Rooted in tradition,
tailored to
your body
Chinese herbal medicine brings over 2,000 years of plant wisdom into a deeply personal form of care — each formula written for you, adjusted as you change, and chosen to work with your body rather than around it.
A living tradition with deep roots
Chinese herbal medicine has been refined and recorded for over 2,000 years. Unlike a supplement you pick off a shelf, a TCM herbal prescription is a thoughtfully composed formula — a combination of plants selected specifically for you, your constitution, and the pattern of imbalance your body is expressing right now.
What I find compelling about this medicine is how intelligent it is. The formulas don't just target a symptom in isolation — they consider how everything in your body is connected, and they shift as you shift. What you need in the first month of treatment is rarely what you need in the third.
I offer herbal medicine as both a standalone service and as a complement to acupuncture — woven into your care in whatever way makes the most sense for your body and your life.
How herbal consultations work
We Start With You, Not Your Diagnosis
Your first consultation goes deep — we talk through your full health picture, your symptoms, your history, and how you have been feeling in your body day to day. That whole picture shapes the formula. Two people with the same complaint will often receive very different prescriptions, because the root pattern is different.
Quality I Trust
I only use professional-grade herbal products that have been independently tested for purity and safety — screened for heavy metals, pesticides, and contaminants. Your formula may come as a tea, capsule, granule, or tincture, depending on what works best for your body and your daily routine.
Coordinated With Your Existing Care
I take your full medical picture seriously. Before writing any prescription, I review your current medications and supplements to make sure everything works together safely. If needed, I am happy to communicate with your other healthcare providers to support a joined-up approach to your care.
Your Formula Evolves With You
A herbal prescription is not a fixed thing. As your body responds and shifts, I adjust the formula to keep it working for where you are now. Follow-up visits are shorter and focused — we check in on what has changed, and refine as needed.
What herbal medicine may support
Herbal Consultations
Herbal formulas may be added to existing acupuncture patient treatments, or booked as a standalone consultation.
New Patient Herbal Consultation
Your first visit is unhurried. We talk through your full health history, how you have been feeling, and what you are hoping to address. From there I write a formula specifically for you and walk you through exactly what is in it and why.
Herbal Follow-Up Consultation
We check in on how you have been feeling, what has shifted, and what still needs attention. I adjust your formula based on where your body is now and what it needs next.
Herbal Check-In Consultation
A quick check-in for when things are going well and you just need a minor tweak to your existing formula — no need for a full appointment when a short conversation will do.
* All herbal formulas are sold separately. Formula costs vary depending on the prescription and format (teas, capsules, granules, or tinctures).
Safety is not negotiable
I take the responsibility of prescribing herbal medicine seriously. Everything I recommend is something I would be comfortable taking myself — and I am always transparent about what is in your formula, why it is there, and what to expect.
