Harnessing Plant Allies for Holistic Health


Christina offers support to individuals through the use of plants as well as lifestyle suggestions to support health and feeling well. Often the body will show signs of imbalance long before there are signs of disease.

When the systems start showing these signs of imbalance and illness, plant allies can help the body gently find its way into balance. We do this in a very individualized way, moving with the needs of the client’s whole self, as well as the interaction between the plants and the environment.

Plant formulations are often in the form of tincture, teas, powders, slaves, oils, ointments and food.

A holistic approach is taken, to listen to the client’s unique story. A detailed intake, plus a physical assessment is completed on the first visit. A wellness plan is created in collaboration with the client to find suitable plant allies to join them on their journey to healing.

What to expect:

Christina starts with an intake appointment which lasts approximately 1.5-2hrs. This intake covers the chief concern and goals and any other health issues that may be interrelated, while highlighting your individual health and strengths.

We are a whole person, it’s like the ripple effect of a stone being thrown in a stagnant pond. The impact from the stone in the centre of the water will ripple thought the water towards the edges. Illness is very similar, so during your intake we hear what is happing in your body, mind, spirit and your environment as well as the interaction between all of those things.

This detailed assessment covers all of your health history both positive and negative aspects and your current state of health and wellness. A mini physical assessment is done, if we are doing the intake in person. (For distance clients or clients who cannot travel Zoom appointments are offered).

After the intake, Christina drafts something called a wellness plan, which will discuss in detail things to consider for your health and well being towards your personal health goals. She will create a herbal protocol which will include plant formulations as well as some diet, lifestyle recommendations and educational resources for consideration. This is a collaborative approach and all the information will be emailed to you.

Should you decide the wellness plan is for you, we then discuss getting the herbs to you to start the beautiful journey with plants.
