Working with the Plants
The plants are not just medicine. They are teachers, guides, and living beings with their own intelligence, their own spirit.
My approach to herbalism is rooted in deep listening. In slowing down enough to meet a plant as you would meet an elder, with presence, curiosity, and respect.
Inspired by my studies with the Intuitive School of Herbalism in Stroud, this work weaves together traditional plant wisdom with a felt, embodied connection. It is not only about what a plant does, but how it speaks, how it moves through the body, and what it reveals when we truly sit with it.
A Living Relationship
This is an invitation to step beyond studying herbalism and remedy-making, and into relationship. To taste the bitterness, the sweetness, the scent. To notice what stirs in your body. To listen for the quiet language beneath the mind.
When we come into ceremony with a plant, through tea, steam, smoke, or touch, we open a doorway. The plant meets us not just physically, but emotionally, energetically, and sometimes in ways that are harder to name, yet deeply felt.
Each plant carries its own essence. Its own way of guiding us back to balance.
Intuitive Herbalism
Intuitive herbalism is not about getting it “right.” It is about remembering how to listen. Listening to the body. Listening to the land. Listening to the plant itself. In this way, the plants become collaborators in healing, not something we take, but something we walk alongside.
This work gently reawakens an ancient knowing: that we belong to the earth, and the earth knows how to tend to us.
An Invitation
Through plant ceremony, tea, and gentle breathwork, you are invited to meet the plants in a different way.
I offer these journey’s 1:1 and group sessions, if you are interested then please get in touch.

Rites of Passage with Plant, Steam & Breath
A ceremonial journey for life’s thresholds
There are moments in life when the ground shifts beneath us, when we are no longer who we were, but not yet who we are becoming. These moments deserve more than to pass quietly. They deserve to be honoured, witnessed, and marked in the old way with the elements, the plants, and the breath as our guides.
This rite of passage offering weaves together:
꩜ Plant Ceremony - Meet a plant ally chosen for your journey (Rose for heart opening, Mugwort for vision, Yarrow for protection, Lemon Balm for peace, and more). Connect through tea, scent, touch, and guided meditation.
꩜ Herbal Sauna Ritual - Step into the warmth of plant-infused steam to release the old and welcome the new, in rounds that move from cleansing to receiving to sealing.
꩜ Breathwork - Use the breath to open the heart, release what’s been carried, and invite in clarity and renewal.
꩜ Sealing Ritual - A symbolic act to mark your threshold — anointing with plant oil, tying a cord, or receiving a token to carry forward.
꩜
Perfect for:
First bleed / menarche
Birth preparation or postpartum healing
Marriage, union, or separation
Moving through grief

Each rite is crafted for the individual or small group, no two are ever the same. The plant ally, breathwork style, and sauna herbs are chosen with care to reflect your unique journey.
