Dear Medicine Worker,

Working one-on-one with clients is my favorite part of being an herbalist. I love teaching folks how to make and use the plant medicine, and I do believe that we need to reconnect to our traditions in that way. But sitting with an individual, listening to their story, and creating custom herbal formulas just for them and their unique needs and presentation is simply amazing. This is what the medicine is for… finding the right herbs for the people who need them.

For several years now I have only been able to offer consultations online. I am now happy to announce that starting this month I am joining the team of practitioners at Wholistic Therapeutics in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. For those of you who are familiar with the area, Wholistic Therapeutics is located just behind Kimberton Whole Foods. I’ll be available on Mondays, between 9 am and 3 pm, and all initial consults are 20% off for the month of February!

If you have been wanted to book an herbal consultation, but online appointments aren’t your thing, come see me. I’m so excited to finally be able to meet with folks in person. You can book with me at Wholistic Therapeutics here…

Of course, I am still offering online consults for those who are not local or need more flexibility. Reach out anytime to set up a session.

In good medicine,

April

Over on Patreon…

Patreon is where I share regular posts about plant medicine. Whether you are new to working with healing plants or an experienced herbalist, I invite you to join me in this space. You can join as a free member to check it out, or choose one of the 3 membership tiers.

Subscribers can expect at least 3 posts a month talking about how I am using the plant medicine in my own practice. These posts can be about harvesting, processing, medicine-making, or formulating. Sometimes I write about broader topics related to herbalism, and occasionally I offer live and recorded classes.

Take an Herbal Foundations course with me through Patreon!

In 2026, I am hosting my foundational herbalism course, Folk Herbalism, through Patreon. When you subscribe to the Meadowsweet Tier, you are automatically enrolled in the course. Introduction material will be posted in February, and we begin in March with monthly classes and live Q&A sessions. This is a great way to get your bearings with the practice of herbal medicine.
