Welcome Love, I’m Amanda.

I like to say herbalism found me. Long before I knew the word, I was the girl with a box of Lipton tea bags, wondering what else the plants could do.

That curiosity became a path. My first apprenticeship was at the Gaia School of Healing in Vermont, studying plant spirit medicine with Sage Maurer. Since then I’ve studied with three teachers, including a year-long ritual plant apprenticeship. Along the way, I also trained as a doula, childbirth and lactation educator, and Ayurvedic postpartum doula, because so much of my heart lives with mamas and families.

I’ve worn a lot of hats. I followed every curiosity, tried new avenues, and gathered tools everywhere I went. But the plants were always home. Then, a few Samhains ago, heard a quiet call to commit to the earth and to this path, fully. It never left me. Everyday Herbalism is me answering it.

Today I’m a mama of three on the Massachusetts coast. I forage beach roses (my kids still won’t touch my rose hip vinegar), keep elderberry syrup on hand every cold season, and always add a pinch of red to my teas for luck.

This space is for the curious, busy mamas who feel a little overwhelmed by herbalism. Every podcast episode gives you one plant, one ritual, and one recipe you can actually use this week. My promise: you’ll never feel lost here, and you’ll always leave with one small thing for your toolbox.

Take super good care of yourself. Keep it simple, keep it everyday.

With love,
Amanda
