🌿providing a gentle, healthy alternative
🌿being realistic with goals and expectations
🌿helping others find relief
🌿giving people the time and space to share their experiences

These are some of the reasons I love being a clinical herbalist 💚

Just saying…

I’ll take quality over cost anytime- especially with herbs.

I am blessed to have the space to grow my own herbs.

But there are A LOT of herbs you can grow in A LOT of places that don’t take up too much space.

Learn more about how to grow herbs in a variety of spaces at one of my classes!

A lot of people are familiar with herbalists.

Not many people understand what it looks like to work with a CLINICAL herbalist.

I do not:
🌿use someone else’s protocol or pre-packaged supplement ‘plan’
🌿use AI to come up with your formula
🌿use crusty herbs from cheap companies

I do:
🌿spend hours before and after your appointment working on your case
🌿formulate your herbs on a case-by-case basis. No client formula is ever the same!
🌿grow my herbs just for you, or I order them from a reputable farm
🌿spend time holding space for you to ask your questions as I work to find the ROOT of your health concerns.

Consults range from 30 minute minis to the full 1:1 intake and package options.

I offer in person or tele-health 😁

My little makeshift greenhouse blew open while we were in Peru (and everything froze) but my dumb little plastic cloches are doing the trick! At least…the ones that didn’t get blown away 🤣

When I eat with the seasons I try to stick to what’s available, and that usually doesn’t include lettuce this late- usually just some spinach or kale. This must be a cold- hardy variety that I didn’t realize was so hardy!

My half- assed winter gardening, which is never very good due to the half- assedness, is a fun treat sometimes.

Cone say hi! I’ll be slinging my wares at Carroll Community College till about 3 today.

Haven’t done ANY vending since the summer and don’t have any others planned, so come grab your herbal goodies while you can.

Favorite (for right now) herb books!

When people ask me how to know if a source is ‘good’ or not, I used to be able to say, if it’s a book, it’s probably more reputable than some random blog. Not so these days.

Now we need to focus on the author- if that even IS a real author! What a pain just to gain some herb knowledge. You can’t trust anything anymore!

When the herb gardens go to bed, it’s time to move indoors and tincture my dry herbs for a super dank extract made with a percolation cone.

It’s a little more work than working with fresh herb tinctures, which I just weigh and basically shove into a jar. But it is nice to have plant material that isn’t as time- sensitive as fresh herbs, and it creates such a quick and clean end product.

Supporting liver health is crucial during the holiday season with all indulging- and I LOVE to indulge from time to time. Give me a glass of wine and a piece of cake by the fire and I’m a happy camper! Just don’t forget to balance with more movement and nutrient- dense food, too!
