How can I help?

Holistic health is caring for the whole person. It is tending to your physical, mental, spiritual, and social needs, being aware of how all these aspects affect your overall health.  

Herbal medicine, and holistic health practices in general, are based on a belief in the body's wisdom and innate ability to heal. The job of the herbalist or holistic health practitioner is to help you identify patterns of dysfunction and imbalance in your body and life, and tap into your healing potential. As a holistic herbalist, I consider all the relationships involved in creating health and balance in mind and body. With this in mind and working closely with you, a plan to access this potential and create balance is developed. The plan may involve herbal medicine and nutritional therapies, exercise, stress reduction techniques, and spiritual practices. In this way, the symptoms of your illness can be relieved, as well as the underlying cause.  

Several Extended Health Care Insurance Plans provide additional coverage for Naturopathic Care, but herbal medicine is usually not included and needs to be paid out of pocket. It’s up to each client to check their policy for coverage options.

The government is interested in regulating professions that may pose a danger to the general public – because herbalism (when practiced with care and knowledge by a trained herbalist) is generally safe and carries minimal risk of side effects, the government is not interested in regulating at this time.

As herbalists, we believe using plants for health is the birthright of every living being. To

protect every person’s access to medicinal herbs and plants, and in consultation with experts, the CCHA, and our herbalist members, the Alberta Herbalists' Association has decided against pursuing government regulation for the time being.

I specialize in reproductive health (fertility, pregnancy, perimenopause), although I am happy to work with anyone who wants a perspective and guidance when it comes to nutrition, herbs, and supplements.  

Appointments do not need to be pre-paid at the time of booking. When you are scheduling your first appointment with Fairfield Herbals, you will be required to submit a credit card number that will be used in case of no-shows. I require 24 hours notice for any cancellations. 

Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours notice will be charged to the card on file, as this time could have been used by another client and effort has gone into preparing for your appointment. 

I am happy to offer telehealth services for consults and follow-up appointments, either over the phone or with Zoom. I am happy to ship custom herbal formulations within Canada, and can arrange shipping of formulas to the United States as well. Shipping charges will apply.
