2) Tell us about your culinary journey.
I started as a bartender, backpacking guide, and wilderness therapist. The wonders of nature fascinated me, and inspired me to learn more about plant medicine. Today I’m now trained as a clinical herbalist. I take pride in being able to dance the medicinal properties of plants with their flavor profiles to make herbal “medicine” taste great! *Though, it’s not really medicine, because plants could never truly heal you. *Insert FDA disclaimer here.

Pacific Botanicals Herb Farm in Grants Pass, OR, and Ancestree Herbals in Twisp, WA
