How the Process Works


Deep Listening
Our clients feel that they are heard in ways they haven't felt from other practitioners.  We take the time to really understand your story.


Traditional Assessment
We invite clients to share lab results and information from other providers, but we also use traditional herbalist methods to understand your constitution and your unique pattern of health.  This assessment includes traditional pulse and tongue readings.


Personalized Plan
We collaborate with you to develop a plan for overall health that includes diet recommendations unique for you, lifestyle suggestions and herbal remedies.

Keys to Healthy Immune Function
Healthy mucous membranes
Herbs can promote healthy amounts of mucous and can reduce inflammation and irritation in the mucosa.

Immune modulation

Herbs can help modulate immune function, keeping immune activity from either spiking too high, as in allergies, or dipping too low.

Support detoxification pathways
Herbs can help to support our body's natural detoxification pathways, i.e. through the lymphatic system or liver, and this in turn can help reduce background levels of inflammation and promote clearing of foreign substances from the body.

Managing stress and sleep
A lot of people who experience allergies can relate their symptoms to high levels of stress and/or lack of adequate sleep and rest.  We help strategize ways to improve these fundamental areas with herbs and lifestyle changes.


Food and drink
Food, drink and digestion are foundational to a balanced immune system.  Our unique approach includes not just lists of foods and drinks.  We help you to identify food and drink that bring you joy, and how they can be prepared in a way to maximize nutrition with a method that works for you.

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.
