Client journeys are packaged sessions that allow us 1-2 seasons to center and clarify your goals and visions within a set timeline. Each journey includes an intake conversation, outtake conversations, and follow-up appointments.

The intake conversation (90 minutes) is a private virtual call with a clinical herbalist. During our time together, we'll talk about your health needs, goals, and visions. Rather than replicating extractive and prescriptive healthcare models, we'll gather information in multiple ways, including your bodymind's innate intelligence and the intelligenct of our plant relatives. From there we can create a care plan. Within one week of our call, after thorough research and review, I will follow up by email with customized herbal formulas, additional recommendations as requested, and schedule an outtake consultation.

The outtake conversation (20 minutes) is an optional call to discuss your care plan in more detail, includinghow to take your herbs. This builds more spaciousness into our work, and is especially helpful if you are new to herbal medicine, or have additional questions or insight to share.

The follow-up appointment (60 minutes) is for witness, practice, and tracking change. Appointments at regular intervals allow us to hone and adapt your care plan as needed. The number of follow-ups is the main difference between the Re-membrance and Regeneration journeys.

I find that through this work, folks who are open to working with herbs receive practical knowledge and tools for engaging their local and ancestral ecosystems. Rather than learning "what this plant is good for" we approach plants as our relatives and elders, and they show up in our neighborhoods, books, and dreams to support us and remind us we are part of a living earth. Herbal medicine, whether taken internally or topically, is most effective with consistency over time, often alongside other lifestyle shifts and rituals. While there may be immediate benefits to starting an herbal regimen, system-wide change can ask patience of us. It's both an art and practice.

Clients with access to wealth and consistent resourcing are encouraged to pay in full at booking, or work out a pay-it-forward plan to support mutual aid and free consultations for under-resourced community members.

To increase financial accessibility, payment plans are available for all services. Inquire about limited sliding scale spots or trades by emailing peregrine@dirtandfree.world My ongoing barter/wishlist can be found here.

Herbs can have many interactions with prescribed medications, but it doesn’t mean they won’t work together. During our time together, we'll go over the medications you are taking and why, and this can lead to a greater understanding and appreciation of how the meds are working with your body. Sometimes herbs can support unwanted side effects of medications, and sometimes herbs aren’t needed in our work together at all. Other times, we can work with herbs energetically, like with plant essences, in ways that don’t physically interact with medications but can have profound impacts on our emotional and spiritual experience.
