Meet Kate

I’m glad you’re here! My name is Kate. I’m a red-headed, sanguine-melancholic, ENFP mama with a penchant for herbalism and diving into somewhat crazy homestead adventures.

A few quick things about me:

I highly value authenticity in relationships. I can be nothing other than myself, and I want others to be the same.

I have 8 children. What on earth. And I love them more than life itself.

I used to be a vegetarian for a decade, and now we raise some of our own meat.

I drive my 12 passenger van like a race car.

Mixing up herbal remedies is my happy place. I love to share the earthy beauty of plant medicine with anyone willing. Herbalism doesn’t have to be complicated, overwhelming, or difficult. I’m here to help.

I entered marriage as a classically trained oboist, never having changed a diaper in my life before having kids of my own. I couldn’t cook. I still struggle with keeping a house. But I have learned a lot, and you can, too.

What else do you want to know? How can I help you? We’re in this together; let’s lift each other up!
