Those around me say I'm a force of nature, leaving legacies in my wake

I'll give you a glimpse behind the scenes.

A few weeks after my annual fall herbal conference, I drew back my beige curtain over my wooden desk, pausing my busy single-mama morning to gaze in wonder at the snowfall.

I felt a pang of tenderness as my own heartache was reflected by the beauty of white covering the garden beds, where just a month before tawny calendula blossoms waved beside scarlet bee balm and purple coneflower. 

Founder and director of the nation’s largest herbal conference, I brought together over a thousand women annually. In that stronghold of women’s empowerment, I worked shoulder-to-shoulder with mentors and elders in the field to unravel internalized oppression and expand holistic approaches.

At the same time, I was struggling with my own health—not only physically, but also emotionally.

Trauma and drama had spiraled into heartbreak and health crises

Stress-induced illnesses popped up left and right. Exhaustion, my constant companion. My relationships were in shambles, my temper short.

As I sipped a cup of nettle infusion, I was sobered once again by the big picture. 

Over my decades of working with women—and through my own healing journey—I saw firsthand the health impacts of emotional issues. Threads of stress and complex trauma were woven among my own diagnoses.

I was steeped in holistic tools, colleagues, and resources. 

Parallel with my profession with the plants, I’d engaged in lifelong study of inner growth and healing. Devouring modalities from recovery and meditation to psychology and communication. I found some heavy on patriarchal thought, others on spiritual bypassing.

I longed for clarity, to boil it all down to  the core of healing from the inside out—through an earth-based, woman-centered lens.

I set out on a quest to go deeper, to the roots of healing

I carved out space to think and to feel. To rest and to heal. 

I grieved. I sorted. I self-mapped my internal landscape—reflected by the cycles of nature.

Ultimately, I synthesized feminist psychology with holistic healing through the eyes of a naturalist. Grounded in the wisdom of my trusted mentor, nature herself.

With the tools I developed, I repeatedly exclaimed to myself with delight, "I'm getting un-confused!” And I was. Breaking through old patterns. Resolving long-term traumas. Stepping into my clarity and power. 

Roadmap in hand, I found my way home to myself (and to the love of my life!)

Grounded and replenished. With healthy boundaries. Authentic intimacy. Meaningful priorities.

Now I've witnessed similar transformations in countless students—women of all walks of life...

Whether young or old, black or white, straight, queer or lesbian. Many healers themselves: therapists, doctors, midwives, herbalists, leaders in their fields.

Finding, at last, clarity on how to discern what's healthy for their heart and soul. 

I'd love to show you how to engage your connection with the Earth as your inner compass. The wise woman way.

Together, we'll navigate your road home to yourself and your truth. You'll gain practical, accessible tools and techniques crafted by, for, and about women. 

Think of it as a medicine chest for your mind, heart, and soul.

Known as a trailblazer in the holistic healing community, I've supported many thousands of women on their healing journeys.

• Over 30 years as a visionary teacher of women's wisdom and holistic healing
• 15 years as founder and director of Southeast Wise Women Herbal Conference (the biggest herbal event yet!)
• 20 years running Red Moon Herbs, making medicines from local plants for women’s health
• Academic background  in biology and feminist spiritual psychology

Drawing from my background in herbalism and knowledge of the natural world, combined with a feminist approach to spiritual psychology, I've created unique earth-based, woman-centered tools for inner growth and healing.

Thus I weave science and spirit to provide online programs and resources that support you in cultivating a more fulfilling and meaningful life—grounded and replenished.
