Embark on a transformative health journey with Kara through a detailed Herb Therapy Consultation. During this personalized consult, you will share your health story, and Kara will guide you on how herbs can help support your health goals. She will formulate custom herbal therapeutics (often in the form of personalized herbal teas) and recommend high-quality herbs and herbal products from reputable sources.

 

      With her expertise, Kara offers valuable insights into your current state of health, considering any medical conditions you may have been diagnosed with. She will help you understand how to optimize your body’s innate ability to heal and function at its best.

 

     Kara provides education on herbs, herbal energetics, nutritional supplements, and medications you may already be taking. She offers guidance on potential interactions, the latest research, traditional uses, and expert recommendations. Together, you will co-create a tailored daily herbal routine and receive lifestyle suggestions that align with your health objectives.

 

    Additionally, during follow-up consultations, Kara will help you understand lab results and medical testing from your healthcare providers, offering clarity on what the results mean for your health. If further evaluation is needed, she will refer you back to your doctor for additional care. She takes the time to help you understand to have a more educated discussion with your healthcare providers. 

 

     Before the consultation, you will receive a waiver via email, which outlines that Kara is acting as a consultant, clinical herbal therapist, and health educator, not as a Physician Associate (PA) or medical provider on this virtual platform.

 

     The initial consultation typically lasts around 90 minutes, followed by 30 minutes to co-create your personalized recommendations. Consultations are held virtually via Zoom, or, if you’re in the Ithaca, NY area, home visit appointments are available at an additional cost. At this time, no identifiable health records are kept on clients, but notes to guide client care are created. Kara will send all recommendations directly to your preferred email within 24 hours of the consultation.

 

    Follow-up consultations are typically scheduled 4 weeks after the initial session, with additional check-ins every 1-2 months until your health goals are achieved.

 

Understanding the Gift Economy Option

     As a mentor for healthcare providers and herbalists pursuing American Herbalist Guild accreditation, Kara’s Gift Economy Herb Therapy consultations also contribute to the training of the next generation of herbal professionals. Occasionally, 0-5 mentees may observe your session for educational purposes. Rest assured, all enrolled in the mentorship maintain strict confidentiality and do not retain any identifying information from your consultation. This is a safe space for you to share your health story directly with Kara.  After consultation, we discuss your health story and my recommendations, and their input and contributions often enhance your herbal care.

     This approach helps create better access to Herb Therapy consultations. By choosing the Gift Economy Options on the Book Now page.  You are supporting the next generation of herbal health professionals. 

​    Kara’s vision resonates with Robin Wall Kimmerer’s  The Serviceberry book and the work of Fruition Seeds. The nature of abundance fosters more abundance, creating a Gift Economy rooted in the Earth’s generosity, not human scarcity. Kara believes your gifting and receiving will help sustain this cycle.

     Herbs have gifted Kara throughout her life and health story, and she wants to share those gifts with you.  You can choose any available financial contribution, you can help spread the word by following and sharing  Kara ApotheKara on social media, you can offer a Google review,  and recommend your friends and family to see what gifts herbs offer with a Herb Therapy consultation.
