ACORN Clinic Services
We empower individuals to take charge of their own health with a vitalist approach to herbs & nutrition

Get the care you seek without limitation...
The ACORN Collaborative Care Clinic offers you the ability to choose your clinician, as well as select your preferred appointment time. This service eliminates the lengthy waitlist of our Free Clinic, providing faster service to those in need of immediate care.
Our Free Clinic appointments are in high demand. We receive many requests for sooner appointment times and scheduling flexibility. Our team of clinical herbalist graduates have come together to make these expanded professional services available.

Why consult with a professional herbalist?
Just because it's natural, doesn't mean it's safe
Safely using herbs to help improve health is something we take seriously.
With the vast amount of information about herbs and natural medicine available online it’s all too easy to be misled by the marketplace and end up with a remedy that is more likely to hurt you than it is to help. We strongly encourage that you seek the guidance of our trained clinicians, who have experience and knowledge of adverse reactions, constitutional assessment, and cautions that come with herbs and natural healing. We can help guide you to the therapies that are right for you and avoid those that may cause you harm.
When it comes to natural medicine there is never a one-size-fits-all remedy for everyone. This is even true when two or more people have the same condition. Turmeric may be the perfect herb for one person, but may cause adverse reactions in another. Each person's health expression is unique, and so the recommended treatments should also be unique. As herbalists we seek to address healing at the root of illness rather than use the allopathic methods of symptom suppression. We have used this approach in our clinic to achieve transformative, long-lasting health improvements, with little risk of side effects.
