About Kat

Most of my work in the herb world is as a teacher and a clinician, and I approach both of those things from a Vitalist perspective. This means I'm always looking for the root cause of disease. One of the things I strongly believe humans need is a connection with land and place - without it, something in us begins to weaken. For me, one of the most powerful ways to connect with my landscape is by understanding the life around me, especially the food and medicine plants.   My experience with plant identification started with learning from my mother and grandmother, a horticulturist and a farmer, respectively. As a forestry major at Northern Arizona University, I was introduced to the more technical botanical language and ecological studies and got hooked. I've had the privilege of teaching botany through several programs, including directing the Rocky Mountain Field Botany program through the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism. After teaching botany for almost 2 decades, I'm so excited to share these skills with you!
