Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect at my first appointment?
I want to hear your story and find out what your life has been like and what it is like now. I want to know what you experience that is unpleasant or is not working for you, where you have pain, the things that do work for you. All of your experiences could be completely relevant from a Traditional Chinese or Ayurvedic perspective. If we are present with each other I will examine your tongue and feel your pulses and I will want to know what a day in your life is like step, by step. You may feel free to discuss anything you wish. Everything we discuss is held in complete confidence. We will talk about as many things as you wish but I will always focus on your primary complaint at the time of the appointment, with the secondary issues in mind.
The Experience
I am hear to listen, to observe and discover your patterns of imbalance, then to offer gentle guidance on your journey with botanical/herbal solutions, lifestyle, dietary, spiritual, mental and physical suggestions. I will recommend herbal and botanical supplements, remedies, soaks, teas, formulas, scents, etc. I am always willing to educate you about the process and I welcome the team approach to this journey.
Using the principles and disciplines of Traditional Chinese Herbal Theory and Ayurveda I identify the specific patterns of imbalance that have manifested in your life over time. These patterns of imbalance can manifest from heredity, simply living life, physical changes, accidents, addictions, injuries, emotional setback, loss, aging, spiritual or financial bankruptcy, poor lifestyle choices, and mental health issues.
Herbal therapy helps to unwind patterns that have taken years to become established and can be quite effective to get to the root of the problem rather than treating symptoms. It is a process that requires commitment and participation and clients often feel immediate and profound effects from herbs. I will employ the use of Chinese, Ayurvedic and Western Herbs in formulas or single herb applications (called Simples) to bring relief and balance.
Initially we will deal with acute matters to bring immediate relief where there is suffering and then move deeper to deal with the cause or root of the issue, correcting the energy of the imbalance and promoting a return to homeostasis, a state of vitality, joy and health. This approach helps to restore health, vigor and happiness. If you have questions about this please bring them up so we may discuss.
Will I get herbs that first day?
It depends on what your goals are. I may offer you something to help you with immediate discomfort or tell you where to get something that may help you. I may need some time to review your case and give it deep thought to arrive at the proper formula or suggestion.
Do you sell the herbs I will be taking?
You may be able to get the herbs from me or I may be able to order them for you or direct you to where you may obtain them.
How long does it take to feel better?
It depends on how well you respond to the herbs. It depends on how long it has taken the pattern to get established and how long it will take to unwind. Sometimes there is immediate relief from pain and if there are more complicated patterns present it may take longer. I will always strive to deal with your immediate discomfort while keeping in mind root issues that may be the cause of the dysfunction.
Should I stop taking my medication?
I do not recommend that anyone discontinue their medication without the knowledge and guidance of their doctor. I am happy to work with your doctor.

What about what the New York Attorney General discovered in his testing of supplements?
There are some very reputable organizations that responded to his findings with information regarding the DNA testing method.
"The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) stated today that the New York State Attorney General used an inadequate and unproven analytical method to test herbal supplement products at the core of the State's allegations that several retailers are selling adulterated and/or mislabeled herbal dietary supplements. The results of this analysis, therefore, cannot be considered valid." http://www.ahpa.org/Default.aspx?tabid=505
