Meet Your Coach

Welcome to my site! My journey into herbalism began in 1995 when I was 15 through the expert teachings of my Grandmother who was a Holistic Herbalist and Holistic Health Practitioner.

She awoke in me a lifelong passion to understand the bioactive compounds in herbs, how we can optimally extract and absorb them, and how those compounds interact with our physiology.

Where I differ from other herbalists is that I combine modern scientific research with traditional wisdom to find where they meet.

My herbal protocols and herbal sourcing guide are a distillation of my continual research, personal experimentation, and coaching of over 400 clients.

Herbal Protocols by Condition

If you've been reading online or asking AI what herbs are best for your various health goals but still don't know how to safely and effectively implement those herbs in your life, you've found the gap these protocols fill. Each one walks you through from start to finish.

And they're free! These protocols are my gift to you and to honor the legacy of my Grandmother by sharing her wisdom far and wide.

Each one covers:

~ My top recommended herbs for each condition tiered by evidence (human trials, traditional wisdom, and in vitro)

~ What form is needed to extract and absorb the bioactive compounds

~ When to consume each herb to maximize their functional benefits

~ Supportive lifestyle practices to further enhance the benefits of the herbs

Herbal Sourcing Guide

The one thing my free protocols don't include is where to buy each herb.

Organized by condition to match each protocol, my Sourcing Guide includes:

My exact picks: the specific supplier and product for each herb based on my 31 years of sourcing, using, and vetting herbs.

Which form to buy: dried herb, fresh herb, tincture, oil infusion, essential oil, or salve.

How to store your herbs: learn the best way to preserve the freshness of your herbs.

New chapters are added as each new herbal protocol publishes, and every buyer gets all future updates for free.

And what makes my Guide different from so many online is I have no affiliate links. I earn nothing if you buy any of these. They're my honest favorites and the ones I personally use and recommend to my clients.
