Disclosure, Liability Waiver & Release

DISCLOSURE

I, Gina Kearney, am a Registered Herbalist (RH) with the American Herbalists Guild, Certified Flower Essence Practitioner and Advanced Shamanic Practitioner.

Currently, herbalism is not considered a recognized health care modality in Florida or the United States and there is no state or national licensing for herbal practitioners. At this time, there is only national certification and registration.

I received my Herbalist Certification from the ArborVitae School of Traditional Herbalism and am a Registered Flower Essence Practitioner with the Flower Essence Society (FES). My training includes Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda (India), Eclectic herbalism (early American), European phytotherapy, Flower Essence Therapy and some traditional Native American herbalism. I have also been trained as an Advanced Shamanic Practitioner by Sandra Ingerman and am ordained by the Universal Life Church Ministries.

My approach is to combine these alternative healing modalities in my work with clients to educate and offer you the support needed to restore your ability to experience balance and harmony. The focus of my assessment is to identify patterns in the body, mind, emotions, and energy. Based on this information I make recommendations that may include herbs, flower essences, shamanic journey, sound therapy, nutrition, supplements, counseling and lifestyle to foster physical, emotional, mental and spiritual balance. 

I am NOT a medical doctor nor do I practice standard Western medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment. I do not claim to cure disease, nor do I offer advice about the use of any type of pharmaceuticals or medications at any time. I have no objections to my clients being seen or evaluated by their own medical doctor. If you have any questions or concerns about your health, I highly recommend you discuss them with your physician. I encourage you to share and discuss my recommendations with any other health care professionals.

Further, I may recommend suppliers of high quality, organic herbs and/or maintain an herbal apothecary. I may sell herbal products, flower essences, and nutritional supplements for a profit. I dispense them as a convenience and to ensure clients are receiving specific, individualized herbal formulas and quality herbal remedies. Clients are not obligated to buy any products. The recommended of herbal, nutritional and energetic remedies are not a replacement for the medications prescribed by your medical doctor.
