My work is dedicated to renewing the sacred, life giving connection between plants and people and facilitating the opportunities for healing that are all around us.
My 20+ years as a practicing herbalist allow me to care for and support clients and students with both evidence-based and intuitive clinical skills and herbal knowledge.
I work 1:1 with clients, teach classes and apprenticeships, and offer mentorship to herbalists and other health care practitioners.
The plants have blessed me beyond my wildest dreams, and I’m here to share that magic with you.
1:1 CONSULTATIONS
I work with brilliant people who feel stuck. Whether navigating chronic illness, old habits, deep fatigue, big life changes, or simply a deep knowing that there is more you have to offer to the world that you haven’t yet accessed ~ the plants and I are here to strengthen, revitalize, and uplift you so that you can shine.
Our work focuses on uncovering and healing the root causes of illness and imbalance and shifting the terrain of the body so that vitality and health can return.

SELF-PACED ONLINE CLASSES
As a mother of two and a clinical herbalist, I created this class to share practical knowledge about the herbal allies that can help us move with strength and grace (and good sleep!) through our pregnancies and postpartum. Staying healthy, rested, and well-nourished during pregnancy, as well as focusing on deep healing and strengthening during our fourth trimester (postpartum) and beyond, is crucial for us to enter motherhood - be it our first, second, or fourth time - with the energy, vitality, and calm we need to take good care of ourselves and our babies.
This class consists of a 1.5 hour live video recording + a 26 page slideshow that includes information on specific herbs, recommended dosages, and much more.
This in-depth class covers herbal approaches to the following facets of Lyme Disease: deterrence, infection, acute care, and chronic support. Learn about the most potent plant medicines for Lyme borreliosis and common co-infections, as well as lifestyle and dietary guidelines to strengthen immune health and improve quality of life, whether the goal is avoiding or healing from a long-term Lyme infection.
The Lyme saturation in which we find ourselves is a powerful teacher about post-antibiotic medicine, the incredible ability of bacteria to adapt and survive, and the sophisticated movement of plant medicines through ecosystems and the human body. Most of all, it is about how to successfully turn to the plants for healing. The Lyme complex of infections, the ticks, the forests and fields, do not have to be our enemies – in fact, they are our teachers. Once we understand what's happening in our bodies when faced with these infections, we don't have to feel afraid – we know what to do; we can move toward healing.
Suitable for herbalists and other health care professionals as well as the general public.
This class includes a 2.5 hour video recording of a live class + 20 pages of detailed information, strategies, recipes, and more.
Each and every part of our external body is relaying messages about what's happening on the inside. We are receiving constant information from the inside out about where we could use some strengthening, some detoxing, some warmth, or cool, moisture, nutrition, rest, and so much more.
Brought to the awareness of modern western herbalists by William LeSassier and others, and fleshed out (excuse the pun) by Chris Marano, Margi Flint, Matthew Wood, and other contemporary herbalists, face and body diagnostics have once again become an indispensable part of the practice of many health care practitioners.
Eye troubles? Snappy joints? Let's take a look at your liver. Learn about where each of the organ systems opens to the face/head and tongue, how to read a person's thyroid health in their neck, how the shine in our hair and the ridges in our fingernails, or lack thereof, are indicative of kidney and adrenal function, how our tone of voice reflects the health of our organs, even what butt pimples are trying to tell us about our lungs.
Pro tip: have a little mirror handy during this class!
This is a 2 hour video recording of a live masterclass.
In this 1.5 hour video course you will learn about my top 10 must-have medicinal garden plants that are easy to grow, safe to use, simple to harvest, and will make a solid foundation for your home apothecary.
