Summary

Herbalist, medicine maker, and plant devotee with a Bachelor of Science in Herbal Sciences from Bastyr University. My path is rooted in reverence for the plants and the relationships they cultivate with people. I am skilled in crafting tinctures, salves, teas, lotions, and spagyric preparations, guided both by phytochemistry and the energetics of each plant. Alongside my herbal work, I bring years of leadership and management experience; balancing organization with care, and efficiency with heart. My passion is to create spaces where people can fall in love with plants, discover their wisdom, and deepen their connection to healing.
