Custom Community Herbalism Workshops for Universities, Organizations and Collectives

Teaching style

I teach herbalism starting from the microorganisms in the soil, all the way to the seed, cultivation, harvesting, storage, formulation, spiritual uses and ending with high-quality herbal remedios you can apply. My maternal grandmother and great-grandmother have been my primordial schools. After that, I’ve had the honor of learning from fellow community sisters, master western hebalists and Indigenous curanderas.

After every single workshop you will walk away with a clear understanding of where to start and the process to follow. I love forming confident herbalists that can make their own preparations of all kinds! You will also have a solid foundations for understanding soil health, permaculture principles, traditional ecological practices and proper foraging guidelines. I’ve also studied at some of the most important permaculture schools in Mexico, such as Las Cañadas and Gaia Sana.

Why Community Herbalism?
Because herbalism is also political and should always be accesible to those who need it most. We learn and practice our skills in community. It is the community the one who puts their trust in us, as up and coming hebalists, and it is also the community that needs herbal medicine the most.

A community is an ecosystem that you belong to and interact with every day. How do you want to show up in that ecosystem, as an herbalist?

To this day, I still make free herbal medicine for the women, children and elders in my community. I barter my medicine for a variety of other things: sometimes simply their trust, feedback and a word of recommendation.

This is the way I choose to show up. What does it look like for you?

My books are open for group setting and private 1:1 classes.
