I offer herbal consultations specializing in helping women navigate the perimenopause transition.
The changes that happen during the end of our reproductive years are natural. Our bodies are transitioning from one life stage to another. But sometimes this transitional time can come with symptoms and discomforts that make navigating life during these years a bit challenging. Many women experience sleep disturbances, heavy bleeding, mood swings, hot flashes and more. I'd love to work with you to offer herbal and lifestyle support for your challenges, so that you start feeling better as you move through this transition.
In our first couple meetings, our goal will be to work on the foundations... sleep, stress, nutrition, and lifestyle. I'll also bring together custom herbal formulas just for you to start incorporating into your daily routine for nourishment and support. Our work together will be aimed at helping you feel better, lessen symptoms, and changing your relationship with your body.

Introductory offer...
After trying a sliding scale structure, I've come to realize this is a bit of a nightmare when it comes to billing on the platform I use. I've decided to go back to a flat fee for consultations, but I am happy to offer a discount for low-income folks. If you are struggling to pay bills and meet basic needs right now, let me know and I will discount your consultation fee.
My introductory package, including your initial consultation and your first follow-up is $100. Future follow-up appointments beyond this are $35. Consultation fee does not include the cost of any recommended herbs or supplements. I'm happy to make up the formulas you need after your consultation, but for folks with medicine making experience, I'm also happy to support you in making your own medicine if possible. Clients also get a 20% discount on supplements through my Fullscript dispensary. All consultation are online, so you can talk with me from the comfort of your home.
If you are ready to begin our work together, fill out the form below and briefly describe your health goals. I'll help you get started with the intake process and scheduling our first meeting.
I look forward to working with you.

Why work with an herbalist?
Herbalism is an empowering skill. Often, when folks pick up their first book on herbal medicine, or go on their first medicinal plant walk it can be like opening a treasure box. Wow, these plants have been around me this whole time and I never knew they could be healing!
Or, if we start buying prepared tinctures and teas and feel noticeable improvement and ease of symptoms it can be amazing.
I love teaching folks to make medicine, recognize the wild medicine, and formulate for their own health needs. I love seeing folks empowered to use nervines, digestive tonics, and cold and flu formulas to improve their quality of life. It is amazing to see the excitement as they learn to navigate the world of herbal medicine that is truly their ancestral heritage.
But then I will inevitably get questions like, “what herbs are good for endometriosis?”, or “do you have a formula for IBS?”.
My answers to the above questions are… it depends, and no.
Endometriosis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome are complicated and chronic conditions. Yes, herbs can help with both of these, but there is no one-size-fits-all solution here. With chronic health conditions there is a whole person picture to assess. And a well thought out herbal plan will take into account not only the current symptoms, but the health history of the person, any medications they are taking, their diet and lifestyle, and what they can practically take on at this point in their health journey.
In these situations, working with a trained clinical herbalist can be very helpful in determining practical and effective strategies for working on your health goals.

What to expect when working with a clinical herbalist
Initial consultations usually last between one and two hours. During this time, I will listen to you talk about your health goals, go over your health history, and get a picture of your diet, lifestyle, and current condition.
Afterward, I will do any necessary research to educate myself about aspects of your health situation that I am not familiar with, look at your energetic patterns and any blood work you provide, and put all this information together into a total picture and put together a comprehensive plan that will include herbal formulas designed just for you, but also may include supplement recommendations, lifestyle suggestions, diet suggestions, and/or referrals for other therapies or blood work.
I know that making changes can be challenging and overwhelming, so I’m here to work with you to determine what you can take on now, what we can save for later, and how best to incorporate things into your lifestyle.
After you get started with your plan we will check in again after 4 or 6 weeks. At this follow-up appointment (which typically lasts between 30 and 40 minutes) we will discuss how well you were able to implement your plan, any changes you have noticed, and whether anything needs to be adjusted, removed, or added.
Follow-up appointments can be scheduled as frequently as you desire, until you feel that our work together is done.
In all of this work together, I see myself as your partner. I’m here to support you on your journey, help you find the herbal allies best suited for your unique experience and stage of your journey, and give you the information you need to make whatever changes you feel are best for you.

What clients have to say...
"April has helped me over the years when I have had issues with anxiety, stress and just trying to get my body back in balance. She is very knowledgeable and compassionate, I highly recommend seeing her!"
Melissa
"April Coburn is a very dedicated to her clients and quite thorough in her approach to herbal and life style care. She cares deeply for those she serves, gives her service to her clients her all, and it is such a delight to be in her presence. It is special to have someone local that does clinical herbal care in such a special, deep, personal and caring way."
MAH
"I am grateful for the opportunity to work with April! She did a thorough job holistically accessing my concerns and the herbs have been easy to obtain. I feel listened to in our sessions, which is an important quality I struggle to find in my doctors. I would recommend an appointment with April!"
Chelsey
"I met April years ago as she was set up at a market and I had bought a plethora of her herbal medicines.
I've always been drawn to the energy and power of plants and I eventually ended up taking and graduating from both her folk herbalism and advanced apothecary classes.
I cannot express how much I have learned. She's an outstanding teacher and extremely inspiring.
In most recent times, my health had declined and I learned that I had some health issues I needed to address. I reached out to April to see if she could help. She had consulted with me and really dug deep to get at the root of the issues. She really went above and beyond to formulate a plan for me.
Since consulting with her, following her plan and taking the plant medicines, the difference is night and day on how I feel now compared to how I felt prior to her help.
April is super professional yet personable, experienced, intelligent and knowledgeable, supportive, intuitive, down-to-earth, empathetic and compassionate.
I'd also like to add that she is super supportive as she periodically checks in with me to see how I'm doing and if there's anything that needs addressing.
She is fantastic and I recommend her a million times over.
I am so thankful that I've had the opportunity to meet and work with such a remarkable human being. Her love and passion for what she does really shows and affects everyone around her positively.
