Where will our sessions take place? 

Herbal consultations: Virtually, or, if you are in the Charlottesville, VA area, in-person at The Elderberry.

Craniosacral Therapy: In-person sessions take place in Charlottesville, VA at The Elderberry. If you’re in the Charlottesville area, I can come to your home (add $10 travel fee). If the weather is nice, I sometimes offer sessions outside.

What can I expect during a craniosacral therapy session?

First, we will discuss what you need from me so that you feel as safe and comfortable as possible throughout the session. Then, I take a moment to get grounded and begin. 

If you are comfortable, I will very lightly touch various areas on the front and back of your body as well as your head. If you do not want touch, I can hover my hands above your body, or not have my hands near you at all.

The most common feeling that clients report is a sense of relaxation and calm. Apart from that, everyone’s experience is different. Some people feel a lot of energetic shifts during the session, while others may not experience this until days later. Some people feel tactile sensations (heat, cold, tingling, wind, energy moving through the body, etc.), some people have visual experiences, some auditory.

I trust that whatever experiences take place during the session are a reflection of your body’s intelligence and that your body will not give you any more than you can handle.

Do herbs really work?

Oh, yes. Plant medicine is so spectacular because our bodies can easily recognize and assimilate it. The plants are our ancestors after all. They have been here longer than us and have evolved alongside us. Modern medicine has largely forgotten the wisdom of plants, but our bodies have not.

I’ve tried herbs before. They didn’t help at all!

The true art behind herbalism is in understanding the way plants and people are all unique. A tea that works wonders for my menstrual cramps may not help you at all. Working with a practitioner who knows plants energetically to make a custom formula specific to your needs and constitution makes all the difference.

What if I need to cancel/reschedule my appointment?   

Herbal Consultations: 

• If you’re a first-time client, you’ll pay a partially-refundable deposit when you book your appointment. If you cancel with at least 24 hours notice, you’ll be fully refunded.

• Returning clients pay once the session is complete. If something comes up, no worries. Life happens, and if we have a rapport I’m not interested in charging you for a session you don’t receive.
