Herbal Consultations
Herbal medicine is a holistic practice, and foundational to the holistic perspective is that disease is rarely simply a physical issue. It is more often a complex dynamic of mental, emotional, and spiritual factors resulting from a unbalanced lifestyle. As a species we have evolved with the use of healing herbs for millions of years, and have adapted and co-evolved together with the plants. A rich heritage of traditional plant medicine resonates within each cell of our bodies. Due to this inherent resonance with plant medicine constituents and energetics, common illness and ailments respond extremely well to herbal treatments, and often results are better and longer lasting than with allopathic or over the counter medicines, and with notably less side effects.
Jessy Delleman is available for herbal consultations. Please email Jessy at jessy@ravenhillfarm dot ca or phone her at 250-652-2655 to book an appointment.
Jessy is an Herbalist specializing in herbal medicine for women’s health, and herbs for general health and well being. She has completed formal herbal studies with herbalist Betty Norton, Wild Seed School of Herbal Studies on Salt Spring Island, The School of Evolutionary Herbalism in Washington State, and is continuing her studies with herbalist/midwife Aviva Romm. She has attended extensive workshops and seminars with herbalists including Stephen Buhner, Howie Brounstein, and Margi Flint; as well as midwife Silke Akerson, and nutritionist Summer Bock. Jessy is an avid herb grower, wildcrafter, and herbal medicine maker. She believes in the power of nature to heal.
Through the use of plant medicines, such as custom tea and tincture formulas, as well as lifestyle and dietary recommendations, Jessy can help facilitate your return to a natural healthful equilibrium.
The initial consultation is 90 minutes long, visits begin with a detailed assessment of your past and current health history as well as an energetic assessment of your emotional and physical needs. This consultation fee is $80.00. *Discounts, work-trade options, and other trade-economies are available for seniors, students, and low income individuals/families.
An individually-tailored herbal medicine formula will be created for you, consisting of whole plant extracts, that will assist and support your body in repairing itself and bringing about better health and well-being. The cost of herbs and herbal formulas are separate from the initial consultation fee.
After this, clients are encouraged to follow up with appointments once a month for the first 2-3 months, then on an as-needed basis. Follow up consultations are 45 minutes long and cost $30.00.
Jessy can work together with you on your healing path to help resolve imbalances in many areas, including:
menstrual health
menopause
cysts
fibroids
prenatal care
natural birth
lactation
postpartum
anxiety
depression
digestive disorders
inflammation
skin disorders
sleep disorders
The effectiveness of a consult is determined by the depth and quality of communication between the client and herbalist and the client’s willingness to make changes in one’s life. To achieve truly deep and long lasting benefits, one must take a sincere look at the cause of the imbalance and be willing to make the necessary changes in either diet or lifestyle. Herbs can act as powerful guides to bring the body, mind and spirit into balance, but in the end the client must take the full responsibility of maintaining their own health and wellbeing.
If your situation/challenge is out of Jessy’s area of expertise she will be happy to recommend other practitioners to you whenever possible. Consultations with a Herbalist are of a nutritional and holistic nature, a Herbalist is not a medical doctor.
