HEDGEROW HERB CO.
HERBAL CONSULTATIONS
Our belief is that the role of the herbalist is to exist in a web of community care, offering a supportive and empowering environment around herbal remedies and their capacity to support the body’s already existing wholeness and wise healing pathways.
When you book your consultation, you can expect a demystifying, connective, and welcoming sit for tea or virtual call with Madrone. During your initial consultation, we will have an in depth conversation about your present state of health, your lifestyle, and what you are seeking with your custom herbal formulas. From there, Madrone will craft a customized plan for you containing three remedies, the cost of which are included in your initial consultation, along with detailed notes from your session.
Working with Madrone
Madrone takes the entire person into account when consulting folks on any issue regarding their health - the state of the physical body and the individual’s spiritual wellbeing alike. Her in depth understanding of the plants that she works with comes from a combination of formal training, self study, and direct communication with the plants themselves. Madrone draws influence from eastern systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chineses Medicine, nearly flawless systems of mapping the bodies relationship to the elements that make us, while focusing her application of herbal remedies on western and PNW native plants. She is of the mind that our bodies are always looking to follow the path of least resistance and her job as a folk herbalist is to support you in allowing the body to easily find balance. She relies heavily on gentle herbs, time-tested herbal preparations, and the belief that a well person is one that is resilient on all levels of the body.
A consultation with Madrone will be most supportive to you if you:
+ are experiencing burn out, fatigue, anxiety, regular colds, liver stagnation, gut issues, or menstrual discomfort.
+ would like to learn more about living in alignment with your hormonal (menstrual) cycle.
+ have an openness to plants as whole beings unto themselves.
+ are oriented towards living a balanced lifestyle, building the body’s natural resilience.
+wish to learn more about how plant remedies can be woven into your daily life.
+ have a medicine making practice, enjoy using herbal remedies, and/or are knowledgeable about plant remedies but would like support in honing your focus to meet your specific needs.
A consultation with Madrone will not satisfy you if you:
+ want to use herbs to treat or cure a complex health diagnosis without the support of other trained practitioners.
+ are interested in working with very strong herbs that elicit a quick and dramatic response from the body.
+ are too busy or unwilling to make the herbal preparations suggested to you (teas, infusions, decoctions) or take your tinctures.
+ believe that plant remedies are a one-to-one replacement for pharmaceuticals and OTC drugs.
You will receive an intake form to your email up to 48 hours after booking your session. Please complete this form at least 24 hours before your appointment.
The cost of your appointment includes one (1) hour long consultation with tea served, as well as 4 week supply of three remedies and detailed notes from our session.
We recommend booking at least one, but ideally two follow up sessions in the following two months. This will give us a chance to tweak your remedies and find the perfect formulations and support your body's ever changing needs. These can be booked after your initial session.
