Her approach to herbalism comes from a deep reverence for plants through an animist perspective. The purpose of her work is to help people come home to themselves through fostering deeper relationships to plants and the natural world. Her strong conviction is that plants are a powerful portal into the magic and wonder of being alive and embodied.#Herbalism #ChildrensBooks #NatureLovers
