I grew up in the Allegheny mountains of Pennsylvania and learned about the healing power of herbs and mushrooms and natural foods from family and spending my childhood in nature. In the 70s we grew our own food and composted scraps and bought clean food from the Amish or direct from farmers. We grew our own food and preserved it for the winter, ate seasonally and had gut healthy pickled cruciferous vegetables. I followed in the footsteps of my mother who believed in everything natural, sun brewing tea and composting kitchen scraps to turn into good soil. 

I studied Russian at Carnegie Mellon and moved to St Petersburg after university and was exposed to the Russian herbal tradition using chaga mushroom and seabuckthorn and siberian ginseng. I worked for the Russian Academy of Sciences publishing division and translated articles for my partner on small field magnetics. These forays into science sparked the desire for me to learn the mechanisms of healing and biochemistry. 

When I moved to London I decided it was time to study formally and have a solid understanding of anatomy, biochemistry and physics behind the healing power of natural remedies. I offer my clients an in depth consultation where we analyse your family medical history as well as your own; from childhood to now. The session is approximately 45 minutes and includes a bespoke formula which is an alcoholic tincture, and free postage in mainland UK. International clients pay for DHL delivery at the going rate.
