Herbal Consultations

The Florida School of Holistic Living community herbal consultations provide space for exploring holistic health in confidential, individualized sessions with trained herbalists and students-in-training. We offer support for those seeking more energy, better sleep, focus, vitality, and a healthier quality of life. This opportunity is for you if you need insight into particular health needs and how herbalism can support your body.

Our next Community Herbalist Consultations will begin in Spring 2025. You can join our waiting list to be notified of upcoming openings.

When is an herbal consultation right for you?
Anyone with a desire to:
• Sleep better
• Decrease stress and anxiety
• Lose weight
• Shift away from negative side effects of modern treatments
• Promote healthier skin, hair, and nails

How It Works

Initial consultations include a thorough review of your personal health history and current lifestyle. The goal is to get to know YOU in a holistic approach. You will receive our holistic health assessment addressing the root of imbalances, rather than just symptoms, and recommendations for a personalized herbal formula and wellness plan. This may include a number of herbal remedies, plant extracts, and alternative modalities. From your first visit, you will take home guidance for integrating nourishing herbal and lifestyle techniques to bring your health back into harmony. Then, we’ll follow up with a call to provide a comprehensive plan. 

Note: We do NOT dispense herbs or supplements directly. We provide referrals and resources for affordable and verified suggested remedies.

Follow-up appointments are encouraged for continuing support as you journey toward optimum health. These are scheduled at mutually determined intervals.

WHO WE ARE
Professional herbalists and herbalists-in-training who provide a unique and dynamic team wellness experience. Our professional herbalists have decades of combined experience, and references are available upon request. Because we are not medical doctors, we do not treat, cure, diagnose, provide therapy, or prescribe under the law. However, we do educate you on the historic and modern uses of herbs and provide you with support and guidance through these personalized consultations. We also provide guidance on how to conduct your own research and make informed choices for your personal health.

Our practitioners offer individual and personalized education in herbal self-care. Florida School of Holistic Living is a collaborative teaching practice, meaning that clients may meet with one or more herbalists-in-training shadowing under professional herbalists, and benefit from their collective knowledge and care. Consultations are offered for free with donations accepted to help continue funding for the program.

Please note:
Each initial appointment lasts 90 minutes, with an additional 15-30 minute follow-up call one week later. Appointments are confidential and take place virtually via secure video link. One client is scheduled per session; we cannot combine visits for multiple clients into one appointment slot.
