I originally opened my practice in 2004 as Robins' song for Robin London, L.AC. I was so blessed to intern with Robin, an incredible acupuncturist, herbalist and teacher. Robin put her whole heart into every interaction. Shortly before I opened my practice, Robin passed away due to cancer. Her memory remains an inspiration and role model. I so wish she could see how far I have come since my time as here student. As time and locales have changed my practice has been renamed Steller Botanical Health.
I am trained as a Clinical Herbalist, which means that I have years of supervised practice working with clients one-on-one with herb, nutrition and lifestyle protocols. I am a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild(RH, AHG). A graduate from the East West School of Herbology. I enhanced my studies by completing clinical internships with Herbalist Acupuncturists- Robin London, L.Ac and Lesley Tierra, L.Ac back in 2003-2004.
I am a graduate of the Institute for Transformational Nutrition (ITN). Transformational Nutrition is a coaching method that uses revolutionary, modern methods to help clients achieve nourishment and balance for body-mind-and spirit. Nourishment is about food...AND so much more! Our emotions, our mental health and our connection to spirit color so much of how we perceive ourselves and what unfolds around us--and what we perpetuate in our lives. As a coach my goal is to help you find new positive ways to accept what was and to create the fully nourishing life you want for yourself. I am also a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).
I schedule local clients and visitor for consultations or bodywork sessions. I am an Asian Bodywork Therapist, credentials AOBTA-CP and Dipl. ABT (NCCAOM). I studied Acu-Oncology with Isabel Adkins and received extensive training with Ashiatsu Master Edward Spencer.
