My name is Violet, I am a Clinical western and Energetic Herbalist, medicine-maker, apothecarist, educator and punk botanist specializing in the field of California and Pacific Western native plants. I am an alumn of the Blue Otter School of Holistic Herbal Medicine, apprenticed with Stascha Stahl, completed a 4 month Clinical program with the Wildcurrent School of Herbal Medicine (mentored by Stascha Stahl, Ember Peters, and Vilda Chaya), as well as attended numerous classes and ongoing education.
I am a Bay Area resident of 13 years. I am a queer, transgender, intersectional anarcha-feminist and practicing Buddhist. I have been farming medicinal plants and food crops on abandoned city properties for over 10 years, and have been a propagator at Oaktown Native plant nursery just short of a decade. I am also a writer, an illustrator, and an amateur tattoo artist.
I have had my own clinical herbal practice for 4 years, in which I am committed to offering body positive, fat positive, trauma informed, intersectional, LGBTQIIA inclusive, harm reduction focused, sex and sex work positive, anti-racist and anti-oppression centered holistic support, herbal consultations, collaboration, affirmation, resources, and guidance.
