  • I used to have the frequent thought, "how is a person like me ever going to make it in the world?"

    I had no concept of how I would ever "do life" the way other people do being as sensitive as I am.

    Discovering the work I now share has completely shifted the way I'm able to move through the world. It takes persistence, belief and a willingness to move through a LOT of energy, but I've also discovered a few tricks along this path.

    Navigating the world as a highly sensitive human is different. We don't bulldoze through energy the way many people do. Creating practices and perspectives which allow us to thrive, release and create is essential.

    I was entranced and excited by what I saw in this reading of Eucalyptus. This month I chose a plant which offers stability and healing amidst transformative elements. I looked into two ways in which this medicine has been used throughout time on Earth.

    The first was located on the Southwestern tip of Australia. An artist was harvesting the "molting" bark of a Eucalyptus to soak and make into paper. I didn't at first understand the "medicine" of paper, but then realized it was to be transformed into art. Using Earthen elements to paint and create with brought a sense of connection to Earth which many of us have lost.

    In the second, the medicine of Eucalyptus was activated through a storm. The volatile oils from its leaves released the hold of some darker forces that held on after an event of great loss and grieving.

    As many cultures throughout time have experienced genocide, we often experience the perception that their healing information is lost. This is not so. We can access it at anytime though our natural clairvoyance or other psychic means. The ancient spirit of Eucalyptus holds witness to the events and the core of what medicine holds for us.

  • Arnica has been on planet Earth since before the continental divide. Their medicine is wild and vibrates in affinity with the shifting planetary vibration through a strong connection to Earth and the seasons.

    Arnica holds its medicine in releasing energy associated with physical trauma or violence from the body. In this time, many people are experiencing the re-surfacing of trauma on an energy level. Arnica aids in allowing this energy to dissolve from the body. Pain that we hold in our body is often related to past experience that has nothing to do with present time.

    We look at two ways in which this medicine has been used throughout time on Earth. In the first, a Native medicine woman is using the fresh flowers steeped in hot tallow to massage into a young man's back who was wounded by an arrow.

    In the second, a young woman connects with the energy vibration of Arnica to help her release the a lover's suffering that she took on in her body.

    A secondary clearing such as a smudge or some use of elemental energy is often appropriate after using this Arnica medicine.

    Arnica has physical, emotional, creative and spiritual medicine. The seasonal weather which it endures indicates how this medicine works on a body level.

  • As we move through life there are many types of energies that can overwhelm our energetic field and keep us from experiencing our own energy in present time.

    What does that all mean?

    Has a job or career situation, big event, relationship, or anything else ever made you incredibly anxious? Or do you even experience persistent anxiety?

    Blue Vervain is a most incredible ally for de-energizing all of the "triggers" that keep us feeling anxious about these things.

    Blue Vervain is the medicine for enjoying your energy in your body and recognizing present time.

    This is one of my favorite herbal allies. I had forgotten about it for some time and it came to me in a dream state the other night.

    This plant is excited to help us!

    Enjoy the medicine. :)

    Tune in to see how their medicine has been used throughout time on Earth, in birth and the beginning of a moon cycle.

  • Who is Pedicularis densiflora?

    She insights us to heal wounds or energies that we have yet to heal, that sit somewhere deep within the body. We may not know or remember what these initial impacts are.

    In this episode we dive deep into a few of the ways Pedicularis has been used as medicine throughout time on Earth. What we see here illuminates her range of medicine, what type of energy she helps us humans release different 'preparations' or ways that she has been used in the past.

    Pedicularis densiflora is penetrating and softening. We discover how she works in conjunction with her friend Violet and they energy this pairing works at together.

    We look into the physical, emotional, creative and spiritual potential of this medicine.

    This is an interview and opening. Tuning in will illuminate energy that you are ready to release, while developing a healing relationship with the spirit of Pedicularis.

    If you would like to have your own experience working on a spiritual level with this medicine you can join Plant Companion to discover your own information and have a unique experience with her medicine.

  • The inhabitation of a spirt in the form of a human body is a most exquisite pairing.

    The body, comprised mostly of water, reflects the changes and new energy that we encounter as spirit. The body and spirit meet at the heart center, where the blood (water) of the body is healed.

    I start by clearly speaking my devotion and love for humanity and Earth. I perceive, from a place of deep knowing that the present injection that many people are willingly and forcibly receiving is a heinous atrocity to the human body, a poisoning of the waters.

    I invite you to join a reading and healing with the spirit of Dong Quai. I share what I see and encourage your personal experience.

