​Herbs are truly magical. As a child, I remember rows of lemon balm surrounding the garden to deter pests. Many years later, my mother and I learned that this herb is the queen of the mint family. Lemon Balm has properties that help aid the nervous system, soothe digestion, and has traditionally been used as an antiviral and an antispasmodic. There are so many healthful properties in one small plant!

 

I began to study herbs on my own in 2015. Two years later, I signed up for a beginner's home herbalist series with Maria Noel Groves and went on to complete her Beyond Home Herbalist series and Advanced Home Herbalist series. I started attending herbal conferences, became a member of the American Herbalists Guild, and explored every podcast and herbal medicine book that I could find.

​​

What started as a hobby soon became a path to healing. I developed allergies to almost all perfumes and chemicals I came in contact with. I discovered that I have intolerably low anemia. My nervous system was suffering from a number of challenging life events. Throughout all of these challenges, I used herbs to support my mind and body. I strongly believe in the power of herbs to heal.

​

I am currently studying through The Herbal Academy. I have a deep awareness that each day I learn something fascinating and more interesting about the herb world. Herbs are magical plant allies that offer us support and healing. I hope that you discover the same magic in the plants that I have experienced and my wish is that you learn something new about the plants and yourself each day!
