Always consult your doctor or prescribing provider before starting or stopping herbs, supplements, or therapeutic movement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or living with chronic illness.
All herbs, suggestions, and practices offered here are based on traditional use, current research, and my training in clinical herbalism, trauma-informed movement, and stress physiology.
