Emergent Herbs came about as an unavoidable gesture of what I needed to practice, express and contribute to society in order to feel whole and happy. This offering was indeed an emergent need for myself and I believe, an emergent need for our planet. I woke up one night with this word “emergent” circling in my head and it began from there.
​
My offering is to empower people to be in charge of their own health.
​
I was trained and completed programs in Clinical Herbalism and Nutrition with ACORN School of Herbal Medicine (Heather Luna) and The North American Institute of Herbal Medicine (Paul Bergner).
​
My Promise;
I commit to living the principles of which I teach. I commit to nature-based practices of herbal cultivation and wildcraft collection that increase the abundance of life and health in the environment to the best of my understanding. I commit to taking care of myself and supporting my own vigorous state of physical, emotional and mental health so I can assist others on this same path. I am committed to my own growth and continued education. I am committed to developing deep and healthy relationships. I am committed to a humble lifestyle that allows for equal access to healthcare, vitality and resources for all people.
​
My Purpose;
I empower my community with creative, inspirational education and care (love) so that people are motivated to understand and transform themselves and their surrounding landscapes--nature, community, relationships, mind, body--into healthy, beautiful, vital and abundant resources. Ultimately, I want to assist in healing from the belief that we are separate from nature/earth/spirit/god.
​
From the jungles of Suriname studying forest gardens, training for Permaculture aid work in Australia, becoming a parent, a teacher, an herbalist and a nutritionist, learning how to dance, transforming my own chronic gut health issues, and many other experiences, I have gained a rich and reliable background of inspiration to share with you all. I hope I get the pleasure of working together with you soon.
