Collective Herbal Care Consultations
Reclaim your health with personalized support, education, and shared experiences in a small, intimate setting.
Collective consultations are designed to help you gain insight into holistic protocols, learn from others facing similar challenges, and build confidence in using herbal support. Whether you're navigating specific health challenges or simply looking to stay ahead of potential issues, this offering will provide you with an opportunity to gather in a group setting, engage in meaningful discussions, and feel less alone in this profound transitional journey. Perfect if you've been curious but hesitant about a one-on-one private consultation. Collective consultation sessions can improve health outcomes, reduce isolation, and empower you with tools for self-care and advocacy—while fostering community and connection.
In a world that often pathologizes our bodies and isolates our pain, we gather in small intimate groups to remember another way. Together, we explore the wisdom of plants, the power of story, and the radical act of tuning in. These caring sessions are not just about symptom relief—they are about returning to ourselves, learning how to listen deeply, and dismantling the idea that healing must happen alone or in silence.
Each 4 session package will center around a certain theme or health challenge. The first collective consultation gathering will focus on perimenopause & menopause. If you would like to propose a theme for further sessions email Alyssa at info@alyssadennis.com
THEME: Reclaiming Menopause: Collective Herbal Care for Transitional Balance
Navigating menopause? You’re not alone.
Menopause is a rite of passage that is all to often medicalized as some kind of malfunction that needs to be treated instead of simply seen & supported.
Together, we share, listen, and learn. About herbs. About ourselves. About what it means to move through this threshold with power, clarity, and care.
Come root into community. Leave with tools, language, and a renewed sense of sovereignty.
All sessions will be lead by clinical herbalist Alyssa Dennis, founder of Eclipta Herbal with the occasional guest teacher.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take this course for someone else?
No, we are offering these sessions for your own personal health needs. Please join these sessions for yourself & for the education of your own body and not for someone else's. Each person should consider signing up for a session if you have symptoms or personal concerns related to the session theme.
I’m taking pharmaceutical medication; can I still work with herbs?
Yes, most herbs are safe to take in combination with medications. However, there are a few drug/herb interactions that should be avoided which we can discuss on a case by case bases as needed.
What if I have a complex health condition? Can I still join these session & receive support?
No matter what your health challenges are you are welcome to join. Depending on your other avenues of support you might benefit from more individualized support with the addition of a one-on-one consultation.
Are herbal teas, tinctures & other supplements part of the cost of the sessions?
The price includes one 4oz tincture or 6oz tea formula. I do my best to keep my recommendations to this but there might be an occasion where someone might need further support which would need to be purchased separately. The cost doesn't include refills beyond the first initial formula and often 2-3 refills over a 2-3 month period is recommended.
