WHAT IS HERBAL MEDICINE?


Herbal medicine is a specialized field of natural medicine that utilizes plants for optimal health. Herbs go deep - they heal us mentally, physically, and spiritually. When traditional healing knowledge is paired with science-backed research, we can create effective holistic solutions. They can come in a variety of forms such as food, teas, tinctures, or topical solutions like salves or baths.

I’m Taylor

My love for herbal medicine began when I got to experience first hand the life changing healing of plants. After this experience I became wildly passionate about holistic healing and committed my life to serving women.

My Story

As a teenager, my periods were so painful and exhausting that I could barely function — and it only got worse. By college, I had experienced more than ten ovarian cyst ruptures. It took me 12 years and a lot of self advocating to find out I had stage four endometriosis: two chocolate cysts on my left ovary, adhesions gluing my organs together, and bowel lesions. Sound familiar?

Alongside endo, I have dealt with chronic digestive issues, mold toxicity, histamine issues, and trauma. I truly have walked a thousand miles in your shoes, and I feel grateful to know that I can connect with my clients on this level. It gives me a deeper sense of compassion and an extra umph in my drive to fight for you finding answers and overcoming these challenges.

This long and winding chronic health journey is what led me to earn my Bachelor's Degree in Herbal Sciences from Bastyr University in 2016 — I knew I needed both traditional and scientific knowledge to turn what I'd lived through into real help for others. Since then I have furthered my education to better understand female physiology and how to work with it, not against it.

I became a FEMM certified fertility awareness teacher in order to give women their power back by charting their cycle, understanding what is happening with their body, and knowing what is helping or hurting their health. I combine this with my herbalism background and modern science to really get to bottom of what’s going on.

My love for all things women’s health has given me the opportunity to walk alongside women in their darkest days and witness their tenacity as they experience true healing for the first time. With this experience, I have learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t — and I want to share this with you so you can eliminate wasted years and begin to experience your life fully.

This isn't just another job for me, it's about giving you back your quality of life. If you're in the thick of it right now, I see you, and I believe there is a path forward for you too.
