About Me

Covenant Daughter of God - Disciple of Christ

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I have made covenants with my Father in Heaven to follow His Son, our  Savior, Jesus Christ. I strive to live a life of discipleship and to point others to Christ - the source of joy and peace. 

Mother of Influence following the Well-Educated Heart philosophy

I am a life long learner, passionate about education and striving to share with others the joy of learning through the Arts: music, poetry, fine art, story and nature. I seek out of the best resources; the good, the true, and the beautiful using a beauty first, heart-centered approach to learning.

Herbalist 

I began my herbalist path with my first herb book, Medicinal Herbs A Beginner's Guide by Rosemary Gladstar. I studied one herb at a time, keeping a journal that has morphed into my own personal herbal and this website. I grew and foraged for herbs and they became part of my everyday interactions. I then embarked on more formal learning through online course studies but my greatest learning is with my books, herbs, experience, and the spirit leading and guiding me. 

Herbal Education

My first course studies were through Dr. Christopher's School of Natural Healing. I earned the Family Herbalist certificate and part of the Nutritional Herbalist program when I felt I needed to change gears in my learning. I went back to personal studies with my books and herbs until later when I got my Master Herbalist from Trinity School of Natural Health. I have taken many courses from The Herbal Academy such as Botany and Wildcrafting, Intermediate Herbalist, Mastering Herbal Formulation, and fun workshops. Like George Washington Carver, I take God with me into my laboratory of learning where the spirit is my true teacher.
