You’ve done all the right things.

So why don’t you feel better?

You’ve changed your diet, tried the supplements, seen specialists, and done your best to manage stress. But you still don’t feel right.

You don’t need another quick fix. You need a plan built around you.

Ramona “Mo” Tortorilla

As a Clinical Herbalist, I provide personalized holistic care & herbal medicine via Telehealth for women, men, children, & families - to help you heal naturally.

The standard medical approach often treats symptoms, not the root-cause.

My work blends multiple healing traditions and emphasizes caring for the whole person. Think of me as part of your health care team, not a replacement!

Real Healing Stories from My Clients

  • "Hands down best decision I ever made for my health."

    My story is long and with many twists and turns, but around one of the sharpest curves was Mo. I cannot sing her praises highly enough, which all my friends will corroborate, because she's the first name that pops out of my mouth when anyone has a seemingly pesky or unsolvable health issue.

    Mo sees people far and wide, which is a godsend most might not even be aware of. Kindest, most understanding and empathetic person I've ever had the privilege of being helped by, and a wealth of knowledge and experience in her area of expertise. Hands down best decision I ever made for my health. Thanks, Mo!!

  • "Herbalist Mo has been a valuable resource for me for ten years!"

    Herbalist Mo has been a valuable resource for me for ten years! She truly listens to what you are experiencing, pursues a deeper dive where needed and then drawing upon her vast knowledge builds a customized plan just for you.

    She offers follow-up services to check-in, answers questions when you have them and always adds a bit of humor to our conversations. Thank you, Mo!

  • "Her approach with "diagnosing" also feels like therapy."

    My friends referred me to Mo. She has been a lifesaver in just the month and a half I have been working with her. I wanted some more natural solutions to my medical needs. Our first appointment we talked about my ENTIRE life and it really gave her a look into my mental and physical functions.

    She recommended a number of things that fit my intended goals of the appointment and some things, I wasn't aware could help me supplement what I was already prescribed. After a week and a half of taking the supplements she recommended, I WAS SOLD. My body just felt better. We are still working together and she anticipates recommendations will eb and flow, which I appreciated her transparency. Her approach with "diagnosing" also feels like therapy. It's been an amazing experience.

  • "Mo is my first line of defense for all things wellness related!"

    I have know Herbalist Mo for a very long time. I have been seeing her for a host of issues, stuff and things. She has also treated my now adult son from the time he was 7 or 8 and many of my friends and acquaintances over the years.

    When I hear a person mention a health concern, from menopause, to the inability to, sleep, breath, walk, talk, find peace, joy or dissipate anger I immediately introduce them to this gal! Mo is my first line of defense against the dark arts and all things WELLNESS related!

  • "Mo helped my gut when I was recovering from a year of very sick mold illness."

    I came to Mo because I mentored a doctoral scholar whose resilience was astounding. She said she worked with Mo.

    Mo helped my gut when I was recovering from a year of very sick mold illness. Most notoriously, she does not shirk an autistic person. And she’s generous, always finding the form of whatever I want to take... tincture or tablet vs capsule.
