The Consultation Process
Consultations are offered over zoom or in person in Elliott's private office in Dancing Willow Herbs, 1018 Main Ave, Durango, CO.
In these consultations, Elliott will dive deep into your health history, diet, lifestyle, physical conditions, and any other relevant information that you are wanting to address. After the 2 hour long intake consultation, Elliott will formulate a custom therapeutic strategy to address the root cause and any acute symptoms you are experiencing.
Therapeutics always include a customized herbal formula that takes into account your unique constitution and herbal indications. Custom herbal formulas may be in the form of teas, tinctures, powder blends, honey pastes, syrups, oxymels or elixirs depending on your individual wants or needs. Elliott also may provide education or recommend nutritional changes, supplements, lifestyle changes or flower essences.
The cost of the initial consultation includes the 2 hour intake as well as a 30 min-1 hour initial follow up where Elliott will explain all recommended therapeutics in depth.

For every intake session, Elliott spends 5-8 hours of research, formulation and customized health investigation related to your case.

Clinical Testimonials
"Elliott's support in my healing has been such a turning point for me. From the beginning, Elliott is looking to uncover the root cause of issues, not just treating the symptoms. She creates a safe and loving space and asks deep intuitive questions as it relates to the unique, whole person. I have learned so much from her knowledge of the interconnectedness of the body and appreciate that she does not take a "one size fits all" approach. Elliott is authentic, wise and kind and I look forward to every conversation with her. It's time we all become empowered in our health, and Elliott can guide you there." -CH

"I have been working with Elliott Brinkley for about four months now. I have been very fortunate to have this opportunity to work with Elliott, and I am immensely grateful. I have had monthly zooms and weekly emails back-and-forth with Elliott. We discussed herbal remedies, symptoms, my emotions, and all things Health. Elliott really puts her whole heart into her clients, and that is something I’ve been blessed to feel and know. The very first zoom I had with Elliott, I cried tears of joy. I finally felt so understood and heard. I was left with such a sense of hope for healing. She has taken her time to thoroughly get a picture of my health and me as a person. I have truly never experienced these things with any western practitioner.
Though it has only been four months now, I can say with confidence that Elliott has already helped me become healthier and happier through the help of her and herbal medicine. Every single herbal remedy she has provided has been greatly beneficial to me. Elliott is an outstanding herbalist, and an outstanding person. She provides love, healing, guidance, and kind words to her clients. If you are someone looking to head the route of herbal medicine, she is the herbalist to have by your side. I recommend Elliott to anyone looking to start working with an herbalist. I can’t even convey how much gratitude I have for Elliott. She will be your cheerleader through your journey of herbal medicine. She is such a bright soul, you’ll have to get to know her for yourself." -FY
