Last year, around Valentine’s Day, I tuned in to a webinar about herbal aphrodisiacs. It was the most well attended webinar I’d ever taken! Thousands of people from across the globe were watching.

Before I chose my list, I wanted ...

Passionflower, an Herb for Sleep and More

I recently wrote a blog on one of my favorite herbs for the symptoms of anxiety: wild oats. In that blog, I mentioned trying several different calming herbs, many of which were gentle and some of which were sedating.

The sedative herbs might not get to the underlying reason for the insomnia, but they can be used while simultaneously treating the root cause. Passionflower was a “nervine” ...

Sometimes, anxiety overtakes us and our minds can’t get to our breathing techniques. When I began my study of herbs, I was fascinated by how many plants fall under the category of “nervine” (an herb to calm the ...

What is Herbal Medicine?

Although herbal medicine is making its way into the mainstream, I often get a sideways glance when I tell people I’m an herbalist. “What is herbal medicine?” many ask. Mainstream TV personalities like Dr. Oz have talked up the benefits of various herbs, prompting the sale of turmeric for joint pain and echinacea for the common cold. Many people have tried these and other remedies without knowing they were using herbal medicine. An herb is simply a plant in the ground. Most of us know the ...

I Appreciated Her Systematic Methods

I presented Adrienne with a tricky scenario, because I am on a blood thinner that interacts with literally everything I ingest. Yet I was desperately seeking a non-invasive remedy for the pain being caused by a ganglion cyst. Adrienne was definitely up for the challenge! She literally left no stone uncovered! The pain from the cyst is now almost non-existent.

My migraines ceased almost immediately

I began working with Adrienne when my hormonal migraines came back a few years after the birth of my son. She is so thorough and compassionate and working with her was as therapeutic as the herbs themselves!

It was such an incredible relief and I am so grateful for Adrienne’s care and follow-up support as well.

My Symptoms Are Much Improved

I found Adrienne very knowledgeable and professional during our session, and I appreciated her thorough follow-ups. I have suffered from sinus congestion and seasonal allergies for years.

Adrienne Provided Me a Proactive Preventative Plan

Over the past few years, I’ve experienced increased sinus and allergy issues. Unfortunately, OTC remedies have become less effective for me. When I met with Adrienne, her intake questions were extremely detailed, and she was able to identify a few additional areas where herbs would be beneficial.
