HERBAL SUPPORT

Hi. I'm Sydney Batson. I practice clinical herbalism and energy work. Think of me as your herbal matchmaker, pairing you with the plants and practices that best suit your needs. I am a graduate of Sacred Plant Traditions’ 3-year clinical herbalist training program, a certified Reiki “master”, and a practitioner of biodynamic craniosacral therapy.

As a clinical herbalist, I can assist you with digestive complaints, menstrual woes, blood sugar imbalances, and much more. I’m passionate about facilitating healing on multiple levels, so energetic medicine is woven into my practice.
My work goes beyond mere symptom management to nourish your mind, body and spirit. Because truly, we need healing on many dimensions—from the cells of our selves to our collective earth.
When I began studying herbalism, I just wanted to know which plants to use for various ailments. I wanted natural remedies for physical symptoms. Later in my training, I learned that real healing happens when we tend to all levels of our being. I learned that if we have help accessing those levels, each of us can heal ourselves. Your body is incredibly brilliant and wise. As an herbalist, I simply choose which plants can best meet you where you are. Naturally, you do the rest because your body already knows how.

Meet your Herbalist

Reclaim Your Health

If you’ve been dealing with chronic or recurrent symptoms like: headaches, digestive upset, high blood pressure, blood sugar imbalance, muscle and joint pain, anxiety. menstrual/hormonal issues, and more herbal support would be beneficial!

Herbalism is the art and science of using medicinal plants for healing. These sessions will support your healing using custom herbal formulas, diet recommendations, and mindfulness practices.  

Does health feel like an elusive state that’s continually out of reach? It doesn't have to be! 

If you’re done chasing quick fixes and ready to create lasting health and vitality from within, we are right there with you. Shifting away from the “fix me now” mindset and into the paradigm where you let your body recover at its own intelligent pace goes against everything we’re conditioned to believe about healing. And it also is what creates the most lasting results. This is why working with our herbalist spans 2-4 months as opposed to a one-time meeting. So that you receive a well-rounded system of support that holds you through every step of your healing journey. 

Booking with our clinical herbalist means you'll have a well rounded support system that includes:

  • A thorough initial intake (the antithesis of the 6 minute doctor visit) that includes a health history, tongue analysis, pulse reading (if we meet in person), and you answering questions that no other practitioner has asked you before. 

  • Custom herbal formulas made for your unique needs made using the highest quality herbs. How do I know they’re high quality? I manage an herbal apothecary in Charlottesville where we carefully source herbs that are cultivated/wild harvested by herbalists who are in right relationship with the land and the plants. You can feel confident knowing the medicines you receive will not only be potent and organic, but will also retain the spirit of the plants they are made with. Plus, herbs are included in your package price. 

  • Diet recommendations, recipes ideas, and nutrition education from your resident ingredient label detective and biochemistry nerd who believes that food truly is medicine. 

  • Journal and meditation prompts that help you take a wide angle view of the current state of your physical, emotional, and spiritual health. This is where those “Aha!” moments happen, where dots connect, and where you begin to embody all of the changes you want to create in your life. 

  • Optional energy work sessions to further round out your experience. This is really where our work together transcends symptom management and moves to alchemizing your pain into power.
