<\/h2>\n

Since my days of gardening as a child in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, I have always been captivated by plants.<\/span><\/p>\n

The hidden knowledge and versatility of plant life is astounding. During my teen years, I began my self-studies in herbalism, and in 2015, I started my formal training with Gigi Stafne of Green Wisdom School of Natural and Botanical Medicine. I am now a Master Herbalist who wants to use her knowledge of herbs to help others.<\/p>\n

My other schooling includes a Bachelor\u2019s degree in Geography from the University of Wisconsin \u2013 Eau Claire and a Master\u2019s degree in Environmental Studies from the University of Wisconsin \u2013 Madison.<\/p>\n

I have over 10 years experience in the horticulture field. I love plant identification!!<\/p>\n

I grew up in Northwest Wisconsin and gardened since childhood. I began to study herbalism in my early teenage years. This was before the internet. Astonishing, I know, but humans, such as myself do exist. I checked out every book I could about herbs at my local library. I read books about nature spirituality, various religions and spiritual paths, even getting into the self-help books. The list goes on to include, Native American Indian history, botany, healthy living, and metaphysics.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a year working as a Certified Nursing Assistant I went on to earn a Bachelors degree in Geography with an emphasis in Natural Resource Management and a minor in Creative Writing at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

The <\/span>Post-Baccalaureate Ronald E. McNair Program<\/a> helped me explore my options for further training. I was accepted into the University of Wisconsin – Madison Ph.D Botany Program. Within one semester I realized my interests were more aligned with the Environmental Studies. I graduated with a Masters degree from the <\/span>Gaylord Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies<\/a> housed on the University of Wisconsin – Madison campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Master’s thesis was “Population trends of white cedar in the Ojibwe treaty ceded territories of Northern Wisconsin: Ojibwe knowledge and scientific assessment”.<\/p>\n

My herbalism training was formalized in 2015, with Gigi Stafne, MH, ND, MI, through her Green Wisdom School of Natural and Botanical Medicine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I came about the name Full Circle Herbals because I like all aspects of herbs from\u00a0growing, harvesting, using, preserving, teaching, and creating.<\/p>\n

Some people like growing herbs, others would rather purchase herbs to make remedies and crafts. Some people like teaching about herbs more than growing them. I like all of it! From seed to soil, to body, mind, and spirit.<\/p>\n

That’s what you’ll find\u00a0 here ~ teaching, making, growing, seed saving . . . the Full Circle of herbs.<\/p>\n
