How Herbalism Supports Your Wellness

Herbalism is about cultivating a deeper connection with plants to naturally enhance your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Whether you’re new to herbs or already incorporating them into your daily life, my courses and workshops teach you how to safely and effectively integrate herbal remedies into your routine along with building your connection to the plants that exist all around you.  There is much value in connecting to our roots.

Herbalism can help you:

  • Reduce stress, anxiety, and support nervous system balance naturally.
  • Naturally improve sleep quality and overall energy
  • Support digestion, immunity, and hormonal balance
  • Develop practical skills for preparing herbal remedies at home
  • Be able to identify plants in your environment so you can survive the next apocalypse at home
  • Work with flowers homeopathically to experience emotional wellbeing and balance

What My Students Say

Kaet, W.

Carborro, NC

Melanie is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about herbs, plants and their medicinal properties. She is also a really good and kind teacher -- knowledge and the ability to teach do not always go hand-in-hand. The class that I am in with Melanie has participants that vary in age from youngish teen to a 93 year old and everyone seems to be enjoying the class and each other because of Melanie's skill at bringing us all together. I highly recommend working with Melanie and any classes that she might be offering.

Sumi, A.

Durham, NC

It was amazing to learn about common edibles, how to identify them, to gather and cook them. Melanie was warm, caring, and passionate, and the space we learned in was beautiful.

A very accessible and rewarding workshop. Melanie helps you to feel welcome, empowered, and you leave with a feeling of connection and practical knowledge. Thank you!

Noa, H.

Pittsboro, NC

Melanie's work is a “balm”for the many things we now navigate in an effort to stay whole. She brings timeless, ancient and common-sense wisdom forward in a way that ensures an instant connection and integration of her knowledge. She is a gifted educator and a “real deal” authentic master chemist of plant-based medicine. There is no place where her teachings are not desperately needed!
