My path into herbal medicine began in the garden with my mother who was a Waldorf teacher and fostered a love of plants and natural health in me. After moving to the Pacific Northwest in 2011, I immersed myself in organic farming, mycology, and permaculture on Whidbey Island, deepening my understanding of plant ecology, sustainability, and herbal cultivation.
I later transitioned into the legal field, where I created medical chronologies of patient’s care for a brain injury law firm, an experience that gave me deep insight of the paths that the western medical system sent patients down and sharpened my insight into the gaps and limitations in conventional care. It was during this time that I began studying herbalism seriously, combining my formal education with hands-on experience to develop a practical, clinical approach to healing.
I went on to manage a busy naturopathic clinic in Seattle while completing my training as a clinical herbalist. Working alongside naturopathic doctors further expanded my knowledge of integrative care, pathophysiology, and the therapeutic use of botanicals.
Today, through Moss Herbalism, I offer personalized herbal consultations that draw from years of study, clinical collaboration, and land-based wisdom. I specialize in creating practical, holistic wellness plans that fit into modern life, helping clients reconnect with their health through medicinal plants and evidence-informed strategies.
