The Great Spirit is our Father, but the earth is our Mother. She nourishes us; that which we put into the ground she returns to us, and healing plants she gives us likewise. – Big Thunder

Herbalism and Nutrition

A graduate of the country’s only master’s degree program in herbal medicine, Barbara is a clinical herbalist and certified nutrition specialist (CNS).   She enjoys working one-on-one with clients to assess their current health state and set goals, using herbal therapy to support positive changes in lifestyle and nutrition.

Barbara is an experienced master herbalist and herb shop manager as well as a frequent speaker, guest lecturer, teacher and writer on a variety of women’s and men’s health topics.  She has her own line of herbal teas.

Barbara practices “no-judgment nutrition,” addressing deficiencies by nudging her clients – both children and adults – toward healthier habits while teaching them to pay attention and listen to their bodies along the way.

Barbara earned her Master of Science in Herbal Medicine from Tai Sophia Institute in 2007 and has maintained a private herbal practice since graduating.  In 2009, she became a certified nutrition specialist.
