As a Clinical Herbalist trained at Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism, Kristen’s approach to wellness is simply meeting people where they are on their journey to better health, and offering herbal support along the way. Being proactive in maintaining health occurs in all aspects of life- mental, physical, environmental, emotional, and spiritual. Natural medicine can be in the power of herbal remedies, but also in experiencing the outdoors, meditating, yoga, creating art, helping others, loving ourselves, laughing and playing. Helping people look at health through this variety of lenses, and supporting them as they try new things, is very rewarding. Sharing the healing power of plants is particularly exciting for Kristen because it helps people develop a deep healing relationship with the plants and themselves; and a broader appreciation for nature and the powers that maintain us all.
