About Me
My two grandmothers were herbalists, my mother is a gardener, and I grew up blessed with the Virginia wilderness as my playground and sanctuary.
Like many practitioners, I came to this path through my own journey of self-healing, as well as the desire to help my family, friends, and animals. I work with dogs and cats as well as people.
I trained extensively with acclaimed herbalist Robin Rose Bennett in her 4 year apprenticeship program, as well as an additional two years in her clinical practice program.
I studied with renowned herbalist Lata Cheitri Kennedy during my year and a half apprenticeship at her herb shop and community gathering place, Flower Power Herbs and Roots in Manhattan’s East Village.
I have also had the opportunity to benefit from the teaching of herbalist Matthew Wood.
I am a member of the American Herbalist’s Guild.
I am a certified permaculture designer who strongly believes that we have the ability to adjust our habits and technologies to comfortably live in a way that no longer harms the earth, but instead promotes regeneration.
