Krista is a clinical western herbalist, medicine maker, educator and a professional member of the American Herbalists Guild. Her passion is passion is building, healing, and nourishing connections between her clients and their unique herbal allies.

We all have receptors for plant medicines that are linked to our ancestral lineages and global histories. Witnessing ourselves as part of the world around us allows us to connect and find balance with the natural rhythms of the world. When we see ourselves as part of the whole we can acknowledge where we are and bridge Science and Spirit in healing.

As an herbalist, Krista reviews a client's whole self using constitutional, elemental, energetic, historical, and body-systems approaches influenced by pulse and tongue assessments. Through their work together she develops a personalized protocol for specific issues or overall support. Herbal remedies may be in the form of tinctures, teas, oils, vinegars, salves, flower/gem essences, etc. and complemented by physical activities or spiritual practice and ritual.

Discovery Call - 15 Minutes - Free

Interested in herbal medicine and wonder if herbs could work for you? Let’s connect and briefly explore how herbal medicine can support you in your daily life. 


Flower Essence Consultation - 50 Minutes - $66

Flower Essences are remedies infused with the unique vibrations of flowering plants. They are used to navigate emotional, physical, and spiritual transformations and work gently over time. I use them to ‘awaken the memory’ of our cells by vibrating at a frequency we recognize for emotional healing. Clients will go home with individualized flower essence formula. 


Clinical Herbal Consultation - Introductory - 1hr 45 min. $188 

Initial consultations are 1.5-2 hours of compassionate and in-depth constitutional intake and interview designed to give insight into the way that your body systems are working together. This includes your immune, digestive, nervous, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and reproductive systems, family and personal histories, as well as pulse and tongue assessments. I do not diagnose, rather, inquire, and together we will develop a healing plan. Healing plans focus on personalized herbal formulas for a specific issue or overall support and may include teas, tinctures, supplements, ritual, and more.  We will find the right herbal allies for you!
