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 herbalism 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 a part of this work, and we must continue to learn and expand our knowledge in order to do this work. 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.
Asian Medicine Asian herbs grown in the US and North America is an area of interest. Asian medicine including TCM and Ayurveda are areas of study and interest, as are qìgōng, zazen and meditation, and handwork such as sashiko, shibori, boro, and embroidery. I also enjoy archery, accupressure, and other both mental and physical sports and activities that focus the mind and body. Find out more about what I'm growing here at Wholly Rooted.
