I volunteered with the Veterans Resiliency Holistic Clinic under HWB from 2017-2022, in addition to private clients. While I stepped away from clinical practice in 2022 to focus on education, clinical aromatherapy is still a part of the work I do in how I volunteer for HWB and managing a donation network where herbal supplies are prepared, labeled, packaged, and shipped around the US. This work relies on supporting trauma, sleep, anxiety, and other needs while also responding to natural disasters or to underserved communities in need. Health Justice is our focus, and we must continue to learn and expand our knowledge in order to do this work. I make hundreds of aromatherapy products for free clinics each month, and we look to accessibility, ease of use, GRAS, and other inclusive guidelines in making products available to communities. If you are in the Dane County, WI area and are interested in volunteering to help manage our US Donation Distribution network which includes not only growing/harvesting/managing herbs, but also managing incoming donations and making products as needed/requested around the US. We manage significant donations every month, and can always use help. Find out more here.
In my home we have neurodiversity, disability, and LGBTQIA2+ folks, so those topics are close to our heart and our commitment to make herbalism and aromatherapy truly inclusive and accessible to all, not just abled folks.
