Did you know that I offer herbal consultations to other LCs and HCPs? Feeling stumped by a client with a complex health history that wants to incorporate herbs? Unsure what to safely suggest? You can make an appointment with me to review herbal options and safety. I then provide a customized report for you to share with your client. Many LCs love being able to offer their clients this specialized service!