    How though can we create a vessel for ourselves to exist in pure spirit form? In a world filled with toxins this can be overwhelming. I encourage a level of what I call "havingness" or being OK with some level of toxic exposure because it is nearly impossible to completely avoid at present.

    How can we create for ourselves pure food and water, nourishment and fulfillment in our bodies? I speak on the healing that a traditional diet can provide as well as the sourcing for water.

    How can we enhance our connection to nature? How does nature heal the waters of our bodies? This is my life path.

    Can we be fulfilled, happy, even exuberant on our paths without having a "job"? How does this relate to purifying the vessel for you to create as spirit and how can we re-frame the idea of a "job"?

    Community and spiritual practice are essential to the flow of a spirit in body form. Many whom I speak to notice a difference in the way I present spiritual practice. I explain this a bit and share the energetic explanation for what I teach.

    Being in touch with one's spiritual direction provides the path for their energy to flow. I provide some practice you can use to encourage this energy of flow in your life.

    Finally: a few notes on the Psychic Herbalism Clairvoyant Program and growing organically. I invite you to share this with someone you believe it will resonate. This is part of the organic growth process.

  • When I began to understand myself as a healer I experienced so much empowerment and validation for my path. I can still remember the moment, it was incredibly special.

    My journey to discovering myself as a healer was at times challenging. I couldn't differentiate what energy was mine and what belonged to other people. I had some methods for healing myself, but I didn't have a great level of awareness of the energetic interplay I was involved in.

    If you're a healer, there's literally nothing better in the world than healing. It is the most rewarding and exciting process that you could be involved in. I used to assume that everyone was like me, but I have come to find that simply isn't true.

    Are you a healer?

    How do you know?

    When we begin to better understand and identify the characteristics within ourselves, we can experience more clarity on how to take steps on our path.

    Being a healer is a beautiful disposition, which is undeniably challenging especially in a world with so much stimulation. We're often quite sensitive to energy.

    Some keys I've found:

    Creating and holding strong boundaries. Cultivating the ability to say "no" when a relationship or agreement of some sort just isn't working for us.

    In the next episode of the Psychic Herbalism Podcast I share all about the characteristics healers tend to have and how we can thrive on our paths.

    This episode features a special mushroom. I was surprised to see a variety of the mushroom that I didn't even know existed in the reading. Let me know what you see, feel or experience! I would love to hear.

    Comment below with your experience!

  • When I began herb school I like many of the other students wanted to learn how to talk to plants.

    Little did I know... I already was (and they were too)!

    Our brain is an energy interpreter. The thoughts that we experience represent the energy that we're carrying around or in communication with. Sometimes the subtle thoughts we're having are actually spirit to spirit communication with the plants.

    Another thing about communicating with spirit... it's best not to be too serious! That is where energy gets stuck.

    I offer a different type of relationship that you can create with the plants in this episode. Ever have an imaginary friend as a child? It's pretty fun!

    I also get into a bit of what our imagination does for us and a plant spirit connection that can help us create amusement and be fully ourselves.

    Enjoy!

  • One of the main questions I’ve been getting lately is, “how did you discover your gifts?”

    I hear a lot of people saying they feel like they’re blocked off from their abilities even if they trust that they’re there.

    I can honestly relate; this used to be me.

    The process of discovering my healing abilities was (and still is) at times super uncomfortable. I had (and still have) to move through a lot of energy around doubt, uncertainty and invalidation.

    Sometimes this road just looks different than we thought it would--and that is OK.

    It is actually normal for us to have gifts. When they begin to express sometimes it can be so subtle that we won’t even recognize it.

    In the next episode of the Psychic Herbalism Podcast I talk about different types of energy that can affect us as we open to our gifts (I share my personal funny/uncomfortable story as well).

    Tune in for an opportunity to:

    🏵 Connect spirit to spirit with a plant medicine who may assist in accessing your healing gifts

    🌲 Connect to Earth, release foreign energy and call your vibration back to your body

    🦋 Develop a clearer understanding what type of energy may be affecting you in your process of discovering your healing abilities

    🌞 Take a step in moving forward on your healing path and believing in yourself

    We create from our bodies in present time. Take a moment to tune in now while you’re in the energy.

    This episode features the lovely Clary Sage. 🌸

  • I’ve been connecting with some plants that have REALLY been helping me move through this process so I wanted to share this medicine with y’all.

    In this transformation that we’re in the midst of experiencing comes a bit of grief. Have you found this for yourself?

    I find that when I reach the stage of anger I begin to struggle.

    In the next episode of the Psychic Herbalism Podcast I share two herbal allies that can help us move more gracefully through the alchemization of our emotions. I will guide you through these connections.

