Bear Roots Herbals

My relationship to herbal medicine resides in a larger holistic framework, meaning I approach the bodymind as a whole, and not separate from any other part of itself. My work is rooted in the land, in community and ancestral wisdom. I am always growing toward, dreaming of, and reaching for an expansive liberated future, free from White Supremacy, Colonialism and Ableism. From the Jewish tradition, it is the work of “Tikkun Olam”, or “Repairing the World,” that is the ongoing act of making this place feel whole again. From a Disability Justice perspective, we do not need to be fixed or cured. Rather, it is in the healing work of both individual and collective care that can repair our sense of wholeness. Plants are part of this collective care and can help us tap into our own magic, and help us access pleasure, joy, grief and connection as we heal. My “kavannah,” or intention, is to infuse these values into my herbal creations and herbal care to help empower you in your own healing and your connection to all that is.

I studied herbalism at The Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine, as well as gained first hand experience and mentorship under the supervision of Appalachian folk and clinically trained herbalist Leah Larabel at High Garden Tea.
