Samhain is a moment between summer and winter. Here anything is possible. When occupied with gratitude and love, our health is greatly benefited. Samhain Herbs is an understanding and a relationship with the plants. What grows here is the reflection of a dream, a realization of a truth and secrets of the green tongue.
At dusk, on October 31st 2007, Samhain Birth Herbal Apothecary was born.
Pronounced “Sow-in”, Samhain is one of four holy pagan cross quarter days. It translates from Gaelic as “summer’s end”. Traditionally on this day the final harvests of fruit, nuts and seeds are gathered and shared. The livestock are brought in from the pasture or slaughtered. These and other important provisions are in put in place for the coming winter, also known as the “dark half of the year.”
On this day, the veil of reality is thin. During Samhain it is believed that our ancestors who have passed away before us are again by our side. We leave an empty chair by the fire and a plate of food for them on the table. On this night they will bring the wisdom of winter as secret blessings whispered quietly to the living. We repay them with spirit food and remembering. Our medicine remembers.
On a quiet little mountain in Vermont, Samhain Herbs follows an old law. With respect and in awe of the earth, our traditional medicines carry the power of the plants and the true spirit of their healing.

Integrative Health and Wellness Coaching
Although physical health is important, Integrative Health Coaches work to enhance well-being of the whole person. We use tools to assess where to begin and carefully tease out where you want to see yourself in three months. Health coaches do not provide psychotherapy or prescribe your plan of action.
As your coach, I will help you explore ways to improve your quality of life, opening new avenues to self-discovery and lasting change. I am available to support you on your way to lasting lifestyle changes by helping you maintain forward motion while cultivating self-motivation and accountability
