As a lifelong city-dweller, I grew up eating herbs and vegetables growing in a modest garden that was mainly tended by my mother.

Both of my parents were raised on farms in the Philippines, amidst hovering mango trees, moringa bushes, and in between the moist air of the rice paddies. It's no wonder that plants' nourishing powers have always found a home in my medicine cabinet or boiling on my stove.

As an herbal practitioner, my approach is to picture a bird's eye view of my client's external environment and gently hone in on how they may be feeling from the inside, out. This framework is centered around Energetic Herbalism, which matches the attributes and spirit of herbs to the state of a person's mind and body. I’m currently based in San Francisco on Ohlone land. I’ve formally trained as a Clinical Herbalist with the Land of Verse and have studied under intuitive and insightful herbalists, including Holly Calica, Drea Moore, and Kelsey Barrett.
