“I have always been passionate about the health field. My love for herbs and tea started me on the journey of alternative health when I was 19. I studied independently to learn how to better take care of myself.

That’s when I enrolled at Utah College of Massage Therapy, where I was a student ambassador and graduated with a 4.0 in 2013.
“In 2021, I graduated from The School of Natural Healing, where I went back to my roots of studying the medicinal properties of plants and herbs. I have met aspiring herbalists from around the globe and experienced herbalists David Christopher, Dr. Christopher Hobbs, and Dr. Earendil Spindelilus, who have taught countless people how to use herbal aids for themselves and others.”
