The Full Story
The journey began over 40 years ago, when my grandmother handed me a warm cup of chamomile–mint tea for a stomach ache. Not Tums, not Pepto—just tea. I remember thinking it was unusual, but I drank it anyway… and almost instantly felt better. The comfort of that warm cup stayed with me, and soon I was asking for chamomile even when nothing hurt at all.
​
Ten years later, as a biology major on the pre-med track, I learned that more than half of modern pharmaceuticals originate from plants. That single fact lit a spark in me. I fell in love with the intelligence of plants—their chemistry, their history, and their quiet, steady ability to support the body. My path eventually shifted away from traditional medicine, but my devotion to herbalism never faded.
​
Over the years, I’ve learned that plants, whole foods, and regular movement work together to help the body return to balance. And in balance, the body can do extraordinary things—sometimes with pharmaceuticals, sometimes without, and often with less strain or side effects. I also came to understand how many people don’t realize that much of what they eat isn’t truly food, and how deeply our bodies struggle to process what they were never designed for.
​
Today, I’m not a doctor—but I am an Integrative Health Practitioner, a Board Certified Master Herbalist, and a licensed member of the Guardian Ecclesiastical Holistic Association. I’m also on my way to becoming a Board Certified Natural Health Practitioner later this year. Every day, I have the privilege of supporting people on their path to better health, and I truly love the work.
