About me
I was drawn to herbalism when my children were small and I didn’t want them to use antibiotics and also through a lifelong connection to plants and a deep desire to understand how nature supports the body, the nervous system, and overall well-being. Over time, I saw how overwhelming and confusing the wellness world had become — full of fear-based messaging, misinformation, and shortcuts that don’t honor the plants or the people using them. I wanted to create something different: a place where herbal medicine is taught slowly, clearly, and honestly, rooted in hands-on experience and respect for the land. Mt Airy Herbs grew naturally from my own practice, my farm, and my desire to teach others what I have learned through 35 years of doing the work myself.
We practice and teach herbalism rooted in sustainability and long-term stewardship. By working with seasonal cycles and responsible growing and harvesting practices, we honor the land and the plants that support human health.
Everything we teach comes from lived, hands-on experience. We grow, harvest, preserve, and use many of the herbs ourselves, blending traditional herbal wisdom with practical, evidence-informed approaches—without exaggeration or fear-based claims.
We believe herbal education should be honest, respectful, and grounded in real life. We don’t promise quick fixes. Instead, we offer thoughtful guidance shaped by years of working with plants, managing land, and caring for people and animals.
Mt Airy Herbs exists to provide practical, trustworthy herbal education that supports deep learning and a slower, more intentional way of life.
Through online herbal masterclasses, YouTube education, workshops, and written resources, we are building a sustainability-focused herbal business rooted in clarity, integrity, and care. Our mission is to create a lasting body of work—a living archive of traditional and practical plant knowledge—that can be passed down, used wisely, and returned to for generations.
