🌿Health and happiness are your birthright.
But when you’re stuck in chronic symptoms—fatigue, pain, brain fog, confusion—it’s easy to forget what feeling good in your body actually feels like. I know because I’ve been there.
I’m Lila Swanberg, a Clinical Herbalist, Functional Nutrition Counselor, and Ayurvedic Practitioner. I help people break free from complex and mysterious symptoms that conventional approaches often overlook—through deeply personalized, root-cause care rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern clinical tools.
Before I was a practitioner, I was a patient.
I spent years living in a body that didn’t feel like home—cycling through chronic fatigue, anxiety, menstrual chaos, depression, digestive issues, and the emotional burnout that comes with feeling dismissed and unheard. Nothing made sense, and nothing seemed to help.
But everything changed when I stopped chasing symptoms and started asking better questions.
That journey brought me to clinical herbalism, functional nutrition, and Ayurveda—and ultimately into a completely new relationship with my body, my health, and myself.
Now, I feel good in my body. And I help others do the same.
🌀 My Approach to Healing
I believe real healing is individualized, relational, and rooted in respect for your body’s innate intelligence. It’s about working with the body, not against it—and honoring the whole system, not just isolated symptoms.
Three truths guide everything I do:
-
We Are All Unique. Even with the same diagnosis, no two people’s experiences—or needs—are the same.
-
Everything Is Connected. Physical, emotional, spiritual—all of it. Healing doesn’t happen in silos.
-
It All Matters. The food you eat, the thoughts you think, how you live—it’s all part of the healing equation.
🔧 The Tools I Use
🌿 Herbal Medicine
Plants are powerful when used with intention. I practice planetary herbalism, blending Ayurvedic, TCM, and Western traditions—tailored to your constitution, imbalances, and patterns. Herbs aren’t just “natural remedies”—they’re targeted tools for transformation when applied with precision.
🥣 Functional Nutrition
No one-size-fits-all meal plans here. I help you understand not just what to eat, but how your body is (or isn’t) using it. We focus on digestion, blood sugar balance, inflammation, and nourishment—grounded in both functional science and your unique biology.
🧘🏽♀️ Ayurveda
Ayurveda holds the ancient keys to modern illness. With a system that has been in continual practice for over 5,000 years we have so many insights that help us preserve the health of the healthy and ease the suffering of the sick. Ayurveda offers a unique lens observe the body mind and spirit from.
