About Our Collaborative Herbal Practice
The community herbal clinic at Railyard is a collaborative practice of trained herbalists – specialists in the medicine of plants and mushrooms. Though you will work one-on-one with your herbalist, we collaborate on cases regularly (maintaining anonymity and confidentiality of our clients). This means that, regardless of your herbalist, the collective experience of our whole team is brought to bear on your case. This occurs both during our regular clinical round-table meetings, and on an as-needed basis whenever a member of our team needs specific support.
