As above

I work by completing a comprehensive and thorough holistic assessment which is an initial assessment. Depending on the client's presentation, I will choose appropriate herbs and make a herbal prescription, usually a tincture but it could be a herbal powder or a herbal tea. Our follow up is usually one month after - recommend to work with herbal medicine for at least 3 months or longer if you are experiencing a chronic health problem. I also give lifestyle and diet recommendations as these will be very important and greatly affect the outcome. I might suggest some supplements too.
