Hi I'm Penelope!
My love of the natural world started as a child running through my Grandma Susie's backyard full of dandelions and wildflowers. Years later, as a mother, that same wonder led me to study herbal medicine and I've never looked back. I'm so glad you're here.
Love From the Community
A few kind words from some of the mamas in my local community.
"Penelope has helped both myself and my daughter (during her pregnancy and postpartum) with our nutrition and with various health issues for the past two years. She is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in the field of health and health issues, herbs and nutrition and we love working with her. She is our go-to source for anything health and nutrition related. She always has a very calm and confident demeanor and it is evident when she speaks to the topic at hand that she has done her research and draws from years of experience working with people. She is also consistently very kind and sweet and clearly loves to help and inspire people."
"Over the years, Penelope has taught classes for our community in herbalism, family health, farming and health resilience. She is warm, patient, compassionate, and endlessly a teacher to all of those around her."
"Penelope worked at my herbal apothecary store in Nevada City, California as an herbalist behind the counter from 2018-2021. She demonstrated a passion for helping people to heal using herbs.I received a lot of feedback from clients telling me how kind, helpful and knowledgeable Penelope is.She is friendly, compassionate and has lots of empathy. People are naturally drawn to her. She is very experienced and knowledgeable about herbs and natural remedies."
"Penelope has been an invaluable resource when I have needed herbal guidance for both my son and my daughter. It is such a reassurance to know that someone like Penelope,with such in-depth knowledge of herbs, is available to consult with when we need her. She's like an herbal encyclopedia!"

"Penelope has a deep well of herbal knowledge. I come to her first when looking for holistic solutions for my family. She's given me confidence in my abilities as a mother to naturally heal."
