Walking in the woods identifying trees with my grandfather as well as time spent with my grandmother as a child stoked a passion for herbs and natural health from an early age.  My interest in the body and herbs led me into the medical field, and I am a “retired” Registered Respiratory Therapist with a COPD Educator Certificate. 

 

Over the years, I have increased my knowledge through copious amounts of book reading and trial and error with myself, my family and my friends.  In later years, I have taken certificate programs and learned from various herbalists either in-person or through their teaching at conferences and other resources.

 

In preparation for Registry with the American Herbalist Guild and to feel  confident entering into full time practice, I mentored with DR. Susan Fidler, a Phytotherapist, RH (AHG) and ND for 18 months as well as seeing clients out of her office for another year.​

​

My client population consists of all ages and health concerns.  I make recommendations for both acute and chronic imbalances on a weekly basis and have many challenging cases that I enjoy helping clients overcome to optimize their health.  

​

I like to think that we are ALL on the journey and I am here to facilitate balance and health along the way as clients learn how to navigate their unique makeup and optimize their vitality.
