Student Herbal Medicine Clinic
Individualized care. Shared learning. Experienced supervision.
We’re excited to introduce our monthly Student Herbal Medicine Clinic at Dancing Willow Wellness.
This year, our student clinic is held at Sugar Bones Farm in North Gower.
This is an opportunity to receive individualized herbal medicine care in a supportive, supervised clinical setting, while also making herbal medicine more accessible. Appointments are provided by advanced herbal medicine students who are now completing their supervised clinical internship to become Registered Herbalists through the Ontario Herbalists Association.
All students are supervised by Registered Herbalist Rebecca Graves, who will be present throughout the appointment process, providing guidance and oversight.
Why book at Student Clinic Appointment
For clients, the Student Clinic is an opportunity to explore herbal medicine at a reduced rate.
Maybe you’ve been curious about herbal medicine but haven’t tried it before. Maybe you have a health concern you’d like to explore from a herbal perspective. Or perhaps you simply want to learn more about how herbal medicine can fit into your overall approach to health.
Student Clinic appointments are available at a reduced rate.
Cost: Appointment $25 + herbal remedies ($20 - $30 per remedy) + HST
Please note: This year, our student clinic is held at Sugar Bones Farm in North Gower
Who is the Student Clinic for?
Some typical health concerns might include:
Digestive and gastrointestinal concerns | Stress and anxiety | Sleep issues | Skin issue
Fatigue and low energy | Women's health concerns | Immune and respiratory support
Urinary tract health | General health and wellbeing | And more
What does a Student Clinic appointment look like?
This is a little different from a typical herbal medicine appointment. A student will be assigned as your lead herbalist for your appointment, while the other students will be present to observe the appointment.
You will be asked for your consent to have the student group present, and you can request privacy during any part of the appointment if you prefer.
Your health information is treated confidentially and handled in accordance with PHIPA regulations.
Experienced herbalist Rebecca Graves is present throughout the appointment and reviews assessment and treatment recommendations.
What can you expect?
Your appointment begins with a thorough conversation about your health and your goals. Your lead student herbalist will ask about your current concerns, health history, medications and supplements, lifestyle, and other factors that may be relevant to your health.
Your appointment may also include physical assessment, such as taking vital signs, observing physical signs, or listening to the heart and lungs, when appropriate to your concerns.
From there, the students will work together to consider your health picture and develop individualized herbal medicine recommendations.
Your care may include recommendations for:
-
Herbal teas, tinctures, or other herbal preparations
-
Herbs to support specific symptoms or health concerns
-
Nutrition and lifestyle approaches
-
Follow-up care and monitoring
-
Further assessment or referral when appropriate
Who are the students?
The students in our clinic are advanced herbal medicine students who have completed the majority of their training. They are gaining supervised clinical hours to become Registered Herbalists through the Ontario Herbalists Association (OHA).
The clinic gives them an opportunity to apply their training in a real clinical setting, while giving clients access to individualized herbal medicine care at a reduced rate. We have a maximum of six students enrolled in the clinic program.
