My Story with herbalisim

My skills

Picture
 I  decided that Midwifery was my calling at age 18 after reading the well known book Spiritual Midwifery by Ina May Gaskin.  I was inspired but felt I was too young and inexperienced to help women bring babies to the world.  Therefore I decided to study herbalisim as a way to become the midwife and healer I hoped to be. I enrolled in The Northeast School of Botanical Medicine with herbalist 7 Song in Ithaca NY. During this time of my life I lived very close to the earth, gathered and made a lot of medicine and really got to "know" the plants.  My studies during that time of my life proved to be a great foundation for my herbal knowledge. As my life journey took me to study Mystical Judaism in Israel  I continued to learn about the plants around me.  While I was not absorbed in herbalisim during that time I still  identified  and harvested medicals plants.  As the mother of five I have felt thankful that i have been able to experiment and use herbal medicine as I raised my children. As a Midwife and Doula I have gained a lot of experience using herbal and alternative remedies with the many women I have worked with.   I feel that to be a good herbalist one must really use and practice what they know.  I have experience a ebb and flow with regards to how present i am with my herbal skills. I am thankful that in recent years with the inspiration of my eldest daughter, gathering plants and making medicine has once again become an active part of our lives. 

I like to think of myself as the local herbalist. Perhaps reminiscent of an grandmother from centuries ago. I am not a clinical herbalist and do not specialize in major health issue. My area of knowledge is:
  • General health & wellness
  • acute problems such as colds, virus, infections of any type
  • All pregnancy related issues 
  • Newborn concerns
  • Childrens health 
  • Sleep and nervous system unrest 
I like to encourage people,especially mothers to learn how to care for themselves and use the wonderful medicine abundant on G-d's earth. I do:
  • Herbal consultations 
  • Acute care
  • Sell tinctures, salves, powders, oils etc. 
  • Plant walks and identification
  • Medicine making classes
