Special thanks to all of my teachers that have taught me what I know!

To Nature, my first and always present guide. To my mom, who always nursed me back to health with love, plants and Polish herbal remedies. To my Babcia, who sends me rainbows and showed me how to use tinctures to settle the heart and to pray for divine intervention. To my Dziadziu, who learned the way of the land and the healing of plants to help keep his family healthy on a remote farm in Poland. To my grandma who survived being a single mother refugee during WWII in Europe by foraging and listening to her intuition and dreams. To my Dad who now shares her stories of survival and who helped me believe in the unseen world. To my incredible children, Gabe, Marin and Oliver, who have showed me how amazing this world really is and who open themselves up to the power of plants when they need them. To my husband, Ryan, who supports my wild adventures and sometimes even lets me rub weird concoctions on him. To my brother, Tom, who has always had my back and instills confidence in me when I’ve lost my way. To the polish pharmacist who so long ago offered me my first root tincture which became my miracle remedy.
