My life as a healing professional spans five decades: I first worked as a registered nurse and as a family nurse practitioner. Seven of those years were in the Himalayas of northern India, in Kathmandu Nepal, and in Germany. Late in my career, I turned toward clinical herbalism, studying with Rosemary Gladstar. Upon completing my formal herbal education, I was fortunate to have two years of clinical mentoring with Paul Bergner. Alongside my clinical training, I began my herbal practice, and was accepted as a Registered Clinical Herbalist of the American Herbalist Guild. Then, in 2020, the Bach Flower Remedies opened up a new and profound direction for my career and for my life.
