Hi! I’m Jacob (he/him), a queer and LGBTQIA+ affirming herbal practitioner. I have a holistic, compassionate, collaborative approach, and use a blend of Tissue States and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to guide healing with plant medicine. I offer a safe and welcoming space for all, whether you’re seeking help for physical discomfort, emotional balance, or simply want to explore the power of plant allies.
I have studied herbalism since 2013, and my approach is grounded in my formal education, lived experience, and travel. In addition to herbal consultations, I also offer Tarot readings (studied since 2010) and short Astrology readings (studied since 2006), each can provide intuitive insight that can complement the healing process.
I grew up on unceded Lenne Lenape land and now live on the unceded lands of the Clackamas, Cowlitz, Multnomah, Wasco, Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and others in so-called Portland, Oregon. I acknowledge the ongoing impacts of colonization and am committed to supporting Indigenous sovereignty and honoring the wisdom of their plant medicine traditions.
My sessions are entirely online, making them accessible to anyone with an Internet connection.
