Christy Palmer
Medicinal Cannabis Consultant
Christy joined the Palo Santo team to help educate the community and provide support to those using Medicinal Cannabis. Cannabis use for mental health has increased drastically in recent years, but education around this use has not. While Medicinal Cannabis can be helpful for mental health struggles, it is often overused or misused due to a lack of information, causing more harm than good.
Christy, in conjunction with the Palo Santo team, is working to address this need and is passionate about cannabis as medicine for the mind and body. Fueled by the desire to heal her own body after numerous health challenges, she has spent the last 8 years studying cannabis biology and holds multiple certifications in the holistic use of cannabis, proper dosing, and delivery methods. Christy was an educator for Cannabis Training University & a Certified Trainer for ECS Therapy and has lectured across the state on intentional and responsible cannabis use.
With cannabis there is no one size fits all approach and navigating this journey on your own can be expensive and overwhelming. Christy offers an intuitive and individualized approach to this process and has had success working with patients who are having symptoms of pain, stress, anxiety, cancer, auto-immunity and mental health. Whether you use cannabis socially or for symptom relief, she can help guide you toward a predictable outcome.
