Lorna has offered community herbal care for almost two decades. She completed an herbal residency with Michael Moore at the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine in 2004 and clinical studies at both the Blue Ridge School for Herbal Studies and the BotanoLogos School. She is a Wilderness First Responder and also trained as a Foot Health Practitioner at the SMAE Institute in 2019. She is the founder of the Herbalista Free Clinic and programs including the Herb Bus and Herb Cart Mobile Clinics. Practicing on both sides of the Atlantic, she is also a founding member of the Dublin Herb Bike Collective and member of the Irish Register of Herbalists. Lorna believes that in order to preserve our access to herbs we have to make them part of our everyday lives, from our kitchens to our medicine cabinets.
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.
