Herbal Consultations

“The path of the herbalist is to open ourselves to nature in an innocent and pure way. She in turn will open her bounty and reward us with many valuable secrets, May the Earth Bless you.” –Michael Tierra

I am a Clinical, traditional, and energetic Herbalist having completed more than 1,000 hours of study in community herbalism, advanced herbal science, clinical and professional herbalism, plant spirit medicine, energetic herbalism, and aromatherapy. I have received certification from Mimi Hernandez, MS, RH(AHG) Herbal Educator and nationally known speaker ~  Coordinator of the Appalachian Center for Ethnobotanical Studies ~ and former student of  Dr. James Duke, known as the grandfather of phyto-chemistry.  I bring compassion and knowledge to this healing art and I believe that herbs can address physical manifestations of “dis-ease” while effecting true healing to the core root of the pattern.

I am available for consultations and will assist you in choosing an herbal protocol that will boost your over all vitality and help bring balance to all systems: Physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. I will help you clarify your health issues and support your overall health and well being.

I wild craft whenever possible the amazing medicinal plants that are available in the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains where I live. Or purchase only ethically wild crafted, or organic medicinal herbs from other local herbalists or Mountain Rose Herbs, a zero waste company in Oregon.

I am not a licensed medical doctor and I do not diagnose or treat disease. An herbal consultation with me is an educational session during which you will learn about herbs that may support and enhance your health and inspire healing.

“Disease will never be cured or eradicated by present materialistic methods, for the simple reason that disease in its origin is not material. What we know as disease is an ultimate result produced in the body, the end product of deep and long acting forces, and even if material treatment alone is apparently successful this is nothing more than a temporary relief unless the real cause has been removed. …..Disease is in essence the result of conflict between Soul and Mind, and will never be eradicated except by spiritual and mental effort.  Such efforts, if properly made with understanding, can cure and prevent disease by removing those basic factors which are its primary cause.”  -Dr. Edward Bach, Heal Thyself, 1931
