or try to put temporary band-aids on them, you can develop more serious problems down the road. The longer we experience a health issue, the longer it takes to heal. You can either respond to what arises in a mindful way, or suppress your pain until you reach a breaking point.
I don’t have the money for this
When you invest in your health and well-being, you invest in your quality of life. How you feel day to day impacts everything you do. Whether it’s being there for your family, kicking ass at work, or giving back to your community—you can’t pour from an empty cup. I also offer payment plans for herbal consultations. You’ll find them on the payment page when you purchase a service.
Do herbs really work?
Oh, yes. Plant medicine is so spectacular because your body can easily recognize and assimilate it. The plants are our ancestors after all. They have been here longer than us and have evolved alongside us. While modern medicine has largely forgotten the wisdom of plants, your body still remembers it.
I’ve tried herbs before. They didn’t help at all!
The true art of herbalism is in understanding the way plants and people are all unique. A tea that works wonders for my menstrual cramps may not help you at all. When you work with a practitioner who can make a custom formula specific to your needs and constitution, it makes all the difference.
“I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate your work, especially your patience and empathy in what I was experiencing. I feel a hundred times better and all the symptoms I was having have either been resolved or improved immensely.”
— Cali A.
What you’ll come away with from our time together…
A deeper relationship with yourself and the world around you. If you google “what herbs are good for X” you will find several sources providing a list of helpful herbs for your specific condition. But how will you choose the ‘right’ herb? I formulate your herbal blends to capture your unique energy and essence. That’s how effective herbal remedies work. I choose the plants that choose you. In your synergy with your custom remedy, you’ll feel more physically, emotionally, and spiritually connected to your body—and to your new plant friends!
Holistic healing with an integrative approach. Beyond giving you a custom herbal formula, I also work with your diet, your sleep patterns, your work life, your mental and emotional states, and all the infinite qualities that make you a human being. While plants make incredible allies, no plant can sleep for you, eat for you, or create mindfulness practices for you. I help you tend to these various layers of your being so that you can create meaningful healing that lasts.
Knowing that you are capable, wise, and in charge. My goal is to not only leave you feeling better in your body, but also empowered to make informed decisions about your health. You become your own advocate. While I’m your guide and your support, your body knows what it needs best. By the end of our time together, you’ll be more attuned to the signals your body sends, and more able to respond to them knowingly and with care.
So much has shifted since we have started working together. I immediately felt supported and empowered to try out larger health changes and goals. I loved how passionate and supportive you were in helping me make the big diet changes that I needed. And the fact that you knew how it felt and had experienced it yourself made me feel inspired and seen. This was a turning point for me that felt really challenging to do by myself, but with your encouragement felt suddenly doable! Your recommendations have all been spot on and very supportive for me. The craniosacral sessions we have done together have also felt transformative and really important for me. I love that you offer that modality of healing as well.

My work is for you if:
You want to feel seen and heard. You want a practitioner who deeply listens, and who understands that your pain is real. You don’t want another prescription thrown at you without a second thought. You want a holistic healing experience.
You have a desire to incorporate plant medicine into your life. You’ve heard about herbal remedies and “natural alternatives,” and are ready to introduce them into your routine.
You’ve been struggling with health issues like anxiety, digestive troubles, insomnia, menstrual pains, and/or other mysterious symptoms you can’t explain. And you’re done struggling.
You’re committed. You’re willing to do the work required to heal and you show up for yourself. In equal measure, I will meet you where you are, hold you accountable, and give you the tools you need to form a strong connection to your body.
You believe in science and magic. Double-blind clinical trials are just as real as the magical mystery of nature. You want a practitioner who can talk anatomy, physiology, and herb-drug interactions along with chakra-balancing and plant personalities. Life is way more fun this way!
