Bringing you closer to balance through nature.
Whether you are looking for support with a specific experience you are having or are considering adopting a more holistic lifestyle, I specialize in meeting you exactly where you are and coming alongside you on this journey.
Through my in depth consultations, we will take a look at the pieces that contribute to your vitality – diet, healthy movement, restorative rest, emotional centeredness, environmental health, positive relationships, any symptoms you are experiencing, etc. Then, we will create a wellness plan together which includes goal setting, working with me on a continued basis with goal refinement, and even food shopping together if that is part of your plan. Plans include components of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Western, Ayurvedic, Chinese food therapy, medical qigong, with modern holistic tools and techniques.
Another aspect of my services is Integrative Wellness & Life Coaching. Through this lens, you can be coached holistically through a combination of modalities or inclusive approaches to empowering towards wholeness in the entire person; mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.
If you are feeling drawn to a certain style of support, I’d love to know. I can be your confidant and create your own unique plan, blending the two services above to what may benefit you the best. I can additionally offer my services in any specific area for more of an ‘a la carte option.
My wellness educational journey began in 2013 when I was working on a farm in Northern California and was absolutely humbled by the power mother earth has. After being surrounded by this deep wisdom day-after-day for a few harvest seasons, I knew my calling was larger than myself and started embodying the reason I am on this earth, and that is to help others. I completed a 500-hour herbalism certificate program at Denver Integrative Massage School which highlighted all the different paths of being an herbalist and built a very strong foundation. Following this was a 220-hour advanced herbalist course at the Vital Ways Institute in Portland, Oregon. My third and fourth years of herb school were spent at Vital Ways Institute where I began to practice as a clinical holistic herbalist seeing clients from the local community.
I’ve been continuously expanding my knowledge and skills under the guidance of my mentor, Michele Collins Vergara, RH (AHG), MPH, MMQ, since 2021. Michele and I meet monthly for ongoing education and support, especially with Traditional Chinese Medicine and medical qigong. I am also a certified Integrative Wellness & Life Coach through the Integrative Wellness Academy. I additionally am Reiki certified and 200-CYT. In 2022 I became a certified Yasei Shinrin Yoku (Wild Forest Bathing/Therapy) Guide through the Wildcraft Forest School in Lumby, BC.
I am a member of the American Botanical Council, American Herbalists Guild, and the Native Plant Society of Washington.
I received a certificate in holistic ceremonies and integration through a 12-month program, VITAL, in 2024.
In June of 2024, I returned to the Wildcraft Forest School in BC, where I immersed myself in experiential learning and ancient wisdom within the realms of wildcrafting, to deepen my abilities in providing nature-based healing under my guidance.
