Alyssa Wilcox
Clinical Herbalist

Alyssa Wilcox is a practitioner of Western Herbalism with a love for the healing power of nature. After years of receiving no support from allopathic medicine, Alyssa began exploring natural healing methodologies to support her own health. Eventually, she found her calling to herbal medicine through a desire to learn more about the plants that grow locally in the Bay Area, discovering the abundance of native medicinal plants. Alyssa is passionate about organic farming and focuses on sustainable growing practices, opting for locally grown plants, whenever possible. Alyssa’s goal is to help people find and treat the root cause of illness so they can live full and happy lives.

Alyssa is offering In-person consultation at Gathering Thyme in Petaluma on certain Saturdays every month. A 30-minute session focused on addressing one targeted symptom, like lingering cold / long COVID, digestive issue, recent diagnosis, or sudden onset symptoms. No active viral illness visits, please! Suggested Price: $50 – Includes 1 oz custom tincture or 2 oz tea blend filled by Gathering Thyme, plus diet and lifestyle suggestions. Sliding scale ($20-50) available for those in need. No one turned away for lack of funds.
