Acute Care Checks
Coming down with a cold? Sprain your ankle? Break your toe? Have a cut not healing well? This offering is designed for acute conditions that do not require immediate medical care, but where a little extra herbal guidance and support would be helpful.
After a 30 minute phone or virtual conversation covering your immediate concern, I will send you a couple suggestions for what may ease the situation. These may include dietary/lifestyle suggestions, supplements, or herbs (including how to use them safely and where to get them).
Cost: $55 (In-training price). Does NOT include the price of herbs.
*The use of herbalism is considered alternative and is not a substitute for western medical care. Herbalism is not currently licensed or regulated in the USA, and therefore there is no legal oversight. Suggestions offered are not designed to be a diagnosis or treatment of any disease, injury or medical condition. I am not a doctor, nor any other type of licensed medical physician. Accordingly, if you have any medical or health issues, I strongly recommend that you consult with your doctor in regard to any medical conditions or newly added supplements in your diet in addition to obtaining any information and/or suggestions from me.
Herbal Consultations
In these one on one consultations, we work together towards achieving your personal health and wellness goals. We will discuss your current concerns, wellness goals, and health history among other topics. I aim to provide a safe and confidential environment during the meeting, to support your understanding of your health landscape and opportunities to flourish, and to suggest educational avenues to support your wellness through the integration of herbs, supplements, aromatherapy, or dietary/lifestyle considerations. Potential benefits of working with an herbalist and entering into relationship with herbs are numerous and may include feeling supported and cared for in your health journey, attaining a more complex understanding of your body and listening to what it needs, becoming aware of plant allies all around you, encouraging optimal personal wellness, and finding balance and strength in your everyday life.
Within a week after the initial intake session, I will send you some suggested next steps specially designed for your education and well-being. Often working with an herbalist is not a one-time thing. The most benefit can often come from working with someone you fit well with for a number of months to years, in order to find what works best for your body and situation. As we are always changing and growing, so is our relationship with the plants.
At this time, the state of Pennsylvania does not provide licensure for clinical herbalists, therefore there is no legal regulation by a Commonwealth licensing agency or board. Therese Robbins of Heart Beet Herbals LLC is not a medical doctor or physician, and is not authorized to practice medicine as defined by the State of Pennsylvania. This includes, but is not limited to, the diagnosis, treatment, cure, mitigation, or prevention of any medical condition or disease. In attending this consultation, you will not receive any medical, diagnostic or treatment procedures, and the suggestions or assessments given in this consultation do not replace the advice or treatment given by your physician.
Since I am currently in-training to be a clinical herbalist, my prices and waivers reflect that I will be learning through these sessions with you. You will be asked to sign an informed consent and liability waiver form before we begin working together. I very much appreciate folks being willing to work with me as I apply my knowledge and grow my clinical expertise with the goal of becoming a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild, a designation with over 1200+ training hours. More info can be found on the AHG website: https://americanherbalistsguild.com/.
Intake/Initial Appointment – 60-90 minutes, $100 (In-training price)
Follow Up Appointment – 45-60 minutes, $45 (In-training price)

Yard & Garden Consultations
Yard & Garden Consults include a visit to the space, which can be in person if you are in the Pittsburgh area, or virtually if not. In this visit we will discuss your goals, observations and needs for the new design, go over any questions you might have, observe the land/sun/water/outside influences that may impact the space, and encourage creativity and enthusiasm in the project. After that initial visit (within 2-3 weeks), I will send an overview document that depending on the site visit and your wishes, may include: site goals and steps to reach them, plant recommendations, suggestions for placement of plants, trees, & garden beds, local resources for native plants, woodchips, & compost, and/or further education. You can use this document as a guide for how to proceed in your yard & garden plans.
Cost: $275
please reach out via email if this is something that interests you and we can set up a short 10 minute phone call to see if we are a good fit.
