It all started with a passion for knowledge…
My story is far from conventional, but then again, whose isn't? The journey of The Texan Herbalist began nearly a decade ago when I made Texas my permanent home. I swiftly fell in love with the atmosphere, the people, and yes, even the heat! The vast landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Texas inspired me to explore the world of self-sustainability, which ultimately led to my initial pursuit of becoming a Master Certified Health and Wellness Coach.
Around that same time, I had just purchased my first home and was excited to start my own garden. I quickly started studying local plants, their properties, and how they could be used to promote well-being. The process was both challenging and exhilarating, as I spent countless hours reading books, attending workshops, and connecting with other like-minded individuals. This passion grew into a mission to share the benefits of herbal remedies with others, blending traditional wisdom with modern practices.
As I immersed myself deeper into the world of herbalism, I discovered the incredible power of nature's bounty. From the soothing properties of lavender to the immune-boosting benefits of echinacea, each plant I encountered seemed to unlock a new layer of understanding about holistic health. I began experimenting with creating my own tinctures, teas, and salves, sharing them with friends and family who were amazed at the results.
It was at this point that my family shifted gears and purchased the homestead we now live on. As we grow, it is more than likely that we will become a full on farmstead as we work hard to make a positive impact on the world in a way that aligns with our family morals and values. I am so blessed to be getting the hands on herbalism experience in the giant garden we've built on our property. This experience ultimately led me to pursue herbalism certifications, and I am now proud to say that I have earned more than enough to confidently practice herbalism by sharing my knowledge openly. That said, I will always be a lifelong-learner, and will continue to build upon my knowledge in every way that I can.
Although my digital presence is something new, my journey as The Texan Herbalist has been a fulfilling one thus far. It has been filled with passion, growth, and a strong desire to make a positive impact on the world. I am so excited to continue sharing my knowledge and love for herbal medicine with others, and I hope to inspire more people to embrace a holistic approach to their health and well-being. Thank you for joining me on this journey! As I look to the future, I envision a community where individuals are empowered to take control of their health through the power of nature. Together, we can cultivate a more sustainable and health-conscious world.

I believe in a holistic approach to health and wellness, considering all aspects of an individual's life—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—when creating treatment plans or recommending remedies. Although I currently serve only my local community, expanding these services to a wider audience is a future goal. True wellness can’t be achieved by addressing just one part of a person’s being; it requires a comprehensive view of the whole person.
