Nature is my teacher, my joy, my muse, and my sanctuary.

My Story

Have you ever wondered how plants heal—or felt a deep calling to connect more intimately with nature?
That sense of wonder sparked a transformative journey for me over 25 years ago—one that led me to study biology, naturopathic medicine, and the deep intelligence of the natural world.

I’ve spent my career in the natural products industry, bridging ancient plant wisdom with modern science and creating herbal remedies that empower people to take charge of their health. Today, as Chief Science Officer for Traditional Medicinals, I continue this mission, helping others connect with the healing power of plants in ways that nurture both body and planet.

Yet science alone couldn’t answer one of my deepest questions: how did early humans discover the healing properties of plants? The answer, I came to learn, lives in ancestral traditions that recognize plants as conscious, sentient beings. By cultivating sensory awareness, deep listening, and intuition, we can communicate with plants and form personal, reciprocal relationships—allowing them to guide, heal, and teach us in profound ways.

This wonder-filled lens led me to study plant spirit communication with wise woman teachers like Pam Montgomery and Sage Maurer. I began expanding my library of embodied knowledge, and experiencing firsthand how everyday plants can open doorways to insight, healing, and a deeper sense of belonging to a planet that so deeply needs our care and attention.

I created Planted in Wonder to help others rediscover the magic of the living Earth, remember their true nature, and bring their unique gifts into the world. Wonder is a portal to wisdom, joy, and connection, and the plants are waiting to welcome you home.
