Herbal Medicine on Salt Spring Island

Traditional wisdom meets modern research.

Herbal remedies carry centuries of traditional wisdom alongside modern research. I use them daily in practice for everything from stress and sleep to digestive complaints and immune resilience. Each formula is tailored to your constitution, your symptoms, and your goals.

Botanical medicine is one of the oldest healing traditions in the world, and it remains one of the most effective. Plants produce complex chemical compounds that interact with human physiology in ways that isolated pharmaceutical compounds often cannot replicate. This is why herbal medicine excels at treating the whole person rather than a single symptom.

I formulate custom herbal preparations — tinctures, teas, capsules, and topical applications — based on your specific health picture. Whether used on their own or alongside conventional treatment, botanicals offer a gentle, effective path toward lasting relief. I draw from Western herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurvedic traditions to find the right plants for your situation.

Every herbal protocol is guided by both traditional knowledge and current clinical evidence. I source professional-grade botanical extracts to ensure quality, potency, and safety.
