I am a practitioner of herbal medicine, a heart-led herbalist who uses a holistic and biomedical approach to optimize your health. My practice includes bespoke herbal consultations, herbal remedies, workshops, foraging walks, and health talks. I am an accredited member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists (NIMH), the oldest professional body of herbal practitioners.
I have a bachelor’s degree in biology and a research master in ecology and worked in that field for a few years. I see our bodies as living ecosystems rooted in the land and air, which mirror the land. We share common elements, intricate interconnectivity, and a reliance on balance and harmony with the Earth. Our health is deeply intertwined with the health of Earth, which means that once our planet’s natural systems are degraded, poisoned, or depleted, it negatively impacts us on a cellular level.
I wish for herbal medicine to support you back to wellbeing, but my greatest wish is for you to feel connected to our planet and reciprocate this nurturing relationship. One cannot truly heal without acknowledging the interconnectedness of life. Once the frontier of personal and environmental health dissipates, it unveils a mycelium network of care, fostering co-existence, cooperation, and resilience.
I believe in people’s autonomy and sovereignty in choosing, foraging, making, and employing medicinal plants. Plant medicine has always been the medicine of the people. However, sometimes, being taken care of, having someone else support you in your herbal journey—someone who will choose the right herbal protocol and take away the burden of doing the research because you feel too poorly or your condition feels too complex and overwhelming—are some of the numerous reasons you would want to see a medical herbalist. I will be here for you then.
In addition, I offer wellbeing workshops that deepen your understanding of herbal medicine and its benefits.
