Meet Your Herbalist
Rutva
With over a decade of experience in the corporate world, I realized the importance of prioritizing health and well-being. It sparked a journey for me to understand how to reach my best state. I learned the principles of holistic health and the means to achieve it through the right balance of diet and lifestyle. Most importantly, however, I learned to tap into the magical benefits of plants to support my quality of life.
Using a unique blend of traditional wisdom and scientific expertise, I am an Herbal Academy-certified herbalist. My science degree in genetics further enriches my approach, enabling me to bridge the gap between herbal traditions and a modern, evidence-based perspective. My passion lies in creating customized herbal formulations and holistic health plans that empower clients to optimize their well-being. My approach to herbalism is both accessible and transformative, offering clients the benefits of science, tradition, and practical application.

Results can vary based on the herb, individual health, and consistency of use. While some people notice changes within a few days, others may see more gradual effects. Generally, most herbs show optimal results within 4-8 weeks of regular use. For personalized advice, we offer consultations to help tailor a regimen that suits your unique needs.
Recommendations provided are intended to work holistically. No one herbal or other recommendation can replace an existing treatment plan or cure an entire ailment. Please continue working with your doctor on existing treatment plans, maintain exercise/movement, and continue any other therapeutic measures you are currently adopting that are supporting you, and immediately abandon any recommendations below that make your symptoms worse.
Our recommendations are designed to provide information. They are not a medical diagnosis, treatment plan, or prescription. Please consult your licensed healthcare providers before making changes to your current treatments and routines, especially if you take medications or have diagnosed conditions.
-
You must list your prescription medications in our intake forms and during our virtual meeting. Herbs do interact with drugs so it is crucial that you work with your doctor before starting any herbal or other regimen.
To the best of my ability, I will provide you with information regarding any interactions between your medications and the herbs that I recommend. However, I cannot guarantee that they will not interact as much herbal research is still in its infancy and in need of development.
Herbs can respond differently to different individuals. If you choose to incorporate the recommendations, monitor yourself closely and abandon the recommendations immediately if you experience any worsening symptoms or allergic reactions.
