Herbal Health Consultations

2 Ways to Receive Care:

Herbal Health Consultation

For those seeking in-depth, longer term herbal support.

A full herbal consultation offers one-on-one, personalized care with a clinical herbalist. While each herbalist has a different approach, all will provide comprehensive, long-term herbal care and support that will yield lasting benefit.

There are 3 clinical herbalists on staff at The Elderberry, each with their own practice and specialties. To book an herbal health consultation, decide which practitioner you would like to work with by reading their bio, specialties, and booking details in the section below.

Mini Consult

The Elderberry’s most comprehensive offering for quick, personalized care, a min-consult is a 30-minute herbal session with a clinical herbalist that addresses one specific health concern. Mini Consults take place every other Tuesday in-person at The Elderberry and are facilitated by one of our clinical herbalists.

Natalie Rader, Clinical Herbalist, Waldorf School Teacher

  • I began my journey with plant medicine while seeking solutions to my own chronic health issues and wanting alternatives to the pharmaceutical model while caring for my son.  

    I completed my 3 year study of clinical herbalism at Sacred Plant Traditions with Kat Maier in 2022 having gained a deep understanding of the clinical and energetic aspects of herbalism through the lens of Western Energetic herbalism as well as with knowledge of the principles and practices of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese medicine, allowing me to work with clients at a constitutional level.  

    In addition to working with clients clinically I work at The Elderberry as an apothecary assistant, tend the apothecary of a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, and assist at harvest time at a local medicinal herb farm. I also work at the Charlottesville Waldorf School with toddler/preschool aged children.   

    As a clinical herbalist, it is my goal to help people take control of their own health, build resilience, and feel at home in their bodies.

  • As a mother, Waldorf school educator, and student of several different herbal philosophies, Natalie’s “specialty” is that she is a great fit for anyone looking for healing via plant medicine.

    She enjoys working with children and families.

  • Initial Consultation: $165, 60-90 minutes

    Follow-Up: $110, 45 minutes

Meg Madden, Clinical Herbalist, Tarot Reader, Ceremonialist

  • There can be a  profound dissonance between desire to be well and daily practice of tending an ecology in which wellness can germinate and flourish. Reconciliation of this dissonance is some of the hardest, most human work we can do in this life, and we cannot do it alone.

    Healing, like germination, occurs within an ecology as an elegant collaboration between specific, unique, and harmonized conditions. Not within a vacuum. Not within sterility. Not with force or coercion.

    Allow yourself to commit to learning your own ecology and be tended by a customized, finely-tuned program that pairs nurturance and healing from the network of resources surrounding you with the deep wellspring of life inside you.

Sydney Batson, Clinical Herbalist, Craniosacral Therapist

  • A future without debilitating symptoms is yours to claim.

    It can feel intimidating, sure. 

    Dedicating enough time or attention to your health on top of work, family, and everything else that needs doing is a daunting task—which is why most people never do it. 

    There’s so much to know (let’s face it, the human body is COMPLEX), and making life-style changes by yourself can feel alienating and downright hard.

    If you just wish there was a way to commit to your healing without feeling so overwhelmed and alone in it—there is.

    And it’s exactly how I’m here to help.

    I offer bespoke 2-3 month healing containers that combine energetic herbalism, craniosacral therapy, and coaching.

    I meet you where you are: If you need more support on the physical level, I can help you with diet, movement, and herbs to support your physiology. If you’re ready to explore the psycho-spiritual contributors to your chronic symptoms, I offer craniosacral therapy and coaching alongside energetic herbalism to integrate your whole being.
