This week we’re highlighting two of our in person first-year clinicians:
Helena del Pesco
When Helena began studying the healing properties of plants, she experienced an overwhelming sense of gratitude paired with urgency. Our intimate and interdependent relationships with plants are fundamental to who we are as humans, yet so often overlooked. In this moment of heightened anxiety and state-sanctioned violence, Helena feels deeply motivated to share plant knowledge passed down by mothers, grandmothers, Indigenous healers, and justice seekers with anyone seeking support in connecting to plant allies and their medicine.
Lauren Thomas
As a plant ally, Lauren’s feet are rooted in ancestral traditions that honor the wisdom of plant medicine, while her grounding in the sciences keeps her deeply appreciative of the growing body of research affirming their power.
With a trauma-informed clinical approach, Lauren is drawn to places where Western medicine may not offer enough support—persistent symptoms without clear resolution and a longing for care that honors our full human complexity. She specializes in supporting burnout, anxiety, depression, postpartum mothers rebuilding their energy and sense of self, and clients seeking holistic care for complex or long-term conditions such as Type II diabetes. Her work centers on nourishment, restoration, and reconnecting clients to the wisdom and resilience already within them.
