New patient special 💜💜💜

This isn’t a ‘new year, new me’ type situation. Instead it’s an opportunity to get some accessible healthcare. Sometimes the initial consult fee - that is more expensive due to the longer length of the appointment can be a barrier for some to start on a health journey.

Or sometimes we all just need that little push to start. Start making changes, exploring our health and defining our goals and what ‘good health’ feels like for us.

Maybe this is that little opportunity for you 🌼

I’m also celebrating my new permanent clinic space at one day per week! So excited to be in this space ongoing, being able to see folks both online and in person in a beautiful, peaceful space full of light and good vibes.

Open to anyone, feel free to share with folks in your community.

So lovely to be on the .elder.tree pod again, this time chatting to about de-commodifying herbs.

Me and Cara have had so many conversations about this over the past year since landing here at Hop Valley. Respecting the plants and the earth, divesting from capitalism and moving from extraction towards being woven into the web of life, a part of the ecosystem.

Give it a listen and let us know what you think, we’d love to continue the conversation 🌻

When we charge for herbs, we’ve been playing with the idea of, instead of charging for the plants as a commodity - charging for the labour it takes us to get them to the person who needs them. This feels like a nice frame, getting paid for our labour rather than putting a price on a living being.

Do you see plants as beings? As sentient?

After a year of transition, I celebrated my last day at Goulds Natural Medicine last week - made very fun and joyful by my amazing work mates. I’ve met the most amazing folks through working at Goulds the past 8 and a half years… and I’m certainly not going anywhere. I’ll still be around the traps, maybe popping up for the odd shift every now and again.

But for now I’m so excited to be committing myself full time to my own clinic and our farm . I’ll be opening up in-person consults again (finally! I’m so excited) in Launceston in the coming weeks. So if you need some care, come and have a cuppa with me and talk health and herbs.

I’ve learnt so much working for Goulds, and the mentors and friends I take with me are priceless. But I’m so exciting to be continuing to build what I’ve dreamed of since I was a baby student Naturopath, with my love 💗

Had a beautiful weekend at the .est1920 Naturopathic Symposium. The only photos I got (which I didn’t even take) were of our 7am pre conference w**d walk in the Sydney C*D. This was with our Environment and Sustainability working group (the raddest group of herbalists). Later that day we presented a panel opening the conversation about sustainability in prescribing. It was a great session and filled my heart up with all the care and love Naturopaths and Herbalists have for our medicine.

I also shared a presentation on Saturday on Sliding scales and accessible Naturopathic care which most folks who know me know is VERY close to my heart. It was super well received and I had so many practitioners chat to me over the weekend about implementing sliding scales or other more accessible models of care. VERY cool.

Lots of really nice catch ups with very cool humans doing great things for our profession… and so many more.

It’s so inspiring getting to have this touch point with your peers, mentors and elders. Feeling very proud to be a Naturopath and excited for some of the new directions I can see our profession growing. 🌱
