I am the founder of Fernwell Botanicals, based in Deerfield, New Hampshire, where my family and I now make our home. Though I was born and raised in New Hampshire, life took me far from here for a time. As the wife of a Navy sailor, I lived on Oahu, Hawai‘i, and later in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, before returning in 2022 to put down roots once again. Our move back to New Hampshire was a conscious choice fueled by the goal of homesteading. We wanted to raise our three children in connection with the land, and to pursue a simpler, healthier lifestyle shaped by the natural rhythms of the seasons.

My professional path is rooted in advanced training in clinical herbalism and a commitment to holistic care that sees the individual as an interconnected whole. My background in psychology gives me valuable perspective on how stress, mood, and mental health shape overall well-being, while my extensive study of plant energetics and synergy deepens this approach. I view plants not only for their physical constituents, but also for the energetic qualities they bring. These are qualities that influence not only the body but also overall balance and vitality. This integration allows me to approach wellness with both scientific understanding and energetic awareness, creating care that resonates on every level specifically tailored to each and every client.

I believe that true wellness cannot separate the mind, body, and spirit. Each part is woven into the other, and balance is only possible when all three are nurtured together. The spirit, in particular, is often overlooked, especially in our Western world. However, it is an essential part of our well-being, giving us a sense of connection, meaning, and purpose. As a Reiki Master in the Usui method, I bring an understanding of energy and intention that complements my herbal practice, allowing me to approach wellness from both a physical and energetic perspective. My approach to care is rooted in reverence for nature, awareness of life’s cycles, and the understanding that everything is interconnected. These principles guide how I listen, how I hold space, and how I create personalized plans, so that each person feels supported as a whole being rather than a set of symptoms.

At Fernwell Botanicals, my focus is on holistic, individualized care. I take the time to understand each person’s story and craft a plan that supports their unique constitution, goals, and lived experience. My areas of interest include stress and anxiety support, digestive health, and seasonal wellness. At the heart of my practice is a simple truth: healing is about relationship with ourselves, with the plants, and with the world around us.

Outside of my practice, I find joy in the simple rhythms of homestead life. I enjoy tending the gardens, hiking, canning and creating with my hands. I love quilting, knitting and crocheting as well as making soap and candles. I value self-care as part of my own wellness practice. This includes spending quiet time in nature, practicing yoga, meditation, or simply allowing space for rest and creativity. These rhythms help me stay balanced and grounded, and I bring the same emphasis on sustainable, nourishing practices into the work I do with clients.
