Community Clinic
Herbalista Community Clinic
For 15 years Lorna opened her home in East Atlanta to the community, offering a sliding scale family herbal practice. She maintained a full herbal dispensary, custom compounding remedies for her patients after a thorough intake.
In 2022, Lorna stopped taking new clients in order to launch the Free School. If you are looking for in-person herbal consultations in the Atlanta area, please visit the Fleur + Forage webpage to learn more.
EXISTING CLIENTS: Lorna offers follow-up consultations via Zoom. Please see below for more about the sliding scale fee schedule and to schedule your session.
Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine is the oldest and most widely used form of medicine in the world! Effective, affordable, environmentally friendly, with minimal side effects, and tantalizing to all the senses, herbs are a vital part to a healthy present and future!
Lorna is a general herbal practitioner, not a medical doctor, and does not diagnose disease or prescribe medications. She has experience aiding children and adults with a variety of issues. She works WITH the patient and value an open, honest dialogue about your current concerns and health goals. At Herbalista, we value collaborative care and believe that we can achieve our most vital health through cooperation between conventional and traditional medical methods.
After a thorough intake, including medical history and current lifestyle review, she will create a plan consisting of suggestions for healthy daily routines and recommendations for herbal therapies.
Initial consultations last up to 90 minutes. Follow-up Appointments can last up to 1 hour.

Follow-Up FormOne of the most important things we do at Herbalista is help folks find the help that THEY need. The answer isn’t always herbal. In fact, the answer is almost never one thing. As holistic practitioners we are looking at all of the parts of the person and also all of the facets of a persons life, including their access to basic necessities, their mental health, etc. We have compiled a resource list of services around the Atlanta area that we can point people towards– services such as dental, acupuncture, meditation, counseling, harm reduction, yoga, and more.
