For every ailment, there is a plant to heal it, and all of our medicine can be found in our backwoods. Herbal medicines are used to prevent and treat acute and chronic illness, ranging from support of sleep, digestion, stress management, healing from trauma, pain, spiritual sickness, as well as emotional and mental health support, immunity, detoxification, and so much more. Consultations are completely confidential, and all people are welcome through the honoring of unity in diversity. Please inquire directly to find out if herbal holistic therapies are a good fit for your needs.

Consultations involve a one-to-one initial assessment of an individual’s holistic health by looking into the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. Consultations are client-centered, with the honoring of the client as the expert in their own lives, from a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach to healing that seeks to empower the client. From the consult, a health care plan will be created, along with herbal medicines specific to meeting the client’s needs. Initial consultations are hour-long and include a written health care plan with lifestyle, dietary, and spiritual guidance, and the option to purchase medicine. Consultations are currently being offered by phone or zoom online, with free medicine pick-up on Salt Spring Island, or shipping options for clients who reside elsewhere. Investment is $100 with discounted rates offered for self-identified Indigenous people in need. Inquire directly to book an appointment.

Follow-up consultations are a half-hour long to check-in and see how the medicine is working, how the client has shifted, and to adjust the treatment plan as the client evolves on their healing journey. Investment is $50 with discounted rates offered for self-identified Indigenous people in need. Follow-up appointments are for those who have already had an initial assessment and who wish to continue working with me on a needs basis. Follow-up appointment dates are determined after the initial consultation.

Please inquire about medicine workshops that can be tailored to suit the needs of your organization, including land-based teachings, medicine-making, and Indigenous health practices. Half and full-day rates can be discussed and discounts are offered for Indigenous nations and organizations in need. Workshops can be organized and facilitated in-person or potentially online via zoom, based on availability.

I am open to collaboration and seeking to work with Elders and Medicine People from other communities, as I love to travel, am often on the road for harvesting trips, and I believe in the importance of sharing medicines and knowledge far and wide. Inquire directly to bring me into your community for the purposes of medicine work.

I am currently working on videography and community-based research that documents Elder and Traditional Knowledge stories for the purposes of cultural revitalization. If your Indigenous community or organization is interested in collaborating on projects please inquire directly.
