Please take a moment to read through this information before booking your appointment. Because we are a teaching clinic, we invite you to include a clinical student as an observer in your consultation. This is a very important part of our educational model, but you have the option to decline at any time. **If you would like to opt out of student observation, please be sure to select an appointment for Professional Clinic, No Student Observation.** Thank you in advance for helping us to further the practice of herbalism through our students.

Professional clinicians are highly trained and experienced herbalists who offer personalized education in self-care with herbs. Initial sessions last approximately two hours, and are devoted to exploring the interplay between body, mind, and spirit as herbalist and client co-create a plan for optimal wellness. You should expect to have at least two subsequent visits, which range in length from 30 minutes to an hour.

We offer flexible payment options for all herbs and services including sliding scale payment, time exchange, and the offer of partial or full gift. You may purchase custom formulations according to your herbalist’s recommendations from our full-service apothecary. You are welcome to purchase herbs elsewhere and we are happy to provide a list of reputable sources.

We also offer appointments with student interns through our Student Clinic. To book an appointment with one of our student interns or learn more about the Student Clinic, please contact us at (802) 224-7100 or info@vtherbcenter.org.
