About Clove Elaria Shinn

Hi, I'm Clove.

My passion is for people, animals, and plants. I have never been very good at choosing between the three.

I have always felt that the measure we use for human wellbeing is set far too low. People are capable of much more than they are often able to experience in their lives.

My study of herbalism and energetic physiology began in 2008. Since then, my work has expanded through Andean herbalism, traditional approaches to women's health, classical homeopathy, clinical herbalism, constitutional medicine, and subtle energetic systems. Beginning in 2013, I undertook long-term Amazonian plant dietas within traditional frameworks, alongside sustained study and direct mentorship with experienced teachers.

Over time, these different disciplines no longer felt like separate systems to me. They began to form a larger picture. That picture is what guides my work today.

My ayahuasca ceremonial work in Peru has its own home at Neroli Peru. You can also read more about my ceremonial work here.

Complex cases can have many layers. By the time someone comes to me, there may be years of accumulated influences, with one disturbance affecting another and the original pattern becoming difficult to recognize. I look closely at the person's history, constitution, patterns of reaction, and significant experiences, and at how those different pieces relate to one another.

Eventually, people can become so accustomed to feeling unwell they lose their sense of what their own baseline could be. Seeing someone begin to experience a level of functioning, clarity, or vitality they had stopped expecting for themselves is one of the most meaningful parts of my work.

I work with people of all ages and with cases of varying complexity. If you feel something deeper is keeping you from functioning as fully as you could, you can begin by submitting an inquiry.
