Held by herbs consultations

Are you ready to see the challenges in your life differently?

Are you ready to feel lasting shifts in your health?

Held by herb consultations are a space to sense together what it is that your body and being is telling us through your symptoms and experience.

It is a space to explore and sense into what is now needed ~ to explore new ways of tending to your body, your being and life.

Together we will unearth the emotional root cause of what is happening. We will turn to herbs to hold our process, bring insight, resourcing and guide healing.

Held by herbs can help with:

Painful periods ~ Anxiety/ depression/ overwhelm ~ Recovery from birth, pregnancy loss & abortion ~ Postpartum & 4th trimester care ~ Addiction ~ Insomnia ~ Fatigue ~ IBS & digestive conditions ~ Skin & immune conditions ~ Aches & pains ~ Fertility challenges ~ Endometriosis ~ Fibroids ~ Injury ~ Cystitis ~ HPV ~ Herpes ~ Navigating peri-menopause ~ Migraines/headaches ~ Thrush ~ Relationship challenges ~ Setting or maintaining boundaries ~ Loss & difficult transitions ~ Limiting beliefs ~ Intrusive thoughts ~ Not feeling seen or heard in life or by health professionals ~ Feeling stuck, unsupported or disconnected to life, nature or community

"You have supported me in so many ways and changed my relationship to my newly revived menstrual cycle. I feel more tuned in and closer to the experience for women in a larger sense. Even if we are not following the same pattern, having my regular cycle back gives me a sense of security and relief. I have my guiding energy back. Thank you."

"Thank you Hayley so much for your support. It's made such a difference to my physical recovery. I am so glad I found you and grateful to you for your wisdom with herbs."

I had three in-person sessions with Hayley, hoping to find ways to support me living with HSV-1 genital herpes. The sessions themselves felt deeply healing - it felt like I entered a sacred space each time I met Hayley in the herb garden. I was able to go deeply into my body and emotions, as I felt very held by the empathy, compassion and deep listening Hayley offered me. The treatment plans that Hayley created for me have been providing me with lots of support and I feel much more empowered on my journey with the virus than I did before the sessions. Thank you Hayley

"The ritual we did together at the beautiful herb garden was very powerful. I couldn't believe the depth of feeling and synchronicity that flowed through it. Lots came together and made sense for me. I feel so much lighter and ready for whatever this journey through peri-menopause brings. Thank you for being there to help me mark this moment in my life."

“Thank you for taking me on such a beautiful process. What I received from our time together feels really deep and rich.”

“Thank you for supporting me with your golden herbal healing wise, wonderful, authentic, amazing Hayley.”

the roots of who you are

This offering is sensory herbalism woven together with mentorship, life coaching, story work, solution focused therapy, food as medicine, menstrual cycle awareness, nervous system awareness, ancestral healing, grief tending, somatic experiencing tools, body dowsing and ritual.

We will take a unique deep dive into your story and current state of health to remember and explore who you truly are, where you’ve been and where you are going.

We will work with your body, mind, story and soul together to create the long lasting shifts you want to see in your health and in your life.

We will hold an awareness that your health, ability to cope and be well in the modern world is not entirely personal, nor is it separate from the health of what is happening around you & your body.

We come together knowing that we and our bodies are a part of a living, changing world around us.

Throughout our time together, I will develop a detailed, personalised treatment plan for you that addresses these 7 things I know to be vital when healing naturally:

Your investment & experience

A block of 3 hour long consultations is valued at £225. Committing to this is the minimum to go deep enough to experience lasting shifts in your health and life.

I recommend the block gets spaced out with one consultation every 6-8 weeks but you can spread them out as you wish as long as they are used within 6 months.

We can meet either online or in person at the herb garden on the Dartington Hall Estate or in your home.

What’s included?

~ an extensive initial consultation form process over email

~ 3 hour long 1:1 consultations in the herb garden, in your home or online

~ email support between sessions

~ body dowsing as a diagnostic tool

~ a written treatment plan (updated as we go) with herbs, guidance for working with them and further recommendations for lifestyle, diet, practices, other therapies and co-created rituals

~ the option to purchase the herbs you need from my apothecary

~ guidance & support to enable you to build trust and resilience in your health both at home and through your communities

The herbs you can receive

We will work together with the herbs found naturally on our doorstep and in the herb garden rather than turning to healing plants imported from other cultures and continents.

The herbs I will offer you as remedies are either grown in my herb garden (exceeding organic standards) or responsibly wild-gathered.

They will be administered in the form of drops/tinctures, teas or tonics as you prefer and are created uniquely for you to initiate your body’s innate healing responses.

Remedies are valued between £10-30 per order. The amount you want to spend on herbs will be agreed upon before I prepare anything for you.

For potency, all of my herbal remedies are lovingly hand-gathered, home-processed, stored in optimum conditions and administered from my home dispensary. The freshness and vibrancy of the herbs in my dispensary often far exceeds people’s expectations. This is partly due to the regenerative way they are grown but also how they are harvested (timed carefully with optimum solar and lunar cycles), how quickly they are dried and the careful way they are stored in small batches.

You have the option of your 1:1 consultations at the herb garden where you’ll have the opportunity to meet and learn about the plants you’ll work with.

It is very important that the land is in some way part of our process together so even if we work together online, I will guide you to find the herbs you need in your local area and teach you how to make your own remedies from them.

During our call we’ll discuss what you are currently experiencing and where you’d like to be. Whether we decide to work together or not, you will learn something about where you are at from our conversation.

Healing in troubled times

I want you to know that there is nothing wrong with you because you are experiencing challenges, uncomfortable feelings or physical symptoms. You are where you are on your journey and that in itself is a miracle.

I believe you are on a healing journey and everything you experience is reflective of something far bigger than any one of us.

The healing work we embark on together holds an awareness that we live in a culture and an economic system that isn’t naturally set up for us to flourish. We are also animals living in ecosystems experiencing climate chaos and biodiversity collapse.

I consider many of the health challenges we see around us to be understandable responses to what our bodies are faced with as modern humans in troubled times.

“It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society” [Krishnamurti]

I can’t change the way things are but I can guarantee to walk the path with you: to witness, listen and guide you towards healing with greater ease and wellness.

Tending to our individual health is a big part of the collective resourcing and change we need. It is as an act of deep love, self respect and social responsibility to recognise you need support.
