In 2022, after 15 years serving East Atlanta, Lorna handed the Community Clinic (apothecary and all) over to Marie-Lies Van Asten of Fleur + Forage. Marie-Lies is a trusted herbalist who not only apprenticed with us, but served as our mobile clinic and apothecary manager for a number of years. If you are looking for in-person herbal consultations in the Atlanta area, please visit the Fleur + Forage webpage to learn more.
Lorna is not currently taking new clients as she focuses her energies on building the Free School curriculum.
EXISTING CLIENTS: Lorna still offers follow-up consultations via Zoom. Please see below for more about the sliding scale fee schedule and to book an appointment.
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.
