Plants

Plants have been my greatest teachers and companions on the path of healing. Over the years, I’ve studied with a range of teachers—from clinical herbalists to indigenous healers—each sharing their unique ways of listening to and learning from the natural world. I weave this collective wisdom into my work, helping others discover the plants that best support their body, spirit, and way of life. Whether through herbal education, personalized consultations, plant walks, or medicinal kitchens, I’m here to help you build a living relationship with nature—one that nurtures balance, awareness, and well-being in every season.

Each class is designed to build confidence and curiosity, helping you create a personal relationship with the plants around you. Whether you’re new to herbalism or ready to deepen your practice, you’ll gain tools for lifelong learning and self-care.

Plant Consults

Every person has a unique relationship with plants—and every body has its own rhythm. In personalized plant consultations, we’ll explore your wellness goals and design a plant path that supports your physical, emotional, and energetic needs.

Drawing from years of study with clinical herbalists and indigenous healers, I’ll help identify the plants that align with your constitution, lifestyle, and current season of life. You’ll receive a custom plan that may include herbal formulas, nutritional guidance, and plant-based rituals to help you feel more grounded, balanced, and connected.

Offerings Include:

  • 75-minute initial consultation (in person or virtual)

  • Personalized herbal recommendations and guidance

  • Follow-up sessions for adjustments and continued support

  • Integration of plants into cooking, self-care, and mindfulness practices

Medicinal Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the most sacred spaces for healing. It’s where nourishment, creativity, and intention meet—and where plants can become part of daily life in the most natural way. In these sessions, we explore how to use food as medicine, blending the wisdom of herbalism with the joy of cooking.

You’ll learn how to incorporate herbs into meals, teas, broths, and tonics that support vitality, digestion, mood, and immunity. Together, we’ll create recipes and routines that align with your body’s needs and the rhythm of the seasons. Each session is hands-on and personal—whether you want to build a medicinal pantry, learn herbal preparation techniques, or reimagine your relationship with nourishment.

These kitchens are about more than cooking; they’re about connection—finding balance, pleasure, and wellness in the everyday act of feeding yourself well.

Offerings Include:

  • Private or small-group cooking sessions

  • Seasonal meal and tonic workshops

  • Custom herbal pantry and recipe development

  • Instruction in herbal preparation and food preservation techniques

  • Educational resources for ongoing home practice

FAQ

  • Not at all. My offerings are designed for all levels—from complete beginners to those deepening their practice. Whether you’re learning to make herbal teas, building a home apothecary, or exploring advanced preparation methods, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you at a comfortable pace.

  • We begin with a conversation about your health, lifestyle, and goals. I’ll ask about your patterns, preferences, and the areas of your life where you’d like more balance. From there, I’ll craft a personalized herbal plan—complete with recommendations, preparation methods, and ways to integrate plants into your daily routines. Each plan evolves with you over time and is tailored to your unique needs.

  • Safety is always a top priority. During your consultation, I’ll review your current medications, health history, and any known sensitivities. If needed, I collaborate with your healthcare provider to ensure your herbal plan complements—not conflicts with—your existing care.

  • Medicinal Kitchen sessions are hands-on, creative experiences that blend herbalism and cooking. We’ll explore ways to incorporate healing plants into everyday meals—through teas, broths, elixirs, and tonics that fit your lifestyle and goals.
