Meet our herbalist

Nora was introduced to the world of herbal medicine through the teachings of many wise women she has been lucky enough to call sisters and friends. She has deepened her herbal education and practice by becoming a Certified Clinical Herbalist through a 1,000 hour Apprenticeship and Clinical program at the Berkeley Herbal Center in California.

Nora's background is in poetry, learning how to cultivate deep self-care rituals, and opening her heart to the healing journey as it unfolds. She has a Masters of Fine Arts in Poetry from California College of the Arts, and an Undergraduate degree in Writing and Women's Studies. She is very excited about the intersections of poetry, sound meditation, the power of story, and plant medicine.

Nora's style is warm, intuitive, and collaborative. She will empower you to reach for lifestyle choices that resonate with your brightest, truest, most authentic self, and she will chose herbs that interface directly with both your physical and spiritual bodies. As a community herbalist, Nora strives to make herbal medicine affordable and available for everyone, and is especially passionate about serving communities struggling with addiction, childhood trauma, domestic trauma, individuals looking to manage stress and anxiety, and individuals awakening to their true power and potential for wellness. Her goal is to offer compassion and support as you transition into more vibrant, empowered, balanced, and nourished versions of yourself.
