To ensure this goal is met I harvest or organically-grow medicinal plants here in the Comox Valley, listening to the subtle signs of nature so that the botanicals are able to flourish year-after-year. To enhance the medicinal profile of my offerings I also purchase from organic and fair-trade suppliers, so that on the path to wellness no one is left behind. ​

My Story
I am a Herbalist, a medicine maker, but first and foremost I am a child of the earth. I learnt the stories of the forest through the ancient trees, and how to connect with plants by tending my own garden. My love for nature never dissipated, but coming to know my loved ones as I grew up fostered an interest in understanding motivations and what drives people to make the decisions they do.
Naturally, my desire for connection and curiosity of the human psyche lead me to study Psychology. I attended university where I completed courses on our local plant and animal life, indigenous medicine, mental health, counselling, and all the complexities in-between of being human. I graduated from the University of British Columbia in the top 15% of my class, achieving an Honours standing, but ultimately knew that a career in psychology would not accomodate my desire to be one with the wild.
​
Soon after my studies I decided to attend Pacific Rim College, where I completed my Diploma in Phytotherapy with Highest Honours to become a Medical Herbalist. Herbal medicine is a mix of my deepest passions; connecting with people and tapping into the wisdom of plants. Since studying herbal medicine I am constantly seeking out new ways to help people be in control of their own well-being. I work with my clients' goals to assess an appropriate treatment plan that is manageable for their lifestyle to achieve lasting results.
