Meet Heather
I’m a registered clinical herbalist, women’s herbal educator, and retired Certified Professional Midwife with a deep passion for helping women understand and support their bodies naturally.
After years attending births and caring for women through pregnancy, postpartum, and reproductive transitions, I saw how many women felt disconnected from their bodies and unsupported in their health concerns.
My work combines:
traditional herbal wisdom
modern physiology
body literacy education
personalized care
…to help women feel informed, nourished, and empowered in their health.
Cycle & Hormone Concerns
... teaching you to read your body's signs so you can experience healthy, pain-free periods and know when you're fertile
… helping you transition off hormonal birth control so your body can speak to you again instead of being suppressed
… improving your quality of life and vitality with nutrition and full-body support despite PMOS or endometriosis
Fertility & Preconception
... educating you how to understand your cycle before you try to force it
… teaching you ways to improve your egg health and ovulation to combat symptoms of low progesterone and optimize your fertility
Pregnancy Support
… giving gentle, evidence-informed herbal and lifestyle support for pregnancy — with safety, discernment, and nourishment at the center
Postpartum Recovery
… providing postpartum support that sees the mother — not just the baby
... nurturing your physical, emotional, and hormonal transition into motherhood
... empowering you to choose and use safe, accessible, affordable natural remedies to care for your children
Perimenopause
… helping you understand the transition before it steals your confidence
... coaching you through the menopausal transition and educating you on alternatives to hormone replacement therapy that really work
… assisting you to find balance in your body and in your life – through nutrition, sleep, stress management, movement, creativity, and spirituality
You are in the right place if you are…
exhausted, burnt out, or hormonally overwhelmed
struggling with painful, irregular, or heavy cycles
preparing your body for pregnancy
navigating pregnancy or postpartum recovery
entering perimenopause and no longer feeling like yourself
looking for natural, root-cause-oriented support
Feeling empowered in your body is every woman's birthright. As a Registered Herbalist (AHA), Women's Herbal Educator, and retired midwife experienced in several natural family planning methods, I am committed to helping you navigate your reproductive health and wellness through all life's stages.
When we work together, you have a trained professional partnering with you. I'll help you navigate the overwhelming amount of information out there and match you up with the best herbal allies, supplements, and nutritional approach that will help you move from surviving to thriving!
Not only that, but you'll end up with herbal medicine formulas that are designed and created UNIQUELY FOR YOU.
What my clients are saying...
Feeling Empowered to Heal
"Heather is compassionate, professional, and deeply rooted in the foundational principles of herbal medicine. Working with her to address the root causes of my health issues has been incredibly validating, educational, and productive. Her individualized and patient-centered approach ensures that your personal constitution is taken into account when deciding on a treatment plan, leading to a more effective and thorough result. I would not hesitate to recommend her service to the women in my life, and will be coming back to her should I experience any other issues."
- Gabby Koza
Learning Body Literacy
"I am so grateful to have found Heather! I came to Heather about 6 months ago, for help with fertility. At our first meeting I was amazed at how well she understood the female body and how to treat various issues. In all my years seeing western medical doctors, I've never been treated with such patience and kindness, nor have they ever been able to provide me with such detailed and helpful information. I wish more people understood what herbalists can really do! In a world that severely misunderstands women's health, Heather is an absolute gem. I would strongly urge other women to enlist her help first, as I've found that working with Heather has completely replaced any need to see a mainstream doctor for women's issues."
- B. Heron
Cycles Back to Balance
"Heather understands the intricacies of the female hormonal system. There is an art form when it comes to feeling into the female body, and working alongside Heather and the herbs has changed so much in my life. After almost not cycling for a year, my cycles are coming back more regularly with more balance, and less symptoms. Things aren’t just changing in my physical body, but in my spiritual, emotional and relational health. Since working with Heather I have hope and a greater trust in my body. I am deeply grateful." - Madison S.
Getting to the Root Cause
"About ten months ago I was having some fairly significant health issues my regular medical doctor could not figure out. After a month of running tests and never getting to the root cause, I made an appointment with Heather. Heather has been a God send to our family. I had a whole host of hormonal issues that had been festering for a very long time; following her advice on nutrition, supplements, herbs, and lifestyle switches, every single issue I had has now resolved. Whenever I have a friend confide in me their health concerns and that they don't feel like they are being heard by their medical doctor I always refer Heather to them. She truly wants what is best for her patients and takes the time to research, listen, and speak with you. I now have my daughter seeing her as well and in the future, she will be my go to for my entire family and their health."
- Liesl
Thriving Mama!
"For the birth of my fifth child, Heather gave me some 'Happy Healthy Mama Tea' to try. It was definitely my easiest birth yet, and I couldn't believe how quickly I bounced back after labor. It usually takes me a day or two to be able to walk well, but after this birth, I was up and able to make tea within minutes of giving birth. The recovery period was also a lot quicker and easier than I've ever experienced, with iron levels bouncing back to normal in record time.
I also swear by the Healing Hands Salve, which I've used on the whole family for everything from burns to bum rash. It is extremely effective, and I appreciate knowing that the ingredients are so pure and wholesome."
- Erin F.
Regaining Balance
"My experience working with Heather at Fairfield Herbals has been excellent. She has been very helpful and has made me informed of the process, and what each specific herb does, along the way. I feel like we really are working together to achieve my health goals, as it should be! She has taken the time to look into everything from every angle and has even done extra research for me on the side! I've been suffering from an autoimmune disorder that's been constantly flaring in the past few years but in my 4 months since working with Fairfield Herbals my symptoms have eased and I've been starting to experience a quality of life and normalcy that I've been desperately wanting. I feel hopeful that working with Fairfield herbals will continue to help me gain balance on my journey toward better health so that I can truly live the life that God intended for me."
- Rose
Dedicated to Clients' Wellness
"Heather is a treasure! She is dedicated to her clients' wellness and puts her all into her work. I had postpartum anxiety and Heather's care and herbal teas and tinctures as well as nutritional advice absolutely helped me survive and overcome the anxiety. I encourage anyone who is seeking an herbalist to contact Heather. Her work is thorough and personalized and she cares! And on another note, my mom finally took my advice to see Heather after she was having pain from a prolapse. Within 48 hours the tincture and teas she had given my mom began giving her some relief. My mom regretted waiting months to see Heather. She is also very knowledgeable about women's health!"
- Maripaz
Pregnancy and Postpartum
"I have been very happy with Fairfield Herbals. Heather uses very high quality ingredients so the herbs smell amazing. Her consultations are very thorough and she will tailor products exactly to your individual needs.
She created a unique blend for me before I was pregnant, I used some of her pregnancy items and am now using ones for the postpartum time. All have been extremely effective and I know I am getting excellent products each time I order. "
- Pam
Healing Hands Salve
"This worked SO WELL for my "trial" with shingles last May. Nothing else that I tried would soothe the extreme itching and allow me to put a T-shirt on for sleep time. I truly believe the "trial" was shortened due to my use of this salve. Thanks, Heather!"
- Fred
What my clients are saying...
Please contact me if you cannot find an answer to your question.
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.
Although I specialize in women's reproductive health (fertility, pregnancy, perimenopause), I am happy to work with anyone who wants expert 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.
