I live in Queensbury New York which is adjacent to Glens Falls, a city that is called the "Gateway to the Adirondacks".  The Adirondack Park  contains true wilderness, most people have no idea that a park this size  exists in the Northeast ,much less that it is located in  New York State. 
I have been growing and harvesting plants for over 30 years.  I started studying Medical  Herbalism when I moved to my home in the Adirondacks.  I have studied under many different Herbalists and have taken workshops from many more. I apprenticed under Rosemary Gladstar of Sage Mountain  in S. Barre , Vermont  and Gail Ulrich of Blazing Star School in Shelburne Falls, Mass.  I also attended Adirondack Community College Nursing Program where I studied Anatomy & Physiology and Nutrition. I am a member of the Northeast Herbal Association.  I worked on the NEHA newsletter committee for several years and I was on the the NEHA Council for many years.  I am also a member of the American Herbalist Guild.
I have been teaching for over 15 years and my favorite class was my Apprenticeship Program.  It has been very rewarding to introduce people to the plant world.  I teach people through the  3 seasons; Spring, Summer and Fall. I  get to watch their journey as they learn about nature and themselves.  I teach many types of classes: Women and Menopause, Herbal Skin Care, Herbs and Nutrition are among my more popular classes.  I have taught classes at the Adirondack Community College Continuing Education Program as well as the Saratoga Springs Continuing Ed. Program. I now teach for American Botanical Garden organization.  Please see my page on classes for this year.
I have been an Herbal Consultant since 2000.  I have worked in many offices, my first being in Glens Falls when I had the opportunity to work with a local physician.  I have an office in Glens Falls.  Please see my  page on Herbal Consultations.
I have a line of  herbal formulas.  These are my favorite recipes or formulas which I have developed over the years of practicing my craft of herbalism.

I maintain a public herb garden which is connected to a large botanical garden at Hovey Pond Park which is located on Lafayette Street ,Queensbury.  I invite all to visit to see the herbal plants and , of course,  all the other beautiful plants.  We maintain perennial gardens as well as an herbal garden and a Native Plant garden.  We are putting in a Victory Vegtable garden in 2009.
