I am a registered professional clinical herbalist who has been working with medicinal plants for 30 years, 20 of them as a clinical herbalist. I’ve run Wintergreen Botanicals Herbal Clinic and Education Center since 2007, offering consultations and teaching home herbalist through advanced clinical programs. My book Body into Balance is now a textbook or recommend reading in several herb schools and published in multiple languages worldwide. My other books cover growing herbs, sleep, gut health, and another forthcoming. I began with a degree in journalism focused on herbs, first an editor for Natural Health magazine running their fact-checking department, and I’ve freelanced for many herbal publications. From there I decided to train as an herbalist which included the Southwest School of Botanical Medicine (Michael Moore), Sage Mountain Advanced Program (Rosemary Gladstar and others). Additional training includes flower essences and functional herbal nutrition. I respect herbal traditions from many cultures and perspectives, but herbal training and focus is primarily Euro-American Western herbalism with a focus on nutrition, holistic anatomy and physiology, herbal actions, energetics, food as medicine, as well as both evidence-based and tradition/experience-based herbalism. My early and side work experiences also included managing a co-op health department, marketing, and editor-in-chief of organic nonprofit and co-op newsletters. I guest teach at MUIH, Herbal Academy, Mass Pharmacy, Green Path, for NH Naturopaths, AHG, International Herbal Symposium, CE programs for psychologists and nurses. I founded the New Hampshire Herbal Network in 2009, now an AHG chapter.
