As a child growing up my greatest fear was losing my mom. Each time she went into the hospital I was terrified she would never return. Outside of my mom being ill, the ‘cure’ was almost as bad as the illness itself. To top it off she seemingly was allergic to everything, and if she wasn’t allergic the sentence almost always ended with a yet. I watched my mother suffer for over 20 years until she found a natural alternative in the late 90’s that helped her turn the corner. I have been interested in natural medicines and remedies ever since. In 2014 I was awarded my Baccalaureate degree in Integrative Therapeutic Practices from Metropolitan State University of Denver. I have been studying herbs, botanical pharmacology and formulations since 2005. In addition to being an herbalist I hold a level II certification as a Reiki Practitioner. Over the last 13 years I have made countless formulas for friends, family, and myself. I am excited to be ale to share my knowledge and passion with all of you!
