A Deeper Approach to Complex Health Concerns
Nurturing Wellness from the Ground Up
Your health is more than a collection of symptoms.
At Herbal Roots with Carrie, I provide personalized clinical herbal care for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their health and additional support for ongoing concerns.
My approach combines Western Herbalism, TCM-informed assessment principles, and an understanding of human physiology and modern research.

Does this sound familiar?
You're managing a health condition, but still struggling with persistent symptoms.
You've been told your lab results are "normal," yet you know something isn't quite right.
You're frustrated with your progress and want to better understand what's causing your symptoms.
You're wondering how concerns such as digestion, inflammation, hormones, pain, or fatigue might be connected.
You're looking for a more personal approach that considers your whole health picture and can work alongside your primary care provider.
My Approach to Care
Every person is different, and herbal care should reflect that. My approach considers your health history, current concerns, and the factors that may be influencing your well-being.
Comprehensive Assessment
A detailed review of your health history, symptoms, medications, and lifestyle; incorporating tongue and pulse assessment, and functional laboratory review.
Clinical Reasoning
Applying knowledge of human physiology, phytotherapy, and traditional assessment principles to identify patterns and explore contributing factors.
Individualized Herbal Care
Personalized botanical formulations and practical recommendations tailored to your needs, health goals, and circumstances.
“Understanding the person is just as important as understanding the condition.”
Areas of Support
Clinical herbal care can complement conventional healthcare across a wide range of health concerns, including:
-
Insulin resistance, blood sugar regulation, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, PCOS, thyroid health, menstrual and menopausal concerns, and hormonal imbalances.
-
Digestive discomfort, altered bowel patterns, gut microbiome health, and gastrointestinal function.
-
Chronic inflammation, persistent pain, musculoskeletal discomfort, and inflammatory health concerns.
-
Immune dysregulation, recurring immune challenges, inflammatory responses, and recovery support.
-
Individualized botanical support during and after cancer treatment, with an emphasis on quality of life, safety, and collaboration with oncology providers.
-
Stress, sleep, nervous system health, energy, and general wellness are also important aspects of my clinical herbal practice.
Why Choose a Clinical Herbalist?
Clinical herbalism goes beyond simply recommending herbs for individual symptoms. It involves a comprehensive understanding of herbal medicine, human physiology, and the many factors that can influence health.
As a Registered Clinical Herbalist, I bring extensive education, practical clinical training, and individualized assessment to my work. My goal is to understand your health concerns within the context of your overall health and develop recommendations that are appropriate for your individual needs.
