My name is Debra and I'm so glad you're here. I believe in the healing power of plants and
have devoted my life to this core value. My work guides clients in transforming chronic diseases like allergies, autoimmune dis-orders (eczema/asthma), hormonal imbalances, and indigestion, as well as reducing stress, depression and anxiety.
With a deep connection to the natural world, I facilitate your relationship to your own inner healer and the healing power of plants.
My love of herbs and natural healing is deeply linked with my own search for healing and wellness. I feel fortunate to have developed an inner compass for my true north at an early age. Not immune to hardship as a child, I made sense of the chaos with a commitment to wholeness and wellbeing.
After 30 plus years of working with clients I have found that my own particular set of life experiences have made me a deeply empathic healer with the ability to witness what often lies beneath the surface of an issue.
My education, though extensive, truly rests on the many years of working directly with clients and the time honored tradition of being called an elder and clinical herbalist.

Thank you, Deb.
Over the last 30 years I have sought help from Deb in curing different ailments as an alternative to traditional medicine. I have, in turn, made quite a few of her herbal tinctures as my “go to” remedies.
About three years ago, I had frequent UTIs and turned to Deb for an alternative to the antibiotics that weren’t working. She listened intently on my intake and made suggestions to change my overall lifestyle patterns as well as did some research to provided me with the best combination of herbal remedies and homeopathic medicine to reduce the pain, strengthen my immune system and help protect and nourish my organs. I feel safe with her herbal tinctures and am impressed with Deb’s vast knowledge of plants and their medicinal properties. -ACSF
