Mary Jane Liviau, mGNC, mANP, Dip. Herbal Medicine, Dip. Naturopathy, BSc Product Design.
Hello, I’m Mary Jane Liviau, founder of Herb Hive, a herbal medicine and naturopathy practice based just outside Collooney, County Sligo.
With qualifications in Herbal Medicine and Naturopathy, alongside a background in Product Design, I bring together traditional plant knowledge, naturopathic principles and a thoughtful, individual approach to health and wellbeing.
My interest lies in understanding the individual as a whole, recognising that health is influenced by many interconnected factors, including lifestyle, nutrition, constitution and environment.
At Herb Hive, I offer personalised herbal medicine consultations and individually prepared herbal formulations, drawing on the traditional knowledge of Western herbal medicine to create an approach tailored to each person.
A Thoughtful, Individual Approach to Herbal Medicine
I believe that good herbal practice begins with listening, observing and understanding the individual.
Traditional herbal medicine offers a rich body of knowledge about the relationship between plants and human health. At Herb Hive, I value this tradition while recognising that every person brings their own history, circumstances and needs.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I aim to create individualised herbal formulations and practical recommendations that take the whole person into consideration.
What happens in a consultation?
An initial herbal medicine consultation lasts approximately 90 minutes.
We’ll talk through your main health concerns, medical and health history, lifestyle and anything else that may be relevant to your individual situation. I may then use some Ayurvedic or TCM analysis techniques and iridology to further understand your body and how your system is functioning.
From there, I can develop a personalised approach which may include individual herbal formulations, dietary and lifestyle recommendations and other naturopathic support where appropriate.
Follow-up consultations are approximately 45 minutes, giving us time to review how you’re getting on, make adjustments and discuss any changes or developments.
Where I practise
Herb Hive is based just outside Collooney, Co. Sligo, providing herbal medicine and naturopathic consultations in a calm, private setting.
I work with clients from Sligo and the surrounding areas, as well as people who travel to the clinic for consultations. For people from further away repeat prescriptions can be posted and follow ups can be conducted by phone or online. However the initial consultation is required in person.
Who is Herb Hive for?
Herb Hive is for people who are looking for a more individual approach to their health and wellbeing and are interested in exploring herbal medicine and naturopathy as part of their overall healthcare.
People come to me with a wide range of health concerns and personal goals. Every consultation is different, and recommendations are tailored to the individual rather than following a standard treatment plan.
If you’d like to find out whether herbal medicine or naturopathy may be appropriate for you, you can book an initial consultation online or contact mary@herbhive.ie or phone 0868936071 for more information.
