A New Beginning
As you may know, I sold Dancing Willow Herbs in July of 2021 after 30 years of devotion to clients through my clinical herbal practice and running Durango’s leading herbal apothecary. Having taken time to reflect, I’m feeling a renewed passion and professional focus that I’m excited to share with you.
It has been a pleasure working with so many of you and I look forward to continued collaboration in assisting you in maintaining your health and wellbeing through natural modalities. I believe the marriage of western medicine and herbalism can provide a powerful holistic approach to optimum health.
I am now offering a suite of new services, each of which expresses my love for plant medicines, whole wellness, and exploring the multi-faceted nature of true health and healing.
"I have trusted Deb with every chapter of my adult life..."
I have known Debra since the late 1980's, when what would become her landmark herb shop, Dancing Willow, was not yet even a seed in the soil. How wonderful to be witness to the growth of such a beautiful and revered resource in our community. Throughout the decades, Deb's custom tinctures, salves, and deep understanding of the human body and its connection to the earth's elixirs, have helped time and time again to problem solve and heal myself, my family, and multitudes of friends. After two trips to the Mayo clinic my father still had no answer as to why his brain was swollen and he was suffering from debilitating headaches. They referred him to an infectious disease specialist who also hit a dead end. After a one hour consultation with Deb, going over his medical history and asking lots of questions regarding nutrition and lifestyle, she suspected he had a vitamin deficiency as a result of a past abdominal surgery where part of his colon had been removed. She created a tincture for him to help his body absorb the nutrients and provided supplements, and within a week he was well on his way to healing. This is just one example of many. I have trusted Deb with every chapter of my adult life, and that of my children, from hormones to ear infections, asthma to menopause, and I feel comfort in knowing that she will continue to be there as a herbal, whole body, whole person, consultant.
So grateful.
