Therapeutic herbalism for queer and trans people using the power of plants, practices and Intuition.
ONGOING SUPPORT
I work with clients in an ongoing, therapeutic way, meeting monthly or quarterly to support your mental and emotional well-being. Clients usually come for help with concerns like depression, anxiety, panic, OCD, chronic stress, burnout, PTSD, mood swings, PMS, insomnia and other states of distress, named or unnamed. These conditions are often rooted in present, past or inter-generational trauma, and I work from a collaborative, trauma-aware perspective to find the herbs that can help you in shifting patterns and building greater resiliency.

GENDER AFFIRMING SURGERY SUPPORT
I offer gender affirming surgery consults, herbal care packages, and self-paced workshop videos to help prepare and support QT folks in their emotional, mental and physical care through the surgery process.
COACHING sessions
During these one-time sessions I offer support during moments of change, transformation, transition or loss like: gender transitions, moves, breakups, new relationships, job loss, new employment, deaths and grief, and growing family. I offer a non judgemental space, and bring my curiosity and intuition to help find herbs and practices to accompany you during these big shifts and big moments of unknown. I can also offer embodied practices or ritual suggestions for finding clarity around big decisions.
“FINN OAKES IS AN EXTRAORDINARILY GIFTED PRACTITIONER. DEEPLY TRAUMA-INFORMED, INTELLECTUALLY RIGOROUS, AND INTUITIVELY ATTUNED, THEIR SKILL WITH CONNECTING PLANT MEDICINES TO HUMAN NEEDS HAVE BEEN UTTERLY LIFE CHANGING FOR ME. THE THERAPEUTIC ALLIANCE THEY HAVE CREATED HAS SUSTAINED ME THROUGH WHAT ONCE SEEMED LIKE IMPASSABLE LANDSCAPES.
