Herbalist
Staci is a folk herbalist. She has been learning from the native plants since she was a little girl, and apprenticed with an established herbalist in Colorado for 25 years. Most of her learning and teaching is experiential and comes from both a deep listening to the plants as well as the old “word of mouth” story telling approach. Staci herself is nurtured and energized by the plants, and shares her passion by guiding herbal walks, sacredly harvesting, making plant medicines, and teaching beautiful hands-on seasonal classes, where her students learn a few potent plants of that season, meditating with those plants, and making their own plant medicines or herbal body-care products, and also enjoying “wild food” snacks and teas during the class. Staci is “lit-up” by wild plants and loves to share her knowledge. She also provides one-on-one herbal sessions, which are creative and individually designed according to each client’s needs, including the handed down Mayan traditions of the former and most beloved Miss Beatrice Waight, who Staci was not only privileged to study with, but whom she was also fortunate enough to have a special blessing from for her seven day old daughter. Your herbal work with Staci promises to be unique, joyful, creative, uplifting and full of surprises!
