I’m Kate, and I am so happy you’re here.
I’m here because for years, I dealt with chronic kidney infections, and no one could stop them. Doctors routinely saved my life with strong antibiotics, but the side effects and the unpredictability of the infections gnawed away at my health and my freedom. I was living in Alaska, working as a wildland firefighter and trail builder in remote locations, and I was afraid of nothing more than my own body. I was desperate for freedom, and I had nothing to lose, and that’s when the plants and I found eachother. With nothing more than an old folk medicine book, I learned to identify, harvest, and make medicine from wild herbs. And after years of doctors, drugs, pain, sepsis, and hospitalization from chronic kidney infections, the plants helped my body heal itself. The infections stopped, and in their place, I found a confidence, an inner steel, and a deep love for the natural world I didn’t know possible. I moved back to my home of North Carolina to dedicate every day for a solid year to learning the science and art of functional herbalism, apprenticing with seasoned practitioners, and serving clients in a free clinic. Southern girl that I am, I decided to stay, and I haven’t stopped learning since. Through videos on natural healing, and one-on-one consultations, and regular group classes, I’m here to fasttrack your knowledge, and give you the guidance, the tools, and the herbal remedies you need, so you too can heal yourself.
