As a Clinical Vitalist Herbalist,
I am trained in the Ancient traditions of Unani Tibb medicine, which roots back to ancient Greek medicine based on the teachings of Greek physicians, Hippocrates and Galen. My education was centered on the belief that we humans possess a force of life within us that waxes and wanes respectively to how well we listen to and treat our bodies. With this Vital force, we have the power to heal and recover from illness and disease, and to witness this life in an energized, strong, and humble fashion.
In my practice, I aim to only use regional and homegrown herbs, and give thanks and offerings to Nature. Nature provides all the tools we could ever need to live our best lives and I believe it is crucial to live in a way that reciprocates the generosity of nature in order to restore the gifts she gives for, without her, there would be no medicine.
My Story
I was blessed to have spent my childhood on 12 acres of country land, living in a straw-bale house that my family built. Our land offered us winter streams, summer meadows, and endless avenues for creativity and imagination. We gardened daily, tended animals, and explored the woods. Whether I was smearing native clay all over my body, planting seeds in the garden, taking the compost to the chickens, or going for a walk in nature, I always wanted to be close to the wild.
When it came time for me to leave home and go to college, it became painfully clear that I was not on the right path. As soon as I got a taste of the rat race, I developed a yearning for a life more entwined with nature. I dropped out of University after one year, started working on an organic farm and further explored my passion to live off the land in harmony with the Earth. Not too long after, I found herbalism and decided to attend the Acorn School of Herbal Medicine. After immersing myself in clinical herbalism, I found massage and realized the power of healing the body through touch. From that point on, I have lived grounded in knowing that I am living the life I envisioned for myself since childhood.
When I’m not actively working on my business, I am hiking or running with my two dogs, paragliding, tending to my house and small garden, or mixing up magic in my Apothecary. This kind of personal and professional diversity helps me keep the wheels of life moving.
I strive to offer a deeply healing space where the stress of day to day life can be left at the door and the pursuit of living an ease-full life aligned with your passions and dreams can be pondered. The human body is our only vehicle through this experience on Earth, I am passionate about making it a pleasurable, magical, and rewarding adventure.
I am here to tend to your body in a non-judgmental way and give you the resources you need to be aware, trusting, and resilient along your journey.
