Tending plants, people, and story in Appalachia
Welcome
I am grateful you are here
My name is Megan, and I presently live in Southern Appalachia.
I am an East-West Herbalist, Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor, Doula, gardener, Permaculture Designer, land steward, writer, artist, dreamer, sister, daughter, and Master’s candidate in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
I am devoted to being a bridge to the wisdom of the natural world. As an animist, I see my work in the world as guiding individuals back home to themselves through connection with the natural realm, myth, and seasonal rhythms. I am equally as passionate about tending the soil, the seeds, and the tiniest parts of our ecosystems as I am about tending our minds, bodies, and spirits. It is all interconnected.
Since I was very young, I have been sensitive to the world around me and drawn to the wild for nourishment. Through my relationship with nature, I have discovered the many forms of mind, body, and spirit medicine she provides.
I am immensely grateful for my human, animal, plant, and fungi teachers, near and far, for being guiding lights on this heart-led path.

A private 1:1 offering exploring the questions, transitions, and inner landscapes of your life through mythology, symbolism, reflection, and guided writing. I will thoughtfully select a myth or folktale for our time together, allowing the story to become a place for deeper listening, curiosity, and discovery.

Personalized herbal guidance rooted in Western herbalism and Ayurveda. Together, we explore supportive plant allies and everyday practices that honor your individual constitution, rhythms, and relationship with the natural world.

Thoughtful guidance for creating abundant, ecologically minded gardens and landscapes. Drawing from permaculture, regenerative gardening, medicinal and edible plants, I help you cultivate spaces that nourish both people and the ecosystems they belong to.
