My work weaves together holistic tools and resources to support people on their healing journey. I'm an artist, herbalist, and certified Kaiut Yoga teacher based in my hometown of Lynchburg, Virginia, at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. In my local community, I teach yoga classes, care for historic properties, and work in a special collections library connecting people to local history.

My passion for the healing arts is rooted in my academic background, which includes an undergraduate degree in sociology from James Madison University and post-baccalaureate work in fine art at the University of Pennsylvania.

My formal herbal medicine training began in 2011 with Susan Hess's Homestead Herbalism program. It was through her classes that I became anchored on my path as an herbalist. In 2014, I completed a two year extensive training course in clinical herbalism at David Winston's Center for Herbal Studies. I spent an additional year in 2015 studying with David Winston in his Therapeutics program.

In 2022, I completed 300 hours of training and became a certified Kaiut Yoga teacher. Eager to deepen my understanding of the practice, I pursued further studies with Francisco Kaiut, completing an additional 340 hours of yoga training in 2024.
