Fast forward to 2017 when I left my hospital job and, with the kids a little older, with more time on my hands, I started my garden adventure. Watching plants grow from seeds to produce was mesmerizing.

​

During this time, though, I was also dealing with various health issues of my own, including high blood pressure, Dupuytren’s Contracture (a disease where the tendons in my hands were becoming thick and tight, making it hard for me to grasp things), a lifetime of nervous system dysregulation, and I faced the prospect of a third surgery on my hip. 

​

Frustrated with conventional treatments, and getting passed around from doctor to doctor,  I turned to acupuncture and explored the healing power of herbs. 

​

I quickly began to realize how vast the world of herbalism is and felt overwhelmed. In the end of 2020 and amidst a global pandemic I decided to sign up for an 8 month long beginner herbalism course to have more structure in my learning. Little did I know at the time, this course would be the beginning of a lifelong love of herbalism and set me on a new career path.

 

Continuing on to complete 2 more years of herbal education, deepening my herbal knowledge and also gaining insights into human health along the way. I began growing medicinal plants, making positive lifestyle changes, and experiencing remarkable improvements in my own health. 

​

My passion for herbalism led me to a clinical practice, where I now work one-on-one with clients, partnering with them to address their health concerns. I’m committed to harnessing the healing potential of plants and empowering my clients to regain control of their health through herbal remedies.
