My Craft
My journey into herbalism began as a child being raised among the trees in the forests of Western Oregon. Growing up, my parents taught me how to forage for wild plants and mushrooms, and how to grow my own food in the garden. This instilled a passion at an early age for connecting to nature through working with the plants and fungi.
As time went on, I began working in the herbal industry, starting at age 16 when I worked as a commercial wildcrafter. Since then, I have always worked in the field of herbalism as a clinical herbalist, educator, herb farmer, herb quality control specialist, and writer. I have worked for exceptional companies in the field of herbalism over the years, including Mountain Rose Herbs, Herb Pharm, Strictly Medcinal Seeds, Bastyr University, and The Herbal Academy.
I began my clinical practice in 2018 during a clinical internship with my main herbal teacher, Howie Brounstein from the Columbine School of Botanical Studies. It was at this time that I developed a passion for working with people one-on-one, utilizing herbalism and nutrition. It is the greatest feeling when you can help someone overcome health challenges they have struggled with for years through building connection, trust, and sharing the knowledge you have gained over your lifetime, learning from the plants.
During my internship, I began to specialize in prediabetic clients. My greatest success story was working with my own mother. After our protocol, 9 months later, she was no longer prediabetic, and 6 years later, she still has healthy insulin and blood sugar levels. I have helped numerous people over the years achieve similar results without having to give up their favorite foods!
