Specializing in Unique and Individualized Integrated Herbalism

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 wild crafting my own herbal remedies, but giving educational plant identification walks and talks to the public.

Kids are especially receptive to this ancient knowledge. The kids involved in the Minneapolis Youth Farm and Market Project, various home school groups, and other little people who have enjoyed my classes all agree that learning medicinal and edible information about these abundant plants is a highlight of the season! Adult classes year round include practical herb application, and two intense sessions in spring and late summer for more serious students that are interested in identification, collection, storage and application of the seasonal herbs.
