~ While I specialize in women’s health, I continue to work with folks of all genders.

The first consultation consists of an intake, where you tell me your story, the story of your body, your life and all the turning points and impactful moments that have shaped your path and your health. This is a holistic look at your well-being and your body – I won’t simply ask you for a history of surgeries, injuries, medications, illnesses. We will explore your journey together and as it unfolds, the path of healing will become illuminated, filled with the various plant allies that will help you along the way. I will look at your tongue (which is like a map of the body, giving us a guide to the state of your organs and tissues), feel your pulse (not to measure your heart rate, but rather to get a sense of your inner world), and then we will test the remedies.

Who are the remedies?

These are the plants. The allies. The ones who will help you open up to yourself more deeply and will enlighten your view of your health and your body, heart and mind.

INQUIRE ABOUT CONSULTATIONS

What is amazing about plant medicines is that they work with you, they support your body in finding its own sense of well-being and balance.

Testimonials

I’m so thankful and grateful to Irena from Abalone Herbals, for all of her wisdom and knowledge she has with plant-based remedies. I reached out to her after experiencing a very bad, heavy and painful menstrual cycle. Literally, once I started drinking the tea, I noticed the difference. I can also say that the tinctures work like magic! I immediately felt relieved and saw the positive impact on my following menstrual cycle after consulting her. The flow was much lighter, pain free, and a lot shorter than the previous one. If you’ve tried just about everything and still haven’t found relief. Get the relief, balance and harmony that your body needs through Irena’s expertise.

In January I contacted Irena to help me establish a care plan after my hysterectomy. Irena was extremely warm and accommodating from the first consultation. The detailed directions provided helped me prepare healing soups and teas that nourished my body and promoted healing. Irena’s intimate relationship with plants helped her find the remedy best suited for my condition. I am absolutely certain that my recovery would have taken much longer if it wasn’t for the healing herbs and remedies she prescribed.

Wow – it’s magic again!! My tooth feels better than it has in a year!
It really hurt last week, I was worried and bummed about having to go to the dentist and dealing with that. Tuesday night/Wednesday — I started with the cloves and that totally hurt at first, but also created complete numbness. Thursday is when I started all the goodies you recommended. None of these methods “hurt” and my pain began to change but it was definitely still painful. Saturday – I felt a lot better. My tooth pain was different again. This time it felt very tender – almost like it was bruised and sore from going through something rough. I used the plant techniques again and was able to eat a little food. Sunday – how crazy is this but there is TOTALLY NO PAIN. I can eat and drink whatever I want. Cold and hot liquids do not hurt at all. No tenderness. HEALED.
This was so great. Thank you for all your knowledge and help and thank you to the plants!!

– Lisa “tooth pain free”
