When supporting a partner's herbal practice creates boundary and burnout issues

My wife is a licensed herbalist and I've been her biggest supporter for years, but lately she's been treating our friends and family for everything and I'm watching her burn out while people expect free consultations and I don't know how to protect her practice without seeming unsupportive of her calling.
