What is an herbal consultation?

Herbal consultations are designed to give space to clients to discuss their health history, goals and desires in a comprehensive but low pressure way. Often the stories we need to tell about our health concerns and experiences is a big part of the medicine. Because of this, initial sessions are roughly one and a half hours long and I ask that clients complete a thorough survey about their health history beforehand. My aim in these sessions is to be a deep listener and partner in navigating your goals and concerns.

I am currently doing sessions virtually through Practice Better or Zoom, both HIPAA compliant software for client privacy. My general clinic days are on Thursday morning or on Fridays. I work on a sliding scale and also create herbal formulas tailored to clients, however if you prefer to have recommendations to make at home or source yourself I can tailor recommendations to that as well. Consultation pricing is below:

These consultations include detailed recommendations and an option to get tailor-made formulas. It's also important to say that my primary role is as an educator and partner, supporting your goals regarding your health and well-being. Herbalists neither diagnose, directly treat or cure disease, and it's important to emphasize that these consultations can't replace appropriate medical care.  I will ask all clients to sign an informed consent document detailing the roles of an herbalist prior to our intake session.

I work with clients who might be searching for support with:

• PERINATAL CARE, WITH A FOCUS ON FERTILITY, POSTPARTUM AND HIGH RISK PREGNANCY CONCERNS

• CHRONIC ILLNESS AND AUTOIMMUNE CONDITIONS (E.G. MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, FIBROMYALGIA, LONG COVID, CHRONIC FATIGUE, ETC)

• ADRENAL ISSUES FROM BURNOUT AND CHRONIC STRESS

• HORMONAL/ENDOCRINE REGULATION 

• MOOD, ANXIETY & DEPRESSION

• GUT ISSUES, SUCH AS DIGESTIVE DYSREGULATION, DYSBIOSIS, PAIN, ETC.

…and more

I am very grateful to have found Chesley during a transitional period in my MS medication switch. She has assisted me with hormonal changes, infusion support, and managing general anxiety and nervousness. Chesley's herbal support recommendations have significantly calmed my nerves and alleviated periods of chronic insomnia. Throughout our consultations, I felt truly supported. She listened attentively and made me feel comfortable discussing sometimes difficult questions about my medical history and future planning. I highly recommend her as a clinical herbalist.
