I Know What It’s Like to Stop Recognizing Your Own Body.

There was a time when I was searching for answers, too.

While serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, I was exposed to toxins that later showed up in my health in ways I didn't fully understand at the time. Years later, I found myself navigating infertility and increasingly frustrated that conventional care wasn't giving me the answers or understanding I was looking for.

I wasn't looking for a new philosophy of health. I was looking for a way to understand my own body.

That search eventually led me to plants.

At first, it was curiosity. Over time, working with herbs became something much deeper. I began to see my body differently—to notice patterns, pay attention to what I was experiencing, and develop a relationship with plants that supported me through years of rebuilding my health, through my 40s, and into menopause.

What I found wasn't a quick fix.

It was reconnection.

I became more attentive to my body, more curious about what it was telling me, and more aware of the natural rhythms that influence how we feel and function. Herbs became practical tools, but they also became a doorway into a different way of paying attention.

That experience changed the direction of my life.

From Searching for Answers to Teaching What I've Learned

I went on to formally study Western Herbalism and became a Master Herbalist and National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC).

​

Today, I teach practical herbalism through workshops, retreats, online learning, and one-on-one guidance. My goal isn't to overwhelm you with information or tell you exactly what you should be doing.

I want you to understand what you're learning well enough to make it your own.

Whether you're completely new to herbs or already have a relationship with plants, I want my classes and experiences to leave you with knowledge you can actually use—how to work with herbs, how to notice what your body is telling you, and how to bring simple practices into everyday life.

​

My approach is grounded in practical herbal knowledge, hands-on learning, mindfulness, and connection with the natural world.

I also trained as an Earth Spirit Medicine™ Shamanic Practitioner, which deepened my relationship with the intuitive and energetic dimensions of healing. That work continues to influence how I teach and create experiences that invite people to slow down, pay attention, and reconnect—with themselves, with plants, and with the natural world.
