Welcome.

My name is Dani Ortman and I am a Registered Clinical Herbalist, Certified Intuitive Coach, and owner of Angelica Herbal. I bring together my training to provide natural care alternatives in a roots-deep approach to physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

With values steeped in gentle, attentive listening, I honour each individual’s unique healing journey.  At Angelica Herbal, you are welcomed into a space where your healing is seen, heard, and supported in a heart-centred approach to wellness.

What I love most about herbal medicine is that it feels like having a good friend with you, a gentle companion offering support that extends beyond the physical to nourish the mind, body and soul.

Herbal Medicine honours the whole of our being through all of its parts. It weaves together the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies by acknowledging the fullness of their interconnection as fundamental to health & wellness.

What is herbal medicine?

Herbal medicine is an ancient and evolving practice that utilizes various parts of plants (seed, root, leaf, bark, or flower) in forms such as tea, tinctures, capsules, infused oils, or creams.  Herbal treatments are crafted from a collection of hundreds of plants that have been used for thousands of years.  Herbalists are trained to use whole plants, each containing complex phytochemicals that work across multiple systems of the body producing healing effects.

How can it help?

Herbal medicine has a wide range of uses across all systems of the body, including reproductive, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, musculoskeletal, skin and nervous system. Herbs can help ease anxiety, support restful sleep, improve digestion, balance hormones and nurture resilience during times of stress or transition.

More than one concern?

All of your concerns welcomed and held with great care. We listen to your needs and create custom herbal formulas and treatment plans tailored to you.
