I remember all too well the days of being in chronic pain, taking hella pills that made me feel worse, trying all sorts of diets that didn’t suit me, remembering traumatic experiences, and thinking that I was too young for my body (marriage and life) to be falling apart.

Tami was the one who had the foresight to get us stop pursuing the same dead-end bandaids (isn’t she the best 💞)! And ever since then, now over 10 years ago, my life has been consumed by all-things-healing and plants - they saved my life.

I get asked all the time how I got into herbalism and healing work, so in this super short video, I'm sharing some of my backstory, the diagnoses that almost got me, and the transformation I've experienced with herbal medicine that I know you can experience too.
