potion for your problem
this is for you if you are:
​
- navigating a lot right now
- seeking a little extra support
+ have always wanted your own herbal potion
my goal is to have you leave with:
​
a taste of how herbs + somatic practice can feel
a little support + ease with all you are trying to hold
a delicious potion, custom-made for you + your scenario
a sense of some completely different possibilities that were there the whole time
the details:
We'll have one, 40-minute meeting to:
explore what's behind the need for a potion currently
identify intentions
check-in with the body/nervous system
​
Then you'll receive one, 1-ounce potion a few days later!
about me
i'm james- I use herbs + somatics to help tired queers build capacity so they can show up they way they want to for the things they care about. Why? I think we have a lot of gifts to bring into this world + believe things can be more collectively possible when we are more dropped into our selves + bodies . Also, I'm just a nerd who just gets pleasure from studying + making special little things for people.
​
It's been ten years since I first started to formally study plants + work with people clinically, and am continually in awe of how they continue to show up for humans + our (sometimes ridiculous/often complex) problems and open up possibilities that were there the whole time.
​
In addition to extensive formal herbal + somatic training I draw upon experiences struggling with a debilitating chronic neurological condition + the heart-breaking relational effects of past trauma WHILE trying to live in ways that challenge dominant culture and stay in alignment with things I care about.

FAQ
if you don't see your answer here, get in touch
wtf do you mean by potion?
i'm using that word to describe any number of types of herbal preparations, blended together with a little magic + intention: think tea blend, tincture blend, oil blend, etc
what if im already at capacity and don't have it in me to add another daily thing right now?
sometimes just getting the chance to have another set of eyes on something + put some intention into it is half the medicine and also-
potions aren't a chore!! – it is made to be taken for pleasure + when you are curious about it. you could even just see what happens when you keep it in your pocket/under your pillow, whatever!
how big can the problem be?
any size! including huge. AND because this is a one-time session, we'll just focus on a manageable-sized piece of it where we think you can get a little traction/shift
is this for body problems?
It's actually for any kind of problem so- Sure! And- it's not going to be as detailed as a full herbal consultation, so think somewhere between full consult and talking to someone working at an herb store.
how woo is this?
hard medium!  I'm using herbs here on both physical and energetic levels :)
is the potion included or is it extra charge?
its included (unlike an herbal consult)
