Book Your
Herbal Consult.
Struggling with something specific or just feeling off? Let’s figure out the root of it together. You’ll walk away from your herbal consult with a clear holistic lifestyle plan, herbs specifically for you, and immediate next steps to help you feel your best.
A wise herbalist once said, “Nobody ever got sick from an herb deficiency.” It’s true! It’s not as simple as matching this herb for that thing when we work with whole plants for whole people. Herbs work to bolster our bodies’ natural functions, correct imbalances, and empower us forward. That’s why in my herbal consults we’ll always also look at your food, hydration, lifestyle, etc. in addition to which herbs are safest and most targeted for you specifically.
Finding Wholeness Through Balance.
Hi! I’m Abby, owner of Bloom Apothecary. I’m a trauma-informed herbalist and energy worker who loves helping people feel healthy, at peace, and fulfilled in their lives. My approach to healing is integrative because I know from experience how deeply our internal world shapes our physical health and vice versa.
I especially enjoy working with people who feel deeply, think a lot, and are exhausted from trying everything they can think of without finding the relief they’re looking for. My greatest joy comes from seeing a tangible reduction in pain and suffering, both in individual lives and in the world around us. That’s why I do this work.

What is Energy?
Basically every spiritual and philosophical tradition has their version of the concept of energy. In Ayurveda, it’s prana. European and American herbalists and eclectic physicians call it the vital force. In Chinese medicine, we say Qi (chee). Christians have ruach, or the animating spirit of breath that raised the dry bones. And on and on.
Regardless of your vernacular, it’s apparent that there’s a flow to this life—and more importantly, that we can be in or out of sync with it. My job is to help you find your own internal sense of that flow so your can live more fully and feel better doing it. I’m so delighted to serve as a compassionate witness on your journey!
This is a powerful session for deep work. Much like acupuncture without the needles, this is an energy treatment designed to help you relax, align, and flow. I recommend these sessions for anyone, but especially if you have a persistent physical, emotional, mental, or energetic pattern you’d like to rewire. If you feel “blocked,” “stuck,” or just out of sync, this session is for you.
Energy naturally seeks coherent patterns. The universe is designed that way. We’re at our best when we’re in sync with the flow of that harmony. But life happens and physical imbalances, big emotions like shock, grief, and anger, or stored trauma can all disrupt that flow. When energy can’t move freely, it follows the path of least resistance, which can leave imprints in our muscles, organs, minds, and hearts.
In an Energy Flow Session, I draw from classical Chinese medicine principles and others to identify the roots and patterns of disharmony. My job is to facilitate the restoration of proper flow.
I do this primarily with structural energy work and needle-less acutherapy, as well as sound therapy, aromatherapy, somatic touch, affirmation, guided meditation, and/or visualization—whatever helps unwind the old holding patterns.
I will send you an intake form at the email you provide. Please complete it 48 hours before your appointment time if possible.
You’ll first fill out your intake forms and return them to me. In your initial session, we’ll discuss your health history and come up with a holistic protocol together based on your goals. I’ll write up and send your detailed protocol to you AI-free, from the real herbalist me—with my real desk references, clinical experience, and love of all things herbal healing—to you. You’ll receive it within 1-2 days after your intake session.
My integrative approach blends functional and Chinese medicine principles, botanical wisdom (of course), and my strong dedication to energetic balance. It’s my joy to guide people with simple, sustainable, and effective steps that build lasting momentum without overwhelm. I’m here to help you figure out your next right steps and feel resourced enough to take them.
There’s nothing I love more than a deep dive; I thrive on tracing the root of a pattern across the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies and then translating all that complexity into a plan you can actually follow. You’ll leave your session with immediate next steps, a handy dandy written holistic health protocol, and my recommendations for herbal allies to support you.
I will send you the intake packet at the email you provide. Please give yourself about 45 minutes to fill it out, and return it to me at least 3 days before your appointment so I can prepare. We will likely schedule your follow-up appointment at the end of our visit (usually 4-6 weeks out).
Quick questions and concerns can be discussed via email or text between visits, but deeper conversations typically take place during a formal follow-up appointment.
When you live with chronic physical pain, tension, or stress, it affects how you move, feel, breathe, think, and relate. Over time, the nervous system can get stuck in protection mode, prioritizing survival over its natural dynamic, flowing balance between states of arousal and rest. The brain’s hemispheres don’t communicate as smoothly, and typically, one side of the body tightens while the other compensates.
This sometimes subtle functional and mechanical lateralization (holding pattern) can show up from/as physical pain, and also fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, or emotional strain. This session is a great one to try for concerns that haven’t responded fully to other treatments. It has also proven itself to me as effective in acute cases as well.
Many clients have noticed reductions in physical pain—even after a single session—and they experience calmer presence, more emotional clarity, and truly restorative sleep with regular sessions.
Please choose 45 minutes if this is your first energy healing session with me. 15 minute sessions are a quick follow-up option for pre-existing clients.

Grounding and centering
For death, rebirth, and life after rot.
Beauty Way is a delicious, rooibos-based blend for your heart.
A key herb is this blend is hawthorn, and its folklore goes deep, but my favorite little tidbit to talk about is that it was a remedy used for the black death because of its affinity for clearing out what was putrid.
This tea has brought me more vibrant skin, a less agitated nervous system, better digestion, and has also walked me through many miniature deaths and rebirths. This tea is crafted to help you walk the Beauty Way, seeing beauty in all things. Deep, but gentle and comforting, Beauty Way tea is a daily companion especially anyone who’s navigating a life transition, whether it be joyous or not-so. It’s also for those who just really like a good blend centered around the ever-so-gorgeous rooibos.
Preparation instructions:
Pour boiled (~190°) water over a generous Tbsp (or more) to taste. Steep covered for 10-15 minutes. This tea’s flavor really comes out once it’s cooled from piping hot. I like to strain, and let it rest to a comfortably warm temperature before enjoying. Bonus, that gives you time to set your intentions and speak your affirmations into the cup.
A made-to-order herbal blend created based on your wellness needs.
4 oz
Please fill out the short form to give details about your preferences and intentions. Your blend will then be prepared and packaged in a 4 oz size.
