I combine herbal knowledge from several different cultures including traditional Chinese medicine, Aryuvedic medicine, Native American medicine, Eclectic medicine and others, creating a careful plan for the recovery of your body's own balance.
I practiced chiropractic care for 20 years before following a passion to concentrate fully on natural herbal medicine. Many times, my recommendations will include plants that grow naturally in MN or WI (and are considered WEEDS!). I spend a large part of the spring and summer not only harvesting and wildcrafting my own herbal remedies, but giving educational plant identification walks and talks to the public.
During the Summer of 2008 I began a relationship with the kids involved in the Minneapolis Youth Farm and Market Project. Each summer during their Farm Camp stay at Philadelphia Community Farm in Osceola, WI they participate in an extensive herb walk which is particularly well received. In fact, every one of the 9 groups agree that learning medicinal and edible information about these abundant plants is one of the highlights of the visit!
