ABOUT ME
Fourteen years ago, I began my studies as a herbalist after my children were chronically ill. I was getting tired of urgent care visits and doctor’s offices. So I began researching and studying blog posts. After hours of reading, I reached in my pantry for common spices like cinnamon, grabbed the closest honey jar and began combining things. Voila! Not only did i make something that would soothe their coughs and ease their scratch throats, but it tasted good and it was easy to prepare. Shortly after this experiment I found a great team of doctors in Pediatric Naturopathic medicine, Chinese medicine, and Homeopathic medicine. I surrounded myself with like-minded moms and learned from them as well. Soon after that I started my studies at Vintage Remedies with Jessie Hawkins, now Jessie Cavanaugh, studying Western herbalism and Evidence-based herbalism. Since then I have continued on to get certifications in AromaPsychology, Pharmacology of Food (how your food interacts and behaves in the body), Master Herbalism, Clinical Herbalism, and most recently became a Restorative Health Practitioner specializing in gut health.
Several times a year you can find me at conferences, up to my elbows in the soil, feeding my ducks, playing with my dogs, or deep in a book.
I am a non-licensed practitioner, meaning I cannot diagnose, treat of cure disease nor can I prescribe medications. If you work with me in clinic we will talk about herbal and nutritional strategies that can be used to identify and address underlying dysfunction.

Her oils are easy to make and really, REALLY effective. Especially the Owie Balm which made my kids bumps, bruises, cuts and sores vanish.
Highly recommended, easy to follow, and responds super fast to an email.
I’ve known Jennifer for about seven years now. Her sincerity, passion, willingness to help others, and knowledge of herbs has helped out our family many times. Her bug balm is one of our favorites! When I got pneumonia, she was one of the first people I contacted for help. The tea she recommended helped me be able to breathe. We have been very grateful to her for her health suggestions many times.
