My formal herbalism studies began in 2016. I was certified as a Clinical Herbalist in 2018 after completing a two-year program of study at the Self-Heal School of Herbal Studies and Healing in San Diego, California.

While studying clinical herbalism, I became increasingly fascinated with the human body and found myself gravitating towards traditional wisdom in search of a more holistic embodiment framework. In 2016, I received a 200-hour yoga teacher training certification from Elka Yoga & Wellness. In 2017, I deepened my yoga studies and studies of Tantric philosophy by completing a 100-hour Anusara Immersion with Robin Christ. That same year, while working as an outdoor educator at a fully outdoor nature preschool called At Home In Nature, I completed a children’s yoga teacher training intensive through If I Was A Bird Yoga. In 2018, I completed an immersion with Eat Breathe Thrive, an organization focused on the intersection of yoga, body awareness, and eating disorder recovery.

In the fall of 2018, I began a course of study at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. In 2022, I received my BA in Contemplative Psychology. My studies included Somatic Psychology, Sacred Ecology, and the Psychology of Health and Healing. This work culminated in a thesis entitled Embodied Ecopsychology: Weaving the Body of Self with the Body of Earth.

While at Naropa, I served as co-facilitator for the Naropa Alliance for Psychedelic Studies. In the fall of 2020, I was the recipient of a Cosmic Sister Emerging Voices Award, an award that strengthens visibility for women who demonstrate outstanding potential in the field of plant medicine and psychedelics.
