Clinical Herbalist and Creator of Delicious Elixirs

About

I am in devotion to healing justice, to wilderness, and to flavor! This work is a part of my expression. 

I’ve been practicing herbalism since 2015. I received my herbal education from the Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine, the Appalachian Center for Natural Health, and through an apprenticeship with the Herbalista Health Network.  In 2017, I co-founded Community Roots Collective, a non-profit organization that provided free herbal clinics to marginalized communities in the South. I’m also a certified end-of-life doula.

Due to my training and experience, I specialize in hormone balance, menstrual cycle support, pelvic pain, mental health, LGBTQI+ wellness, and end-of-life care. The herbalism I practice is rooted in holism, viewing the body as an interconnected system, much more than the sum of its parts.

I'm also an avid foodie and home chef, so taste is a vital source of inspiration for me. Enjoyment can, and should, be part of wellness. That includes the products we take. No more choking down nasty herbal supplements, there is a wide array of delectable flavors amongst the botanicals that support well-being.  I pour my passion for herbalism and gastronomy into my products, crafting elixirs that boost wellness, engage the palate, and can be used creatively in the kitchen.
