Herbalism at Tend & Mend

Clinical herbalism is the art and science of working with plant medicine to support the body’s natural ability to heal. It includes in-depth intake, personalized formulations, and holistic recommendations tailored to each person’s physical, emotional, and energetic needs. Clinical herbalism draws from traditional wisdom, scientific research, and lived experience — offering a structured, collaborative approach to healing with herbs.

At Tend & Mend, my clinical herbalism practice is deeply relational and community-centered. It’s not just about what herbs can “fix,” but how they can support your wholeness, resilience, and reconnection to the rhythms of your own body and the land.

Currently available and pay-what-you-can pricing. Herbal formulas available for purchase separately.

My Herbal Lineage

I come from people who worked with the earth to thrive — people who turned to the plants around them for nourishment, healing, and spiritual connection. My herbal practice is not separate from that legacy; it is that legacy. Today, I live on the land of my great-great-grandparents, surrounded by the same trees, wild herbs, and ecosystems they knew. Many of the herbs I work with are lovingly harvested from this very land — grown without force, gathered with intention, and shared with care.

This is healing that remembers.

What To Expect

In working together, we’ll take our time. Herbal care at Tend & Mend is slow, intentional, and grounded in trust. You can expect:

  • A comprehensive intake session (virtual or in-person for 75-90 minutes)

  • Herbal recommendations based on your unique needs, symptoms, and constitution

  • Custom tinctures, teas, salves, or other herbal preparations

  • Guidance on incorporating plant support into your daily rhythms

  • Optional follow-ups for continued care and adjustments (45-60 minutes)

This work is not a replacement for medical care, nor will I offer diagnoses or prescriptions. Instead, I offer a supportive, complementary path — one that walks with you gently and consistently over time.

Who This Is For

Whether you’re navigating postpartum changes, chronic illness, burnout, anxiety, menstrual or hormonal shifts, or simply want to come home to yourself — this is a space for you. My care is especially attuned to the needs of parents, caregivers, birth workers, and those holding space for others, but all are welcome here.

Herbal Support Beyond the Session

In addition to personalized care, I offer a line of small-batch herbal products available in the Tend & Mend shop. These formulas are crafted to support the reproductive system through all its stages — from cycle regulation and fertility to postpartum care and womb healing. You'll also find blends created especially for birth workers and caregivers: grounding, nourishing, and energizing support for those who give deeply to others.
