Welcome to Mt Tam Herbals

Coming from a Western herbal perspective, we use plants, herbs and customized lifestyle recommendations to help bring your body back into balance.

Whether you are dealing with significant health issues or just need to fine tune your system, herbs offer a gentle treatment path with great benefits such as mood support, alleviating anxiety, digestion, healing from injuries and women’s health concerns.

It’s incredible to see how people shift their lives dramatically using herbal medicine.

We are here to help you with issues that our health system often has no solutions for, using the plants that grow all around us, while supporting you to participate in your healing.

Compassionate health and healing offered by a formally trained Clinical Herbalist.

Hello!

My name is Maureen Boland, I was born in San Francisco, raised in the Midwest and now call Fairfax, California my home. I come to clinical herbalism with a client-centered and compassionate approach to care informed by 20+ years of community health work, serving disenfranchised populations and specializing in women’s health. I have been exploring herbal medicine and the plant world for over a decade, and completed a 600-hour training with Gathering Thyme School of Western Herbalism and a year-long clinical program seeing clients as part of an accessible sliding scale clinic. I currently serve as the teaching assistant for Gathering Thyme’s low-cost community herb clinic and teach at Gathering Thyme’s Herbal School.

I hold a deep love for herbal medicine and I am captivated by the power of plants to bring us back into balance. I believe strongly that we all need a gentle lift and push to thrive in this world, and I am excited to partner with you on your healing path!

My focus is on women’s health, the musculoskeletal system and mental health, but I enjoy exploring all aspects of health. In my free time I am part of a medicinal garden cooperative, love exploring the wildness of Marin and connecting into the powerful healing force of the earth.

  • I’ve always wanted to use herbs in a meaningful way but felt intimidated by them. Maureen helped me see how accessible plants can be, and how to incorporate them into daily life. My consultation left me feeling both empowered and cared for, and I LOVE my unique herbal formulations. I have enjoyed observing subtle changes within myself that come from combining intention and consistency with plant medicine. Maureen is a powerful healer who possesses great knowledge and wisdom alongside kindness and grace; her offerings are unlike anything I’ve had access to within the allopathic or naturopathic medical systems.

  • I’ve used Maureen’s help for a couple of physical issues that I was struggling with. I’ve appreciated her willingness to listen to what I’ve tried to do to help my situation, and to then give knowledgeable and practical input from there. The suggestions she’s made, and the medicines she’s shared with me have been really helpful. I’ve definitely found that working with her is an investment worth pursuing.

  • Maureen consulted with me on a lingering knee injury that wasn't responding to traditional orthopedics. ... Maureen had a deep intuition balancing specific herb blends for me. I felt for the first time since this ski injury that a doctor was not telling me to suck up my pain and do less. She is deeply attentive and caring with her approach. Having suffered traumatic orthopedic injury firsthand, Maureen taught me to trust the gradual and steady healing power of herbs. I continue to incorporate her herbal blends in my daily routine as it is individually tailored to me.

  • Maureen is amazing. She listens and asks all the right questions. She helped me during a traumatic brain injury and had lots of helpful suggestions for easing menopause symptoms.

  • I came to Maureen because my elderly mom had been complaining of neuropathy in her feet for some time. She used to be an avid hiker, but because of the pain & numb/tingly feeling, she was only able to walk around her block. I asked if there was something simple that she could do. Maureen made her a special herbal salve that she puts on her feet every night & she can't believe the difference! While the sensations haven't gone away completely, it's better enough that she can go for longer walks pain-free! It's not just her feet that are restored but her overall happiness...thank you so much!
