"I contacted Vanessa early on in my pregnancy for a herbal consultation because I wanted professional advice regarding the use of herbal medicine during pregnancy and postpartum. Her insights and suggestions supplemented and enriched the advice given to me by my midwives and doula, and I reviewed her recommendations regularly while experiencing and treating each new pregnancy symptom and sensation. Vanessa's knowledge empowered me to safely and confidently use herbal medicine during my pregnancy and, after my son was born, while breastfeeding. Vanessa is highly competent, perceptive, and enthusiastic and I am happy to recommend her services"

"Vanessa's passion, empathy, and knowledge was very impressive. I came to Vanessa in desperation when my son's eczema was at its worst. She took the time to listen to my fears and anxieties and treated my son and I like we truly mattered. She went above and beyond to make sure we were getting the care we needed. She even sent us special herbs that we needed to treat his skin and it arrived in just a day!
I will always value the information Vanessa gave us and I am so grateful for the effort she put into my son's health. I highly recommend consulting with Vanessa if you are looking for treatment or information on clinical herbal therapies."

"In a time of pressing digestive discomfort with a slew of unknown origins, Vanessa warmly welcomed me into her practice ready to build a personalized healing plan. She is clear, especially thorough and asks the right questions. It can be overwhelming to want to revamp a diet or lifestyle completely when things go wrong, but Vanessa chose 3 elements to focus on healing which was so appreciated. Vanessa has helped me to slow down and take notice of how the physical, emotional and mental parts of myself are inextricably connected and since moving forward with this perspective, I see positive changes in my digestion and energy levels. Thank you Vanessa for taking such detailed and specific care towards my healing!"
"I went to Vanessa to treat ongoing digestive issues I’d been experiencing, as well as anxiety and mood swings. She listened to me attentively and asked thoughtful questions while I described my pain and symptoms. She performed a gentle physical and was very calm and professional throughout the whole experience. I could tell from her touch and attitude she has healing hands and cares deeply for her clients and their well-being. Vanessa was very easy to talk to and at the end of the consultation she provided me with a tincture and tea formula, which I took to a herb shop and they quickly and easily filled for me. I noticed differences after taking them and found her prescription easy to follow. I researched each ingredient she had listed as I was curious about their medicinal properties, and each one seemed perfectly in tune with something I was dealing with. I was highly impressed at Vanessa’s vast knowledge of the herbs and plants in her field, and how quickly she was able to hone in on what could benefit me. Thank you, Vanessa!"

“Knowing Vanessa and having her as part of my support team in many areas of my life, reaffirms that the struggle for a healthy body and mind doesn’t have to be alone. Your knowledge, friendship and safe practice space is and will always be appreciated.”
“After being on ADHD medication for many years it was becoming ineffective, a crutch and an addiction. I decided to look for alternatives and that is when it was recommended to me to speak with Vanessa. I had a consultation with her where we went into great detail about my health. She came up with a comprehensive plan for me to replace Dexedrine with plant medicine, vitamins, and diet regime (including changes and limitations). I have been free off of pharmaceutical medication for 6 months and my lifestyle and emotional stability has improved copious amounts. I feel like I can live free of my old prescription and I won't be going back. Thank you for your time, care, openness, and for being completely thorough with my case. Your passion and knowledge changed my life.”

“Vanessa is my person when I have any medical concern. I trust her knowledge of her craft & the natural world. I believe there is a place in the middle between “western” practices and the herbal approach, and while she shares this view as well, she will supply evidence as to just how powerful herbal medicine can be. Recently, I got a sizable cut on my leg, and it began to develop an infection. Upon a visit to the local walk-in clinic, the only option I was given was a heavy dose of antibiotics. I didn’t want to take this route, but I was concerned about my wound, so I went to Vanessa. She guided me through making my own poultice and drawing out the infection from start to finish, while also prescribing an antimicrobial & immune support tincture protocol for me to take internally. I felt cared for, heard, and most importantly proud that I was able to heal myself naturally. This is something key about herbal medicine. It teaches you how to take care of yourself on an every day level, and in turn, gives you a sense of control over your own life. Thank you for helping me learn this valuable lesson, Vanessa. “

“Vanessa is a very lovely person. Upon arrival, I instantly felt the warm embrace of her presence when I was greeted and handed tea that she had brewed up to compliment my health.
She was extremely thorough with discussing my health concerns and I appreciated her attention to detail. I have been suffering with ulceritive proctitis for about two years. When I had contacted Vanessa, I was very ill as I was low on iron and B12 from the disease. I felt all my questions had been answered with clear and empathetic answers. I was given a protocol to guide me through a daily routine that I felt was easy to follow and made me feel content knowing I was in good hands. I am happy to say I am in complete remission following the steps given by Miss Prescott. I felt lost trying to figure out where I should begin and what best would suit me, but with Vanessa's help I know I am on the right track and she has given me a beautiful start to my healthy journey. I am very grateful for you and will continue to be a patient for a happy, healthy life."

“I was recently referred to Vanessa concerning my chronic nasal congestion and persistent feelings of irritability and anger. After only my first dose of herbal tincture I felt incredible. I was substantially alleviated on an emotional level. Her knowledge and insights regarding my state of health were incredibly in-depth and extensive. After only two weeks following Vanessa’s advice, my stubbornly blocked sinuses were clear and I felt emotionally empowered. I look forward to every dose of herbs, and I’m so thankful to her for having such an impact of my state of health and overall comfort. I would highly recommend anyone who is seeking thorough guidance and support with their health to book a consultation with Vanessa.”
