Kaleigh is a clinical herbalist and a restoration ecologist.


I am a clinical herbalist and restoration ecologist living in Hamilton, ON who works at the intersection of human & 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 dis-harmonies, constitutional assessment, plant chemistry and herbal–medication interactions with client-centred, trauma informed care. Consultations happen in-person, or virtually.

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 at no-cost.

In my restoration work, I support harmed and degraded landscapes move towards repair. Working with each client, I create spaces where people and the land can live in a more symbiotic relationship.

I completed a Graduate Certificate in Ecosystem Restoration at Niagara College which helped build skills in working with ecosystems, however my passion and advocacy work for wild spaces has always been central to my life. 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.

I am a settler of Scottish ancestry working in Hamilton, ON. My practice is based on the territory of Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Mississauga, Neutral, Erie and Huron-Wendat in Hamilton, ON. I believe that our personal well-being, community health and health of the ecosystem are dependent on abolishing the racist colonial Canadian state and the violent systems that uphold it.
