I am a clinical herbalist and an herbal educator.  I have worked with both people and their animals with herbal medicine for the past ten years.  Being in my garden with the magical, medicinal plants inspires me to share the wisdom and healing gifts of these green beings with others. 

I feel that a good herbalist treats each person as an individual instead of as a disease.  Because of this I individualize programs for my clients to not only resolve symptoms but to create constitutional changes needed for physical, emotional and spiritual wellness.  I strive to educate people on how they can safely use herbs as part of a healthy lifestyle.

My style of practicing comes within the Wisewoman tradition of healing, which is one of compassion, simple ritual and using common herbs that heal the whole person and maintain health and healing.  I emphasize optimum nutrition and believe that when the body is nourished at a cellular level it has an intrinsic way of healing itself.

When working with clients, my focus is on you, not your dis-ease.  I like to work with simple teas, tinctures and oils.  The phrase, "food is medicine" takes on a deeper meaning when we work with the herbs as food, gently nourishing and healing you at the same time.  You can take your journey of transformation as slowly as you want, one gentle step at a time.

My practice has been influenced through my teachers, notable herbalists  Robin Rose Bennett and David Winston.  I am a supporting member of The American Herbalists Guild,  The American Botanical Council and a board member of the Northeast Herbal Association.

I look forward to working with you.
