Discover Your Path to Holistic Healing

Session Time: 2 hours

Intake Fee: $300

While getting to know you and your unique emotional and physical health history, I create a safe and welcoming space to ensure I can accurately understand and evaluate all elements related to your health goals and concerns. A new client consultation aims to identify underlying causes and triggers of your health issue(s) while empowering you with holistic wisdom and techniques, cutting-edge integrative health resources, and customized nutritional and botanical therapeutics to begin your healing journey.

Please note that for every new client, I conduct approximately 6-8 hours of case research, formulation, and customized health investigation.

‍This Session Includes:

I strive to meet clients wherever they are in their healing journey, with patience and compassion, in order to empower and support them to be the healthiest and happiest versions of themselves. Working outside the confines of the traditional Western medical-industrial complex affords me the opportunity to offer clients the time they deserve to share their story, their history, their goals, their progress and their suffering. My holistic approach helps clients uncover their strengths, gain new insights, and hone the skills they desire to overcome life’s challenges. We will work together to discover root causes and tap into the innate healing power of the body. I believe that all humans should have the ability to be truly heard and understood in order to heal, grow and thrive; I would be honored to support you in your wellness journey.

My counseling approach draws from attachment theory, person-centered humanistic psychology, mindfulness, strengths-based, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and somatic, energetic and nature cure therapies.

Because mental health cannot be separated from the experience of the body, I take a holistic approach to determine root causes and lifestyle interventions to alleviate suffering and disease expression. My clinical training in psychology, holistic nutrition, herbal medicine, and energy medicine allows me to better understand the depth and complexity of the human body and spirit. I honor and support clients looking for psychological interventions and support alone, however, my specialty lies in working with the mind/body and brain/gut connections in order to better regulate the nervous system, nourish the body and your whole being to find balance.

I may teach you about your nervous system and utilize somatic techniques in order to help you understand what’s happening in your body. As a licensed psychotherapist, certified yoga instructor and energy medicine practitioner, I often integrate mind/body techniques such as mindfulness, breathwork and guided imagery and/or meditation. I find that incorporating mind/body techniques can help clients access deep or stuck feelings, process emotions, work through any unresolved trauma, and obtain a deeper level of self-understanding and interoception.

Herbal medicine is the therapeutic application of plants for the purpose of healing. Vitalist Herbalists take a deep dive into your health history and symptom progression in order to obtain a broad overview of health and disease within the body. Together, we will explore the interconnectedness of presenting physical symptomatology and underlying relationships with food, people and the planet. An herbalist intake involves exploring common threads and root causes that may be impacting your overall health and wellbeing. Topics commonly explored include allergies, medications, diagnoses, diet, sleep, stress, digestion and bowel patterns. Herbalists are trained in pattern recognition, assessment of medication side effects, and identification of symptoms of concern that need referral for further follow-up. I work collaboratively with my clients to create a wellness plan that may include various herbs and herbal applications, as well as dietary recommendations. Herbal therapeutics include botanical preparations such as tinctures, teas, powders, salves, creams, lineaments, capsules and supplements as well as Vitalist lifestyle practices. tomatology and underlying relationships with food, people and the planet.

I approach nutritional health and wellness from a whole-person, biochemical individuality perspective using nutritional education as a primary tool and teach a whole-food-based, organic, chemical-free approach to eating. I partner with clients in order to fully engage them in their health recovery process and honor their innate wisdom by working in an empowering and cooperative manner to chart a course to optimal health.

Hippocrates said it 1000s of years ago: Food is medicine! Foods can both heal and cause harm (often in the form of inflammation). By attuning with one’s bodily needs and signals we can begin to interpret the subtle messages of what nutrients, foods or practices we need for nourishment of our bodies and souls as well as enhance our awareness and understanding of and which foods, patterns and behaviors may be causing harm or acting as barriers to cure. I often integrate Vitalist practices and behavior skills to help you learn to support your body’s natural intelligence through nutrition, hydration, rest, and other lifestyle habits.

Clients may elect to only discuss nutritional and dietary changes to support their health. This option is particularly relevant to clients who are pregnant or have cancer as the state of Colorado prevents herbalists from dispensing herbs to these clients. This service is also a great option for clients who have complex medical conditions, end stage or terminal illnesses, for children, or for anyone with hesitation to try herbal therapeutics.

These sessions provide dedicated safe space for clients to explore their health and wellness goals and challenges from an emotional and spiritual lens. Although I am trained as a psychotherapist, therapeutic advice will not be given during these sessions. Instead, they offer a container in which clients can discuss and explore their emotional landscape with the support and guidance of an experienced listener who will reflect, ask clarifying and thought provoking questions and summarize what the client is presenting. A uniquely tailored and individually formulated flower essence and/or gem elixir blend will be created for the client at the end of session for them to take home and continue working with in order to shift and support their emotional growth and spiritual goals. These sessions may include breathwork, mindfulness techniques, guided imagery, somatic exercises, sound therapy, functional movement exercises, lithotherapy (the use of mineral, crystal and gemstone specimens), sampling of specific essences to test their impacts, and smudging or burning herbs, resins or candles.

These sessions are dedicated to detecting and treating disturbances in the human energy system. Diseases often present in the individual energy field before settling deeping into the body and manifesting as physical or mental symptoms. These treatments can clear out these disturbances and allow the body to progress in its healing journey. These treatments integrate well with Flower Essences or Gem Elixirs as a way to continue the growth, healing, and consolidation work for weeks following a session.

All sessions except Psychotherapy Only Sessions have the potential to become a mixed therapeutics session as this is my preferred method of working with clients in order to provide the most holistic approach to health and well-being. By consenting to services clients acknowledge Jamie Glaze as a Vitalist Practitioner who draws upon her training and expertise in Western Clinical Herbalism, Holistic Nutrition, Flower Essences, and Vitalist Practices. Clients may elect this modality up front when booking or consent to the inclusion of herbs, nutrition, flower essences and Vitalist practices at any time during the session.

As part of my investment in the health and wellbeing of my community, I offer occasional classes and workshops on a variety of health topics and herbal medicine strategies. One such offering that has been and will continue to be provided is “Herbal and Nutritional Strategies to Support the Mind/Gut Connection”. Depending on class topics and content they may be offered either in-person or online, or both. Sign up for my newsletter for up to date information on upcoming educational workshop opportunities.
