Evidence-Based Herbalism from 31 Years in the Field
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 Guides by Condition
Search for "herbs for acid reflux" — or sleep, or energy, or stress — and you'll mostly find the same recycled lists: ten herbs with an affiliate link behind every product name.
My condition-specific guides are different. Each one covers the herbs I actually use in my practice, ranked honestly on my Evidence Scale — I tell you plainly whether an herb is backed by gold-standard human trials, promising early science, or generations of traditional use. After 31 years practicing across Clinical, Western, Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Native American herbal traditions, I've learned to respect all three kinds of knowing without confusing them for each other.
You'll learn the best form of each herb, why form matters, and the lifestyle practices that make everything work better. Every Guide is written by me — not AI — contains zero affiliate links, and is updated as new research comes in. Read them free, no email address required. And when you're ready for exactly how, that's what my protocols are for.
Herbal Protocols by Condition
Knowing the right herbs for the condition you want to support is a great first step. What determines whether they actually help though is everything the my Guides leave out: how much, what time of day, in what form, in what order during a flare-up versus for prevention — and what to do when something doesn't go as expected.
That's what a protocol is. Each one takes a single health goal and gives you my complete implementation plan: precise amounts and timing for every herb, the exact form to buy, my personally vetted sourcing recommendations, and a step-by-step schedule for both acute relief and prevention.
And you're not following it alone. Every protocol includes 60 days of private Q&A with me through a secure health messaging app, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. It's the difference between owning a map and having a mentor — for less than the cost of a single consultation.
