Quick Questions Consult
Service: Ask an Herbalist-Nurse a Question
Here's that 15 minute get a straight answer phone service. Leave your number in the notes area at the checkout and I'll be in touch.
These phone meetings are to assist you with questions or health issues. We'll seek the ways which you can best support yourself or a family member. Be prepared to take notes. Keep your (or loved one's) medication list available.
I get hundreds of questions a month either in person, emailed, text messaged, or left on my voicemail. If I gave the time I wanted to all of them I would quite literally have no time to keep my work going. I do my best for many and keep it concise but in stewarding well with the plants I do miss some or must demand more time for other questions to be well addressed. To be honest "brain picking' is something I gate keep diligently in myself and that which comes from others. Just not a fan of it.
So what many think are 'quick questions' are often not so quick depending on the nature of the conditions. For example, 'What can my Dad take for advanced prostrate cancer?' when Dad and son have had zero experience with herbal remedies so far in life. Can you see the injustice of a short response? Herbalists genuinely want to support people who are not feeling well. In any school of medicine, there is time needed to evaluate the situation. But there are times when a fully integrative consultation is just not necessary either. This service is for those who must connect and are seeking answers and support around a plant, a condition, or navigating the modern medical system with plants in hand.
If your situation requires more time I'll state this honestly. Many often know this as well. If your situation requires things beyond my skill, I will state this too and direct you as best I can.
Thank you for honoring our time together and for honoring the long history of herbal medicine plants walking along with us in assistance. I look forward to working with you, Jen
