Hi, I’m Melanie — clinical herbalist-in-training and a woman of many trades and passions.
My love for herbalism began years ago during a study-abroad trip where I lived in a refurbished chicken coop surrounded by nature. It was rustic, simple, and exactly what I needed to reconnect with my roots. Since then, I’ve continued to grow as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and herbalist, supporting others to balance their gut and stay grounded.
My own healing journey — marked by anxiety, irritability, nervous tension, hormone imbalance, and gut dysbiosis — pushed me to explore natural tools when traditional medicine left me feeling dismissed and unsupported. I’m now beginning my clinical herbalism practice so I can support others in the ways I wish I had been supported.
I’m also a speech-language pathologist specializing in myofunctional therapy, helping people reduce snoring and sleep apnea, ease facial pain, improve swallowing, and speak with more ease.
I teach herbalism and wellness classes both in-person and online, and I offer wellness consultations virtually and in Hillsborough, NC.
When I’m not working with clients or teaching, you’ll find me dancing (west coast swing, ecstatic, or Latin), singing (yes, I can carry a tune!), cooking nourishing food, making herbal concoctions, reading, watching movies, or spending time outdoors.
I’d love to connect. DM me or visit my website to ask a question or schedule a free consultation. 🌿
