Herbalism & Iridology Services

Specializing in Seasonal Wellness through Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Herbalism Practices

About Em Miiller, Clinical Herbalist & Iridologist

I’ve been studying Clinical Herbalism, Iridology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine and Botanical Skincare since 2014. I completed my education as a Clinical Herbalist in 2022. My practice as an Herbalist has been operating since 2020, and Isola Herbal Skincare was founded in 2014.

I have seen alternative health practitioners for my own health, the health of my family, and my animals for over 30 years. I have education in Iridology and Herbalism from the Wild Rose College of Canada , and from the Herbal Academy of New England , both of which I am an active member and affiliate.

I attended college for large animal veterinary medicine as a veterinary technologist, and have worked in veterinary practices prior to finding my career in alternative health.

My Specialties: Seasonal Wellness for People AND for Horses!

As an Herbalist and Iridologist, I have focused my practice on Seasonal Wellness, which is where the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine applies. I am passionate about working with people who are active with their fitness and health journeys, or who wish to dedicate more of their energies to becoming more active. As a ballet dancer myself, I have an understanding of the gruelling routines that being a sports professional can involve for the body and the mind.

When I practice Herbalism and Iridology for people, it is important for clients to know that many herbal programs take three to nine months, and sometimes longer. This is due to herbalism often addressing the collective constitution of the body, rather than just one particular acute issue. Many Herbalists will confirm that they are ‘constitutional healers’. In my areas of study, humans and animals typically require a more immediate relief from their discomforts, which herbs and my referrals for acupuncture treatments can address. The goal of creating an herbal programme for my clients is to understand their body constitution, areas of potential strength and weakness, and how to regulate and balance those areas so to avoid an acute issue.

Herbalism for Horses

My second area of education and interest is in working with animals and their health, with a focus on horses. I have had horses my entire life, and I am educated as a Veterinary Technologist. Horses respond to herbs and Traditional Chinese Medicine so positively! I have been able to work with horses who have discomforts ranging from behavioural anxieties to Cushing’s symptoms, injuries, hormonal imbalances and digestive issues. My two horses, Tobi, a 24 year old Arabian, and Aksel, who is almost 5 years old, are my greatest passions.

What to Expect:

I will ask a series of questions regarding lifestyle, food aversions and cravings, exercise habits, medical history and thought tendencies, as well as examine the iris of the eye and review what I see in the map of your Iris. I may also take your pulse, look at your hands and fingernails, and ask to see your tongue, all of which are diagnostic techniques stemming from Traditional Chinese Medicine. From there, I am able to determine your individual tissue strengths and weaknesses and constitution type, and make recommendations for lifestyle and health choices of yourself (or your beloved animal.)

I will typically recommend diet alterations, which are often temporary, lasting anywhere from a few weeks and up to nine or 10 months. To build on the process of balancing the body to correct discomforts or dis-ease, I may also recommend herbal supplements, teas, tinctures and/or topical salves.

Most clients will schedule a second appointment within the first month, and following that, we would schedule consultations every two-three months (or seasonally) as we work together with the environment and lifestyle to create a more balanced, healthy, energetic body.
