herbalism ● regenerative ecology ● education

Kaleigh is a clinical herbalist, educator and ecologist.

I am a registered clinical herbalist (RH, OHA) who works at the intersection of human, community & environmental health.

In my herbal practice, I match-make people with plant medicines and work with clients to support them in meeting their holistic health goals. I weave an understanding of physiology, processes of disease and disharmonies, constitutional assessment, plant chemistry and herbal–medication interactions with client centered, trauma informed care.

Over the years I have been studying herbal medicine my teachers have included Savayda Jarone, RHP, CHT, MNIMH, 7Song, RH(AHG), Ember Peters, RHP (HANS), Stascha Stahl, Vilde Chaya Fenster-Ehrlich, Shabina Lafleur-Gangji RAc RTCMP and Colleen Emery, Cl.H, RHT (BCHA).

While I was a student at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine, I completed clinical mentorship with 7Song at the Ithaca Free Clinic, working alongside an integrative health team supporting community members with limited access to healing resources at no-cost.

Human and environmental health to be inseparable and see it as a big honour and responsibility as a herbalist to support the repair, recovery and resilience of the land. I work in deep reverence for the living world around me and have strong commitments to dismantling the structures that degrade, displace and destroy the land and water as well as support harmed and degraded landscapes move towards repair.

Why work with me?

I offer approachable and accessible support that can help you connect to your own capacity for wellbeing. We work together to come up with strategies that you feel confident implementing.

I understand the connection and interplay between the physical, mental, emotional, and environmental and community contributors to health.
I work with herbs that I have grown myself or sourced well, and make potent and effective herbal medicines that are blended into your formulas.

I work to support the people around me and my community to feel strong, supported and nourished to keep doing the work of liberation and social change and to be more equipped to survive and confront daily violence.

I love engaging with tensions and possibilities about community care, sickness & “wellness,” plants, land & medicine, health liberation and social transformation.

I won’t ever pressure you to make healthy choices or insinuate that being healthy is the morally superior position. I won’t pressure conforming to a normative idea of health. I see wellness as resistance, as finding ways to thrive amongst the ruins, of finding our way to unlock more capacity for ourselves and our communities.

I have training in supporting clients with pre- and post- surgery support, holistic support decreasing substance use, immune and auto-immune conditions, blood sugar management, PTSD and C-PTSD, sleep and digestive system complaints.

I am a settler of Scottish ancestry. I spend my time between Sɨpekne’katik, within Unceded Mi’kmaq Territory, and Unceded Anishnaanbe and Haudenosaunee territory in so-called Southern Ontario. I believe that our personal well-being, community health and health of the ecosystem are dependent on going further than land acknowledgements and must work towards abolishing the colonial Canadian state and the violent systems that uphold it.
