About

   I have been studying Herbs and tea making for a few decades now. I remember a very powerful healing experience I had with the Plant Kingdom. It wasn't until I landed on the island of Kauai over 20 years ago that I really consciously & spiritually connected with the healing powers of plants. I was introduced to a Native Hawaiian plant called Noni. I fell in love with how it made me feel. I could feel sparks of light running through me. I learned how to make sun tea with Noni to keep my immune system strong. I continued to dive into Lā'au lapa'au a traditional medical practice of Ancient Hawaiians. It means, plants to treat, heal & cure, in short. They believed that physical ailments or illness was a result in the loss of 'mana' meaning energy within ones self. This is exactly what I had been studying already when I found the book How To Heal From A-Z, The Mental Cause for Physical Ailments by Louise Hay. It rang so true! I would hand out copies to anybody that would listen to my discoveries and receive this knowledge. Ok back to Lā'au lapa'au..There is an amazing book by June Gutmanis -  Lā'au lapa'au, "Ancient and Modern Herbal Prescriptions, Medical Kāhuna Diagnosing Illness, Losing and Regaining Spiritual Power, Medicines of Women and Children & Prayer Offerings." This was my first intro to Herbal Studies and my first Herbal Book. It is a fantastic book with so much history and Hawaiian stories told about the different Kāhuna's, plants, 'Aumakua and Hawaiian terms and translations.

I'm Sure you can find these books somewhere else as well if you don't use Amazon.

   I’m certified in Family Herbology through Dr. Christopher’s School of Natural Healing and am slowly making my way toward completing the Master Herbalist course there. Alongside that journey, I’m also immersed in an intensive Herbal Practitioner’s course with Evolutionary Herbal School. My passion for herbal medicine and self-healing continues to be my guiding light to keep creating and be awe inspired to be here at this time.

Over the years, I’ve had the honor of learning from some incredible master herbalists, taking their courses to further my knowledge including Kami McBride, Raw Maraby, Rosalee de la Forêt, and Rosemary Gladstar to name a few.  I’m endlessly inspired by their wisdom and continue to learn all I can so that I can share this knowledge with you. I created Flying Hawk Herbals so I can share the healing powers and awareness of herbs and I love hawks! They are powerful message bringers.

My greatest joy is helping others discover the healing power of the Plant Kingdom and guiding you to reconnect with nature, awaken your own inner healer, and find balance through the gifts of Mother Earth.
