Herbalism
My work in herbalism is rooted in both study and relationship, a meeting point between ancestral knowledge and clinical understanding.
A Path of Study & Practice
I began studying herbalism over three years ago in Costa Rica, in the mountains of San Mateo, where I first apprenticed with the plants alongside teachers Sarah Wu and Lala Palmieri. That time shaped the way I approach this work, not only as knowledge, but as something lived and practiced daily.
From there, my studies continued across Guatemala and Peru, learning from different herbalists, schools, and traditions. Each place offered a different lens, but the thread remained the same, a deep respect for the intelligence of plants and the relationship we build with them over time.
Ancestral & Clinical Herbalism
Today, I continue my training in Clinical Herbalism, expanding my understanding of the body, the nervous system, and the physiological effects of plants.
My approach brings together this clinical perspective with ancestral practices that have long understood healing through observation, intuition, and connection to the land. It is not about choosing one over the other, but about allowing both to inform a more complete way of working.
Beyond Plants: Horses, Nature and the Nervous System
Alongside herbalism, I am also studying Equine Therapy, which has naturally expanded this work.
Horses, like plants, respond to subtle shifts in the body and nervous system. Together, they create a space where regulation, awareness, and healing can happen in a way that feels grounded and direct.
This work continues to evolve, but at its core, it remains simple.
Learning to listen, to observe, and to work with what is already here.
