Herbal Consultations and Custom Herbal Remedies
for women's health
Hello! I'm Veronica
I'm a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild specializing in menstrual and hormonal health, fertility, and all dis-eases impacting the female reproductive system.

My Approach to Your Wellbeing
I help you, help yourself. I believe this is the only sustainable way to truly be well. If you believe that you can return to a place of balance and equilibrium (because you can), then I'm the right herbalist for you. I do believe there is a mind-body-soul connection to whatever physical ailment we might be experiencing.
I support my clients in a variety of ways, depending on their preference and budget. I make custom herbal formula(s) with tinctured medicinal herbs or with dry herbs for teas (infusions). I also teach clients how-to:
- cook with herbs (kitchen medicine)
- make your own herbal beauty products, and / or wellness products
- chart your cycle (fertility awareness SymptoThermal method) as an invaluable life skill to have with you for the rest of your reproductive years (available to clients who purchase a package)
Between sessions, I communicate with my clients via email, voice text and video tutorials when needed so that they have my support every step of the way.
What you can expect from an herbal consultation(s)
After checkout, you'll receive a detailed health-intake form to fill out prior to our initial consultation and a link to schedule your session(s).
During our time together, you'll share your story with me (as much as you feel comfortable with!), your health history (including any current and past pharmaceuticals), your primary concern and any secondary concerns as well. Whatever you share with me is completely confidential, as it would be with any health care practitioner you choose to see.
I often ask many questions to gain clarity, and do further research if needed for complex cases. I end consultations with the magic wand question: "If you could wave a magic wand, which 3 health concerns would disappear or what would change in your health (and life) for the better?"
Then, I set off to work, creating a PDF "roadmap" just for you including herbal, dietary and lifestyle guidance, and detailed information about any custom herbal formulas I make for you. I source my herbs from an herbal dispensary with 100s of herbal tinctures, dried herbs and flower essences. Herbs are mailed out.
If you work with me for several months, then included in the PDF "roadmap" is either the 4 or 6 month support strategy, plus support from me via email, voice and/or video messaging, and how-to tutorials if needed for your herbal questions, etc.
Still curious? Here's a bit more about Veronica, RH(AHG)
Like many herbalists, my own health issues brought me to the plant world. And once I got introduced to it, I couldn't get enough.
A decision to get off of hormonal birth control and my desire to stop taking all medications changed the trajectory of my life.
When I got off of hormonal birth control, I realized I literally knew nothing about how my fertility or menstrual cycle worked. I learned everything I could about natural birth control and started charting my fertility signs using the SymptoThermal fertility awareness method. At the same time, because I also stopped taking oral and topical antibiotics for my chronic acne, I had to figure out a way to heal my skin, naturally.
I fortuitously stumbled upon a fun 3-week botanical beauty class which turned in to a serious world-view and career pivot.
I could sense that herbalism could offer me a chance to help myself, be my own hero, and ultimately help me achieve clear skin, from a root-cause approach. I was hooked!
I took a 4-year clinical training to be become a certified Western clinical herbalist, which has led me to my professional path as a Registered Herbalist.
When I first began seeing clients, almost all of my female clients were having menstrual issues. And all of them were just as illiterate about their menstrual health and fertility as I had once been. Seeing this need among my clients and knowing how beneficial and life-changing fertility awareness had been for me, I wanted to be the best teacher and mentor I could for my clients.
I took a 2-year teacher training so I could teach my clients how to chart their fertility signs to gauge their own hormonal health each cycle. This is a fun and invaluable lifeskill that I LOVE sharing with other women!
I've served as a faculty clinician, teacher and clinic advisor to the student clinicians at the Berkeley Herbal Center in Berkeley, CA.
I currently run my own women's health practice and contract with a fertility clinic to offer fertility education and herbal support as alternatives to IVF and other ART.
I love making my own herbal skincare products, mostly for fun now and as time allows, and have a 2nd edition of a Menstrual Calendar Journal available for purchase.
Please get in touch with any questions! Warmly, Veronica
