Herbalism Uncensored
Alicia Peterson | Holistic Health Practitioner · Clinical Herbalist · Ayurvedic Health Counselor · Yoga Teacher
Over a decade of practicing traditions older than the system that leaves so many behind.
I spent most of my adult life being failed by the system that was supposed to help me. Twenty years ago, chronic pain from a faulty surgery left me barely able to move, and the only answer I got was pain pills… for life. That was not acceptable to me. I found yoga instead, released the narcotics, and got my body back without a single prescription. That practice now spans 23 years and 12 years of teaching, with a focus on breath-work and body awareness. Yoga taught me the importance of listening to my body.
In 2016, it happened again. Tachycardia, nerve pain, insomnia, anxiety, unexplained weight loss. Doctors ran labs, said I was fine, sent me home. I was already deep into my clinical herbalism studies under KP Khalsa. While I waited three months for a cardiologist, I went to my herbalist. By the time that appointment rolled around, every symptom was gone.
That was the last time I hoped herbs might work. After that, I knew.
Herbalism became my primary clinical focus, and it still is. I've been studying plant medicine in clinical and academic settings since 2014, training across Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western herbalism. I still work with my mentor and colleagues to deepen my clinical knowledge, because this work doesn't stop evolving and neither should I.
Since 2021, I've been seeing clients professionally through my practice, Holistically Correct, where I help people find sustainable solutions to anxiety, depression, hormonal and reproductive health issues, autoimmune and thyroid disorders, diabetes, chronic pain, and recovery from treatments like chemotherapy and surgery. The ones who've been overlooked, disappointed, or told to just live with the stubborn chronic conditions that get dismissed as 'stress' or 'just getting older.' My approach pulls from multiple healing traditions because the right answer depends entirely on the person sitting in front of me. If one path doesn't fit your life, we find another one.
I don't do generic protocols. I don't boss people around. I listen, I ask questions, and I help you figure out what your body's been trying to tell you. You're your own best doctor. I'm just here to help you remember that.
I co-host Herbalism Uncensored because I got tired of watching people suffer with bad information and no real guidance. The podcast is my way of reaching the people I can't sit across from one-on-one, sharing what a decade of study and clinical work has taught me about how the body actually heals when you give it the right resources, treat yourself like an individual instead of an algorithm, and start paying attention to what your body specifically needs.
Real healing starts with awareness. How do you actually feel? Where are you really at? But it doesn't end there. It ends with you walking your daughter down the aisle. Playing with your grandkids. Making love to your partner. Chasing whatever version of happiness you've been putting off because you didn't feel well enough to go after it.
