“very inspiring!”
“I love your gentle energy”
“so knowledgeable yet unassuming”
“this serious class blew my mind”
These are some of the lovely words expressed by my clients and students. It touches my heart to know that I have a positive impact on the lives of others, provide a comfortable and safe container for learning and healing, and inspire a deeper journey into the world of natural and aromatic medicine and inner alchemy. My goal is to help you access your own healing resources, introduce you to new plant allies, and help light the way for your path of growth and healing.
I was born and raised in rural Sonoma County, California, close to animals, trees, ocean, and family. It is here that I learned, and continue to learn, about the gift of healing that the natural world offers. Dedicated to sharing the healing message of plants and flowers, I combine energetic and aromatic medicine to help restore harmony in body, mind, and spirit. I gratefully acknowledge the Indigenous North Americans, past and present, Pomo and Miwok, on whose ancestral homelands I am thankful to inhabit.
