Care doesn’t have to be mysterious or clinical — it can be personal, collaborative, and grounded in really being heard.

In this episode of Midwives & Milktea, we’re asking: What actually happens inside a herbal consultation?
But beneath that is a deeper question: What if care was built on relationship, not rush? What if being listened to was part of the medicine?

Join me as we step inside the herbal consultation room, a space where your story, your body, and your phase of life guide the plan. We’ll talk about how herbs fit into pregnancy and postpartum care, not as quick solutions, but as gentle supports chosen with intention, safety, and respect.

You’ll hear about:

• What the first conversation with a herbalist really feels like

• Why a full health history matters in pregnancy and lactation

• How herbal, nutritional, and lifestyle supports come together

• The role of follow-up and why healing is rarely linear

This isn’t about being handed a tincture and sent on your way — it’s about co-creating care that adapts with you.

Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or simply curious about herbal support, this episode offers a grounded, reassuring look inside a process designed to honour your whole story.
