My Journey: From User Experience to Herbal Wisdom
My journey into herbalism wasn't a planned career change—it was a personal quest for healing. As a Director of User Experience with a background in design and development, I spent years helping people navigate digital systems. However, after experiencing a serious health challenge that conventional medicine couldn't solve, I turned to the world of herbal remedies and found a profound path to wellness.
This pivotal experience ignited a deep passion, transforming what began as a homeschooling project for my child into a life-changing practice. It solidified my belief in the power of plant medicine and led me to dedicate myself to becoming a spiritual herbalist.

A Practice Rooted in Tradition and Place
My work is a unique fusion of my personal heritage, the land I live on, and a holistic, spiritual approach to healing. My practice is not only about the plants themselves but about the deep, interconnected systems that guide their use.
Spiritual Lineage: My practice is deeply informed by Caribbean traditions and the wisdom of the Orisha. As a child of both Oshun and Oya, I am guided by these powerful forces and am mentored by the Orisha Aja on my herbalist journey.

Grounded in Place: I center my work on the powerful plant life of the Pacific Northwest. While I will use plants from other places when needed, I believe in connecting to the land and its local healing properties.
Holistic Intuition: I weave the wisdom of the Native American Medicine Wheel and the study of Tarot into my work. This allows me to approach problem-solving with a holistic perspective, gaining deeper insights into the spiritual and energetic roots of a person's condition.

The Bridge from Digital to Botanical
My years in User Experience taught me to understand complex systems, to empathize with a person's needs, and to find elegant solutions to difficult problems. I now apply this same holistic, human-centered approach to my work with plants. Just as a good user interface should feel intuitive and seamless, a healing journey should be thoughtfully designed to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
My mission is to help others find their own path to wellness by weaving together ancient traditions, intuitive guidance, and the wisdom of the earth.
Although… from time to time I do still dip my toes into art & tech.
