About Me
Hello! I’m Mercy, a clinical herbalist dedicated to empowering clients in their healing journeys through herbalism.
Herbalism is the synergy between people and nature, the art of connecting people back to nature, and back to self. It is a holistic practice, meaning it understands the interconnectedness between mental, physical, and emotional balance, holding within it the medicine of the tangible and the magical.
I started on the herbal path in high school while exploring ways to heal from cycles of frustrating health conditions. Herbalism empowered me to understand my body on a deep level, to approach my health with curiosity, and get to know plants and practices that brought me into balance so I could like an active, engaged life.
I have been studying herbalism for 10 years through a variety of mentorships, self study, and, most recently a two-year clinical herbal program through Berkeley Herbal Center. I have experience developing unique herbal formulas for wellness brands, including collagen protein powders, adaptogenic drink blends, and infused honeys.
In my free time, I’m exploring the boundaries of life and health through movement, food, community, travel, and music. I’m especially interested in working with the creative nature of sensuality, and how plants and ritual can assist that process.
My Approach
I believe health should be simple, accessible, and personal. I work with clients to develop individualized care plans that incorporate herbs, diet, movement, and lifestyle recommendations to bring them into a healthier, more energized state.
Health is an opportunity for us to live a more connected, sensual, expansive life, full of wonder, passion, and creativity. My aim is to empower clients to learn how to support their own mental, physical, and emotional wellness, so they can experience life without the limits of disease.
Every client is treated as an individual, and every story requires an individualized health plan. This may include personalized, constitution-balancing meal plans, specially formulated tinctures, teas, infused honeys, customized workout plans, daily ritual practices, and more.
I have experience working with hormone balance, gut health, sleep, immune support, arthritis, anxiety, energy, athletic performance, and fatigue, with an emphasis on the importance of creativity, beauty, and ritual in creating a lifestyle of expansive, holistic, health. I work with a combination of Western Herbalism, Ayurvedic principles, movement, nutrition, ritual, and mindfulness practices to support your health goals.
