Origins

I was always a curious, bright child. By the time I reached kindergarten, I was already reading and needing to know how and why everything worked the way it did. I picked up on things quickly and simply loved to learn. Things changed once I started school, as I submitted to the pressure to perform. Upon graduating from university in 2012, I made the first choice for myself from my heart – to travel alone to Europe for three months without an agenda— and this experience catalyzed a decade of unlearning and reconnecting with my highest expression by listening to the whispers of my soul.

After suffering from lifelong health issues, I dove into deep research and embarked upon a two-week allergy elimination diet in 2015 that sparked a spiritual healing journey centered around creating harmony between mind, body, and soul.

And for the first time in my life, I felt a deeply profound sense of self-love, confidence, purpose, and peace. 

Desiring community and space to start growing my own food and remedies, I relocated to Northern California, where I put my permaculture studies into the earth, starting gardens and saving seeds for the next four years. I cultivated and ethically wildcrafted bioregionally appropriate herbal allies, and after three years of self-study, I started Rooted Wisdom Herbals to share my passion for the healing power of plants with my community. 

Shortly after, I was blessed with a new seed to tend, a daughter.

The initiation of motherhood has offered me the opportunity to surrender more deeply into faith. 

It has called me to face, integrate, and alchemize the shadows I had been carrying. 

And now, I love to help others do the same.

I hold certifications in Permaculture Design, Yin Yoga, Y12SR, Reiki I, and am a 200hr certified yoga instructor. 

I am forever a seeker at heart, grounded by the inner wisdom of presence, yet always spiraling toward the light.

Thank you for joining me.
