about me
I am an herbal educator, herbalist and wild food enthusiast. I am also a home cheese maker. I am a strong advocate for women and encouraging our connection to strong feminine energy and the wise woman tradition.
Greetings all. We are in the thick of a winter storm here in the midwest. The snow is falling and the wind is blowing. I am home, drinking tea and puttering as I love to do during the winter months. It was a bit of a shock, since the day before it got cold here, I was digging the last of the roots from the garden. I dug sunchokes and elecampane. I was very insistent that we needed to dig them that day and sure enough the next day, the ground began to freeze. I love this time of year, I love t...

the stems, the...

Enjoy. Fall blessings,

with their oakwoven baskets over their arms
scurry thru twisty tunnels u...

I posted this on the herbal wisdom tribe and thought I would include it here as well.
If this is true and I do believe it is, then how do we make sound decisions for our health? The question I like to ask, is how do I want to get there? What process do I want to go through in order to thrive? Thriving requires a journey and I know personally that I am most interested in nourishing myself and those around me. So my bottom line question no matter what other modalities I enlist is where is t...

Relocation for mysef as a bioregional herbalist (one who chooses to incorporate the plants that grow nearby) has proven to be an opportunity to connect with new plants on a more intimate level. 5 years ago I moved from the Pacific Northwest to the Midwest.
One of the plants I have been fortunate enought to build a stronger relationship with Monarda fistulosa, commonly known as Bee Balm or wild bergomot. While I grew Monarda didyma in my garden while living in Seattle, I did not harvest v...
