From 20 Herbs to Infinite Medicine
Discover the 4-step framework that takes you from memorizing a finite herb list to connecting with an infinite number of wild herbs — the foundation of our signature Medical Botany course.
Our New Book Published in April 2026
This book is an invitation into the medicine of place — the living ecosystem of the Carolina coast, where plants are your teachers.
Â
The wild herbs inside this book are native to the Southeastern Coast.
If you live along the Southeastern coast, and want to host a foraging walk or talk, email [email protected].
If you're an herbalist with a book in you, Medical Botany gives you the same framework I used to write this featured book.
Â
 For years, I worked as a botanist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Forest Service, protecting rare and endangered plants. What I learned changed everything: the greatest threat to these plants was never habitat loss. It is our disconnection — from the Earth, from our ancestral ways, and from the medicine growing wild at our feet.
I founded Wild Herb Academy to help you weave with the medicine of the land. When you embody the medicine of place and really know a plant, you will protect it. And in return, it protects you — mind, body, and spirit.
I've since helped thousands of humans embody the medicine of place: to move through the world rooted, connected, and fluent in the language of the land around them.
My main goal is to now teach herbalists how to learn from the land, not the jar. This is remembering who you are, and returning to the medicine that's always been here — within you, and around you.
Â"Just three months worth of April's forage membership-free food and medicine and so many new ways to connect with nature- will last me a lifetime and has been truly life-changing." Wild Herb Academy Member, Nicholas Shankin, Suburban Forager
"I’ve studied plants for decades, and Medical Botany is hands-down the most enriching and well-crafted course I’ve taken. The lessons are deep, clear, and soulfully delivered. If you’re serious about building a strong foundation in herbalism and truly connecting with the plant world, I can’t recommend this course highly enough. It’s a must for every aspiring herbalist." Medical Botany Alumnus, Autumn Fisher
