From time to time, people ask how Yarrow Therapy got its name. Yarrow is a root traditionally used in herbal medicine, known for helping stop bleeding and promote healing. When choosing a name for the practice, that meaning resonated deeply.
In many ways, it reflects what we hope to offer emotionally. Life transitions, loss, and mental health challenges can leave people feeling raw or wounded. Yarrow Therapy exists to help slow the bleeding, create space for healing, and support clients as they regain steadiness and strength. The name serves as a reminder that healing doesn't have to be rushed-it can be gentle, intentional, and rooted in care.
The name Yarrow Therapy isn't just symbolic for emotional health- it's personal.

Alongside following medical guidance, she was also referred to a holistic provider who encouraged her to take yarrow.

Carrying the name Yarrow now feels like a full-circle moment-one rooted in gratitude for the journey, the healing, and the lessons that made this work possible. It serves as a reminder that hope can grow even in the hardest seasons, and that healing often begins long before we realize it.
