What is Herbal Gynecology?  
Herbal gynecology is the practice of supporting women’s reproductive health through the use of natural herbs, practices, and traditional wisdom. It involves harnessing the medicinal power of plants to address gynecological concerns, as well as caring for hormonal balance, menstrual health, and overall well-being. This approach taps into a long lineage of women’s knowledge, often called “alternative medicine” today, but truly a form of primordial medicine that women have relied upon for centuries.

Why is Herbal Gynecology Important for Women?
Herbal gynecology is important because it empowers women to care for their bodies in natural, holistic ways. Long before modern medicine, women used plants and herbs as their primary form of healthcare, passing this wisdom down through generations. This knowledge honors the body’s natural rhythms and cycles, providing a gentler alternative or complement to conventional treatments. It allows women to reclaim this essential knowledge, promoting self-awareness, balance, and deep-rooted health.

Which Gynecological Issues Can Be Supported with Herbal Gynecology?
Herbal gynecology can help address a range of gynecological issues, including menstrual irregularities, hormonal imbalances, PMS, PCOS, endometriosis, menopause symptoms, fertility support, and postpartum healing. Herbs can be carefully chosen and tailored to each woman’s unique needs, offering support that aligns with the body’s natural rhythms.

How Does the Consultation Work?
The first consultation is a longer session, lasting approximately 1.5 hours, to allow for a thorough intake and an in-depth understanding of your health history and goals. If you’re meeting with me in person, I’ll provide you with the necessary herbs to begin your care immediately, usually in the form of a tea blend, bottled infusion, or tincture. If you’re based in the Netherlands, I can mail the herbs to you; for clients living abroad, I will send a detailed care plan with the official names of each herb, so you can source them locally. Additionally, I offer support if substitutions are needed.

What is Included in the Consultation?
Each consultation includes a personalized three-month care plan designed to support your well-being. This plan incorporates herbal remedies, lifestyle practices, and self-care techniques specifically chosen for your needs. Throughout these three months, I offer ongoing support, adjusting the protocol as needed to ensure it’s working effectively for you. If further guidance is needed after this period, I may recommend another consultation to refine or extend your care.

Which Practices are Part of Your Herbal Gynecology Approach? 
My approach to herbal gynecology includes a variety of practices, such as herbal tinctures, infused teas, bottled herbal blends, and v-steaming. Additionally, I incorporate ancestral rituals, meditation, and other supportive practices to nourish both body and spirit. These methods honor the wisdom of women’s health traditions, helping you reconnect with yourself in a holistic and meaningful way.

Are You a Doctor?
No, I am not a medical doctor. My role as an herbalist specializing in women’s health is to provide complementary, natural support for gynecological concerns, drawing on traditional and ancestral wisdom. While I offer guidance on using herbs and holistic practices to support well-being, I always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider for any medical concerns, diagnosis, or treatment. Herbal gynecology is meant to enhance and work alongside traditional medical care, empowering you with additional tools for self-care.
