Herbal and Nutritional Counseling

Herbal and Nutritional Counseling supports both acute and chronic illnesses focusing on the person’s primary health concerns as well as their underlying constitution. This emphasizes and empowers the body’s healing process in between acupuncture treatments or completely on its own. During the session, a comprehensive intake of the person’s health history and current health picture is taken. Based on this information, a herbal and nutrition plan is developed, tailored to specific needs and concerns expressed. The client leaves the session with an understanding of the plan with lifestyle counseling providing additional support on how to implement the plan. Herbal formulas can be prescribed to suit the needs of each client in the form of a tincture, powdered tea extract, or in pills/capsules. Herbal and Nutritional Counseling can be included as part of an in-person acupuncture session; it is also offered as stand-alone sessions or through virtual sessions.
