Where It All Began
At fifteen, I began learning nherbalism through the expert training of my grandmother, a master herbalist, and holistic health practitioner. She taught me how herbs work, why they work, and how to implement them in daily life. She taught me until her passing in 2024.
Studying the World's Herbal Traditions
In college I dove deeper into the traditional systems of Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Taoism, and Indigenous wisdom, and compared it with modern clinical and scientific research.
Co-founded a Herbal Market called Green Life
I sourced high quality herbs from around the world, made herbal teas and recipes, and consulted with customers to help them find the best herbs for their health goals.
Formal Training and Credentials
I earned my Master of Arts in Nutrition and then completed certifications as a Holistic Herbalist, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Holistic Health Practitioner, and Natural Chef.
Into the Field
I began seeing herbal clients one-on-one at a health center in N. California, at an integrative pharmacy in Boulder, Colorado, and remotely for a company called Super Man Herbs (now called Lost Empire Herbs). During this time I counseled over 400 clients and learned valuable lessons on how herbs work for different bodies.

I have distilled and coalesced all of my knowledge and experiences into my herbal articles, protocols, newsletter, sourcing guide, and coaching.