    Tune in for the opportunity to:
    🌲 Ground your body and release foreign energy

    🌹 Take a step in your process of grief

    🦋 Validate your emotions

    🌼 Release anger so that you can experience greater joy

    🌱 Connect spirit to spirit with two plant allies

    Tending to ourselves, turning inwards, allowing our bodies to move through and feel safe in this process is of utmost importance as we step into new energy.

    Take a moment for yourself now while you’re in it. Enjoy! 🌈

  • What do you do when we get stuck in a rut or behind a boulder of sorts?

    This is one of the great questions of humanity. How do we remove such "perceived obstacle" and allow our energy to begin flowing again so that we can create along our paths?

    One answer: just start doing something.

    We also have the ability to remove these boulders or hop out of the ditches just through changing energy. It is truly incredible the power we have as spirit.

    Tune in to this next episode to tap into your power and allow your personal energy to flow! Enjoy creating along your path!

  • As healers, it is common for us to take on some foreign energy. I have noticed the common exchange of healers giving to another who needs healing of their own unique vibration. We each have a unique energy that is specific to our body. When there is interference with this, we challenges that can look a number of ways.

    A shift we can create is giving another person a healing in a constructive format. I LOVE using plant spirits to administer healings. A big part of my model for healing is to be able to at once give and receive a healing yourself.

    Tune in to this episode to learn how you can reset the energy in your healing space and begin giving healings with plants in a constructive way!

    Added bonus: join me in reading the spirit of Mugwort!

  • I begin this episode by inviting and guiding my listener through reading Wild Rose with me. We look at the evolution of this plant alongside humanity, its origins and medicine.

    I speak on Rose's incredible ability to provide us boundaries when tuned properly. Without boundaries we lack the ability to create sovereignty. Sovereignty is not an end goal, it's a daily practice.

    As sensitive humans, cultivating the ability to create healthy boundaries and state to others the space that we exist within is crucial to thriving and creating our lives.

  • How can we create healing communication?

    And who exactly are we? We are spirits, we have bodies. Plants are spirits, they have plant bodies. Mushrooms are spirits, they have mushroom bodies. Ok, but what is a spirit?

    The nature of a spirit is creativity. Much of who or what we believe we are is actually static energy.

    Listening to this episode is an opportunity to:
    + Learn a method for creating healing communication with any sentient being
    + Connect to Earth and releasing foreign energy
    + Access your clairvoyance
    + Call you energy back to your body
    + Do a reading for a special mushroom spirit
    + Discover a perspective to help release static energy

    Enjoy!

  • I used to experience my sensitivity to energy as more of a detriment or challenge than something that could cultivate an incredible ability to heal.

    I often notice the connection between those who are sensitive to energy and those who are healers. I get into this topic on the next episode of the Psychic Herbalism Podcast.

    I start off by guiding my listener through a connection with an incredible plant ally, Eleuthero. This is an opportunity to gain some of your own information on their medicine. I do share what I see, but I encourage you to flex your own psychic abilities and tune in for yourself.

    Pausing to listen is an opportunity to:

    Release foreign energy from your space and connect to Earth Learn a method for connecting with plant spirits (we’ll do 2 in this episode!) Call your energy back to your body Understand yourself more deeply as a healer Medicine to help you flourish as a sensitive human on Earth

    We create from our bodies in present time. Pause to listen. 🌱



  • In this episode I share a perspective that has helped me most on my path. This isn’t the “just think positive” that floats about the spiritual community. This has truly changed my life and informs so much of our experience as human beings who are interested in growing!

    In this episode I speak about how we, as sensitive humans, can better navigate our growth experiences through tools, connecting with plant allies and coming to energetic vibrations that allow energy to fall out of our space more easily!

    In this episode you’ll learn:

    What is happening on an energy level as we grow

    Some of my own personal (and uncomfortable) experiences with growth

    An amazing plant ally that has helped me (any many of my students) through growth

    Why you can actually validate yourself if you wake up feeling terrible!

    Enjoy! I throw in a little meditation for you with the plant I chose to connect with in this episode. Hint: their photo is there to the left! You’ll be able to use it as you listen.

  • This episode is all about clairvoyance, how I define the term "psychic," which is different than most people's description. We begin with connecting to the Earth and the Juniper tree spirit.

    In this episode you'll learn:

    A method for releasing foreign energy from your body and calling back your personal vibration How to connect to a plant spirit on a spiritual level Where you as spirit have likely been hanging out How to communicate with medicine on an energy level Whether you're accessing clairvoyance or clairsentience
