Apprendre à me connaître
Je m'appelle Naomi Kilbreth et je suis une herboriste clinicienne chrétienne. J'aide les personnes ayant une mission pour leur vie à trouver la liberté, l'espoir et la joie dans leur santé. Je permet aux gens de renouer avec leur instinct de prendre soin d'eux-mêmes naturellement, leur apprend à trouver et à fabriquer leur propre médicament et les aide à créer des plans de bien-être holistiques qui incluent la nutrition, des options de mode de vie et bien sûr des herbes !
Je suis herboriste et aromathérapeute certifiée par la Heart of Herbal School. Je suis également certifié en compétences d'évaluation holistique par le Matthew Wood Institute of Herbalism. J'ai réussi l'examen d'herboristerie communautaire au Commonwealth Center for Community Herbalism et j'ai commencé le processus d'acceptation des herboristes enregistrés auprès de l'American Herbalist Guild. J'aime apprendre et lire régulièrement des livres sur les plantes et la santé, et j'essaie constamment de nouvelles techniques d'identification des plantes, je formule de nouveaux remèdes à base de plantes et je me renseigne sur les problèmes de santé courants.
En tant qu'épouse et mère de quatre enfants ayant des antécédents de nombreux problèmes de santé au sein de ma famille, l'herboristerie m'a permis de pouvoir subvenir aux besoins de mes proches d'une manière qui rétablit le bien-être et nous rassemble. Mes enfants sont souvent dans la cuisine avec moi pour préparer des thés, préparer des remèdes à base de plantes et expérimenter des épices. L'herboristerie est loin d'être seulement mon métier - c'est un mode de vie pour nous, et cela me procure une grande joie d'aider les autres à se l'approprier aussi.

My name is April Martin. I currently live in the state of Maine with my husband and two dogs. Growing up, my mother raised my brother and I as vegetarians and treated us from a holistic approach. While western medicine has been used when called for, often she seemed to always have a remedy on hand, tea, herbal remedies, dietary supplements. My mother went to the Hippocrates Institute when she was younger to address some of her own health issues which influenced her approach on treating her own family and has passed on this knowledge to us. This has been my origin point to finding myself on this specific path of herbalism as an approach to supporting my family’s health.
I have personally found it to be very empowering to be able to address common ailments with at home remedies for issues such as skin conditions, GI upsets, and onset of cold and flu season. I also have gone through periods of high stress and anxiety that have affected my health where the ease came from herbal support. I have experienced first-hand that herbs and plants have provided balance to not just treating symptoms allopathically but energetically as well including supporting the nervous system, easing stressed emotional and mental states. I believe the connection to herbs and plants that have been around for millennia are timeless, tried and true in supporting the health of the mind, body and spirit. My interest is in providing the education and teaching simple at home approaches to supporting our health, helping others to become empowered in their personal health journey. I absolutely love the opportunity I have had so far to study the path of herbalism, learning from the wise teachers that have walked before us.

I am also a member of Town Square Herbalism.
I started a business offering small-batch, organic tea blends for easing stress and supporting overall well-being. Starting August 2022, I have been attending local artisan and craft markets offering tea blends to support health and well-being. My favorite part of being a part of local community craft fairs is being able to connect with others in person about herbalism and the support it offers our health. I also offer my tea blends through my website. In addition, I have also had the privilege of teaching a couple of classes this year (2024) on tea blending specifically related to learning about herbs to ease stress and balance the nervous system.
Herbalist Mentee
Hello! My name is Natashia Atkinson. My journey into herbalism began at home. Learning to care for my children and family one natural idea at a time to eventually spur into a way of living. Filling the way of our family with good health and habits, our cupboards full of natural remedies and life-giving foods, and an ever-growing knowledge; learning always continues.
I am a woman of faith, a mama to 6, and the wife of Wallo Atkinson. We are a homeschooling family residing in Wisconsin.
I enjoy many things, such as growing a very large garden for our family providing many foods for our year, growing herbs to make into remedies and support for ourselves and those around us. I very much enjoy making bread from fresh milled grains and learning the old timeless kitchen skills, passing them on to my children. I have spent many years serving in different facets of ministry, everything from children's ministries to leading worship, administrative and mentorship support as well. I enjoy bible study and filling my bible with notes of the treasures I find within the pages and reading to learn about everything from theology to nourishing my family! I also very much enjoy running a nonprofit providing free laundry washing for neighbors in my community!
I spent about a decade of my life as an active Birth & Bereavement Doula, and a natural childbirth educator. Working with mama's and families empowering them to take their experience into their owns hands, teaching and guiding them of their options and abilities! Then, also supporting mamas and families who had to suffer loss and helping them navigate that while keeping their dignity and honoring their little one's precious life.
