Private Workshops and Walks

Missy offers customized classes for individuals and groups. Topics can range from a backyard medicinal plant tour to how to make home remedies using healing herbs. Some of our favorite custom classes have included:
Medicinal Weeds & Garden Plants Walk — If you live in an urban neighborhood, you have an abundance of healing plants growing near your home — we guarantee it! Learn to identify your neighborhood medicinal plants.
How to Make Fire Cider, Party-Style — This versatile, immune-supportive home remedy is fun to make with a group of friends! And everybody goes home with a personalized, delicious batch for themselves.
Creating an Herbal First Aid Kit — A plant medicine kit, tailored to your needs! We’ll discuss how to customize and choose the best herbs for a home first aid kit, a family camping trip, a long drive to burning man, a protest medic kit, or whatever adventures you’re going on.
Making Great Tinctures — Which alcohol percentage is best? What kind of solvents work for which plants? This is a great class for beginners and intermediate herbalists alike.

Customized Field Trips

Botanical education hikes, foraging walks, and mushroom hunts are super fun! As with workshops, topics are highly customizable, and can range from novice-level to intermediate/advanced. Field trips are typically either 4 or 6 hours long, plus transit time. Groups are welcome to design a specialized class with a specific place in mind, like First Aid Herbs Found on Our Family’s Farm, or request a trip that the instructors plan, such as Edible Mushroom Foraging. Missy has limited availability during peak times, such as autumn mushroom foraging season, so consider booking in advance if you’re interested in a specific seasonal offering.

Please inquire about pricing, scheduling, and class size for private workshops, walks, and field trips.

Health Consultations

Missy is available for health consultations by phone or in person. As a clinically trained herbalist, she looks for patterns of imbalance in each individual’s unique constitution and searches for root causes to health issues. As a deeply pragmatic scorpio, she prefers to keep things simple and pared down. Health consultations are educational opportunities; Missy is not a licensed practitioner and does not diagnose, prescribe, or treat illness. She will, however, ask questions about your pertinent health history and educate you on herbs as well as lifestyle and dietary shifts that can support your wellness goals.

Topics of a health consultation could range from specific troubles, such as sleep dysregulation, urinary tract infections, or premenstrual symptoms; to systemic issues, like deep immune work or liver support; to emotional wellness, including grief, stress, and anxiety.

Health consultations are priced low in the spirit of keeping wellness accessible. They are $50-$150, sliding scale; other options are available if that price point is a barrier to access. Herbs are not included in the cost, but a 30% discount on tinctures is available to current health consultation clients.
