A few years after the training on the herbal treatment of Lyme Disease and its coinfections that I was lucky enough to take part in before Stephen Harrod Buhner retired from teaching in person, I underwent my own journey with Lyme Disease, and the co-infections Babesia, Bartonella, and Mycoplasma. It is one thing to study these infectious diseases and the various naturopathic and allopathic modalities that can be utilized to regain one's health, it is quite another to undergo them. Having that firsthand knowledge lends itself to a better understanding of the intricacies of these infections, their wide range of symptoms, and tailoring the herbs to each specific individual. My firsthand knowledge has become your gain, natural support for Lyme is now a specialty within my practice. I offer custom herbal protocols and formulas specific to your individual needs, energy healing sessions, and resources for those services beyond the scope of my practice. I keep the herbs recommended in many of the books below in stock in my herbal apothecary.
For more information on how to address your own healing journey, please book an Herbal Consultation.

If you have been bitten and have saved the tick you can send it to be tested to see if it is a carrier for Lyme Disease and any co-infections. Here is a list of reputable labs that test for the infections they can carry. Please note, not all of the labs test for all coinfections.
