My personal lineage is half Polish/Czech & half a blend of British-Irish-French/German, Spanish/Portuguese & a bit of Senegambian/ Guinean & Indigenous American. I honor & respect all cultures & traditions of herbalism & am always eager to learn from as many traditions as possible- at present my formal training background is predominantly traditional European-American/Western with highlights of Ayurvedic Medicine. My studies began in 2005 with Wendy Snow Fogg that then extended out into many other herbal teachers & trainings outlined in my resume. I’d like to offer special thanks to Sajah Popham for bridging my love & obsession with herbalism-astrology-tarot & ayurveda, Anne McIntyre for deepening my love & understanding of Ayurveda in the realm of Herbalism & Chrisopher Penczak, Jacquelin Guiteau, Anya Tyutyunik & Amikaeyla Gaston for sharing their vast & invaluable knowledge of the deeper spiritual aspects of herbalism & healing.
While some may claim these titles, there is no such thing as Master or Senior Herbalist. In this practice of integrative, Spirit & Plant led medicine, you are forever a student as the plants are forever sharing new ways to work together for the good of all. And for that I am deeply grateful.
