An Herbalist
As a clinician, Angie is a matchmaker between you and the plants. She witnesses and advocates for your healing process and mind~body~spirit evolution. Deep listening to your body’s expression through multi-modality healing arts is the foundation of Angie’s practice. She holds the firm belief that the body’s innate intelligence offers us wisdom through its ease and imbalances.
An Educator
Angie has been providing teacher education in conjunction with routine and rhythm, nature and sense of place since 2005. In 2017 she launched the Tea Project Coursework, a curriculum based in cultural routines of nature. The Tea Project lessons nourish educators and children through SEL cultural development and mindfulness practices held within the science framework building perennial herb gardens for harvest and tea. Angie offers uniquely adapted SEL & Mindfulness curriculum and workshops for adults. As an educator, she commits to each person’s sovereign right to access access earth-based traditional healing methods in daily life, and to build these systems into structures which are lacking them - from the individual body system to the classroom and school.
