Rooted in Rhythm
Three Months of Herbal Care, Community, and Rebalance
A 3-month virtual group clinic program providing whole-person and compassionate herbal care in a group setting for those experiencing hormonal and gut health challenges. All bodies welcome.
What is a group clinic?
Our herbal group clinic program is modeled after group therapy and community acupuncture where participants receive individualized attention in a shared group setting. Within this group container, participants receive personalized care, including customized herbal support and nutritional guidance, while also benefiting from the reflections and presence of others who are going through their own health journeys.
In this setting, you’re not only cared for, you’re also witnessed. The group itself becomes part of the medicine: a supportive, nonjudgmental space where listening, sharing, and insight can inform individual experiences. This model combines the depth of one-on-one herbal care with the support of community, offering both personalized guidance and the powerful medicine of collective care.
I acknowledge and offer gratitude to Frieda Kipar Bay and Gina Badger who inspired this model of herbal group work.

How It Works
We’ll meet virtually on Sundays for 6 total sessions over the span of 3 months — from October to December. We meet for 2 hours, except for the first session which is a bit longer to allow for introductions and orientation to the group. The group clinic is capped at four participants.
Each session opens with a “knowledge share” where we dive into an herbal topic related to hormonal or gut health. We then move to group work for the remainder of the session, where we focus on an in-take and/or follow-up session for two of the four participants. Follow-up sessions are held 2 weeks after an in-take to allow for an herbal and nutritional protocol to take root.
Participants who are not directly engaged in an in-take or follow-up session will serve as compassionate witnesses, with the opportunity to provide nonjudgmental observations and reflections at the end of each session.

What past clients have to say…
“Through our time together I came to understand my self and my cycle in a much deeper way. Christine is extremely caring, non-judgmental, and holds very nourishing space. I felt deeply heard, validated and supported. Christine made me feel very safe and seen as a queer person, which can be super hard to come by in the world of sexual and reproductive health. I would recommend Christine to anyone, especially to those who have felt let down by other reproductive health practitioners in the past.”
Jules N.
“Rachel crafted me teas and tinctures to fit my specific health goals and support my daily routine, moreover, she recommended daily adjustments that I could make to boost my health in general. She was kind and intelligent enough to work within my small budget: crafting wonderful remedies that boosted my intake of nutrients, helped me focus, and helped me find better rest. I’d highly recommend reaching out to her for her expertise!”
Elizabeth E.

Natalie P.
“Christine helped me examine irregularities in my cycles and brainstorm ways to best support my body as I went through this major hormonal shift. I have seen such a positive change in my health and a shift in my self-perception, as I can now understand my bodily experience and health through the lens of my cycles. Christine is not just a subject matter expert, but also holds tender space for her clients as they navigate their hormonal experience. Her kindness and empathy was integral to every session. I am so, so grateful!”
