Why herbalism?
Over the last decade, I have devoted my creative direction and education towards working with herbal plant medicines, earth based nutrition & healing modalities. With my love for meditation, mindfulness based practices, movement, and nature immersion, I learned the sacred practice of wildcrafting plants to create medicine for the body, mind, & spirit. Plants merge with our consciousness and provide intel to all aspects of our existence supporting us on our path of wholeness.
I see herbalism as a form of integration. As a grounding way to integrate plant intelligence & healing abilities into our field of existence, allowing us to gather information on an energetic and cellular level to be more connected to Earth and ourselves. Herbs are complex organisms that act on body systems, energetic aspects of our emotional & physical body, directing our spirit to co creation & order. Each plant contains a unique set of chemicals, energetics that act on organ systems, and their own spirit essence.
Integrating herbal plant medicines into daily life is a special way to nourish the body, create ritual in daily mindfulness practice, balance the nervous system, connect with nature, and merge deeper with the consciousness of Earth. The intelligence of the earth is encoded in the chemical makeup of the plants, affecting our bodies in a way that brings alignment & coherence with our true nature.
The more I learn about herbalism and wildcrafting, the more held and supported I feel by nature. I love walking around in an organic ecosystem feeling truly integrated into my environment, knowing that each aspect of my body systems & spirit is connected to and supported by the plants all around me. To feel a part of their world is the best feeling I love to return to in order to ground myself & remember where I came from.
I encourage you to get to know the plants around you and feel the support they bring. I’m very excited to continue to share about herbalism & continue my personalized formulation of teas, tinctures, and oils for my clients and organizations.
