What is an Herbal Consultation?
An herbal consultation is an individual meeting with traditional folk herbalist, Emma Gould, who will:
​
-
Gather a detailed history of your health, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual background, dietary habits, medical procedures, treatments and medications
-
Discern and identify any present imbalances in your physical and/or emotional body
-
Create an personalized treatment protocol that is tailored to your specific needs, including individualized herbal remedies, diet, lifestyle and supplemental recommendations
Education & Empowerment
​
As I guide you in your healing journey, part of my role is to make sure that you understand how I am assessing and why I am recommending certain plants for you.
​
My goal is to assist you in building a deeper connection with your body and the plants. I will even teach you how to prepare your own remedies with the herbs I suggest for you, so that you may become inspired and empowered to take your health into your own hands.

Herbal Healing & Time
​
We live in a culture that epitomizes instant gratification. Press a button for a dinner that is warm and ready! Pop a pill to alleviate your symptoms! Swipe right to immediately fall in love! We expect tangible results as quickly as possible.
​
Herbal healing, however, does not work in such a rapid timeframe. Often these quick cures that our culture pumps out do not last long, only providing temporary relief, and may, in fact, contribute to more damage in the future. Herbalism focuses on long-term, sustainable benefits that stems from the inside - out. And like the plants it uses, it takes time to grow and bloom.
​
While herbal remedies may not work instantly, most folks see and feel results within 1-3 weeks. With consistency and following the recommendations that I outline you may see major changes in 2-3 months.
​
With most cases, I recommend 1-2 follow up visits to evaluate your progress and your response to the herbs. Healing is rarely ever linear, and often requires minor course corrections as we observe where we are heading in our healing journeys.
​
The beauty of working with me is that you will not be alone in your journey! I will guide, inform and encourage you every step of the way.
