Welcome! I am a certified clinical herbalist** and natural health counselor with roots deep in the traditions of Southern Folk Medicine. I seek health through individual wholeness, honoring the natural cycles of the body and seasons, and working with readily accessible, local plants whenever possible. I handcraft herbal products and offer classes and workshops both in person and online along with private consultations by appointment.
I am not a doctor. My goal is to gently guide and assist you on your personal wellness journey without judgment or preconceived notions. I take into consideration current health concerns, diet and lifestyle, overall state of mind, personal elemental constitution and other important factors. We will work together to formulate a natural health plan that works for you. I offer personalized assistance with herbal medicine, nutritional supplement recommendations, lifestyle modification, the art of mindfulness, and more.​
My specialties include anxiety and stress management, trauma informed herbalism, insomnia, digestion support, and managing chronic illness. Please freel free to contact me if you'd like more information, or to schedule a private consultation.

Hundreds of hours dedicated to self-study and awareness
**Derzeit gibt es in den Vereinigten Staaten keine staatlich oder bundesweit anerkannte Zertifizierung für Kräuterheilkundige. Neben Heilpflanzen und Botanik studieren viele Kräuterheilkundige auch Humanwissenschaften wie Anatomie, Physiologie und Biochemie. Einige Schulen bieten Graduiertenprogramme in klinischer Kräutermedizin an, die traditionelle Kräutermedizin mit evidenzbasierter Wissenschaft kombinieren. Viele Hochschulen bieten auch Graduiertenabschlüsse in integrativer Gesundheit an, die alternative Medizin umfassen.
Meine Zertifikate habe ich durch die persönliche Teilnahme an Phyllis Lights (MA, RH) Community and Herbal Practitioner Programs am Appalachian Center for Natural Health in Arab, Alabama, erworben (Kurse werden derzeit nur online angeboten), wozu auch klinische Erfahrung durch Live-Fallstudien und Konsultationen gehörte, sowie durch das Online-Programm Integrative Health and Medicine der University of Minnesota und das Herbal Studies Program des American College of Healthcare Sciences. Bitte kontaktieren Sie mich , wenn Sie weitere Informationen zum Zugriff auf diese Programme wünschen.
