I am a regular contributor to online and print magazines and publications. See a sampling of my topics and recently published articles, below. 

Feature Article Writer

I am an experienced and dedicated wordsmith with a proven track record as a regular contributor to both online and print publications. My writing style is clear, engaging, and tailored to captivate readers while imparting knowledge.

With a deep-rooted understanding of herbalism, aromatherapy, hydrosols, and flower essences, I bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. I love making these concepts accessible to readers of all backgrounds and experience levels. I also have hands on practical experience as a clinical herbalist and certified aromatherapist who has worked in disaster relief, free clinics, and humanitarian aid. 

One of my passions lies melding medicinal and aromatic plants with permaculture and regenerative practices. Through my writing, I not only highlight the significance of sustainable approaches but also provide insights into how these practices can shape a better, greener future. Whether it's unraveling the intricacies of permaculture or diving into the innovative realm of herbal entrepreneurship, I craft narratives that resonate and inspire.
