Inviting Joy and Safety Into the Body

A personalized herbal journey designed to support ongoing patterns or lingering imprints of eating disorders, disordered eating, and similar struggles with body and food.

Offered Via Zoom and/or
In-Person (Brooklyn, NY)

These 8 weeks are packed with things I wish I had had access to when I was navigating my own healing from an eating disorder.

I created this program because while I love traditional one-on-one herbal client work, I wanted to offer something more structured over a long-term period. Struggles with food and body can be persistent, and have lasting imprints even post-recovery. This program is designed to provide ongoing support as clients to integrate their herbal protocol, as well as offer guidance as shifts and challenges arise.


—Emmy Kawanishi Reis

Work towards your goals with personalized herbal recommendations and holistic tools designed for empowered embodiment. This 8-week journey is packed with ongoing support, body-based practices, and light education, provided by a Clinical Herbalist with lived experience in eating disorder recovery.


Program Overview

What It Is:
A client-centered, personalized 8 week herbal program designed to address symptoms and lay the groundwork for your long-term goals by covering 5 key themes:

Regulate: Befriending and regulating the nervous system

Nourish: Physical, emotional, and energetic nourishment

About Me

Hi, I'm Emmy Kawanishi Reis—a Clinical Herbalist and creative based in Brooklyn, NY.

I completed a 3-year clinical herbalism training at Arbor Vitae School of Traditional Herbalism and am currently training in somatic work. I bring lived experience recovering from an eating disorder alongside deep training in traditional herbalism and nervous system support.

My approach is grounded, practical, and earth-based—rooted in the belief that the body holds deep wisdom, and that healing happens through nourishment, deep listening, and gentle reconnection with our bodies. The plants are masters at this! They thrive and know how to be themselves, wherever they are placed on the earth. Working with them to support our mind, body, and spirit is a universal, ancient practice that grounds us in our bodies and our environment, and helps us to find the answers in how to thrive here and now, as our whole selves.

My time learning about and practicing with them has allowed me to reclaim my narrative, and begin to remember what it feels like to be safely, and even powerfully embodied. It’s an everyday practice, and it’s normal to falter at times—but I believe it is our birthright—and plants are wonderful teachers and alchemists that can help us get there.
