Bioregional Herbalism & Regenerative Practices

At my herbal clinic, my practice is rooted in the philosophy of holistic bioregional herbalism. This means I focus on the healing plants that thrive in our local ecosystem and cultivate a deeper connection with the land and environment we live in. I grow many of the herbs I work with on my collaborative regenerative farm, using beyond organic methods to ensure the soil and ecosystem are nourished, not depleted. My approach to farming embraces sustainable, climate-conscious principles, ensuring every herb I grow contributes to the health of both the land and the people in my community.

In addition to growing my own herbs, I engage in ethical foraging, harvesting only what is abundant and never more than what is needed. I forage responsibly in our local regions, respecting the delicate balance of our native ecosystems and always prioritizing the health of the environment over convenience. When I do source herbs that I cannot grow or forage, I partner with small, regenerative farms to ensure the land is treated with care and respect from seed to harvest.

Native Traditions, Sustainable Sourcing, Supporting Justice

While I do currently work with some exotic herbs, I am committed to an ongoing transition towards working more and more with local and native plants. I’m passionate about Native American ethnobotanical traditions and contributing to the ecological and cultural preservation of native medicinal and cultural plants. This dedication not only honors the traditional knowledge of indigenous communities, but also ensures the survival of these plants and their wisdom for future generations.

In alignment with my values, 10% of the proceeds from my clinical practice and product sales go directly to reparations for medical access and land return to indigenous and black communities: the Southern Plains Tribal Health Board, Indigenous Rewilding, and Jubilee Justice. Another 5% supports a local herbal mutual aid clinic that I help run, where my cooperative team and I distribute herbal and nutritional support to our neighbors in need right here in Denton, Texas.

Empowering You Through Education & Personalized Care

When you come to me for a consultation, my goal is not only to address your current health concerns with immediate support, but also to empower you with the knowledge and skills you need to continue working with herbal remedies throughout your life. Each consultation is tailored to your unique health journey. I don’t just recommend herbs—I teach you why those herbs are the right fit for you, how they interact with your body, and how to integrate them sustainably into your daily life. Whether you want to grow your own herbs, prepare them at home, or purchase them sustainably, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

My consultations focus on herbal, nutritional, and lifestyle recommendations that support your individual goals. Together, we’ll find the best path forward, and I’ll ensure you understand how herbs can fit into your life in a way that feels manageable, meaningful, and personal to you. I believe in an educational, collaborative approach—one that leaves you feeling empowered, informed, and supported.
