Personal Passions: Beekeeping & Herbal Craft
Personal Passions: Beekeeping & Herbal Craft
Beyond the clinic, my wife and I run a small heritage homestead where we keep bees, raise heirloom ducks and chickens, and cultivate medicinal herbs.
Our apothecary includes hand crafted tinctures, infused oils, and herbal salves-- many of which I use in my practice and share with my clients.
This connection to land, cylces and plants helps me stay grounded, and it deepens my approach to healing-- one that honors both science and tradition, anatomy and nature.
