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 mental and emotional well-being that includes diet recommendations unique for you, lifestyle suggestions and herbal remedies. |

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.
