 Kathy | MWH CoordinatorAs a very young girl growing up in rural Wisconsin I connected with the woods. I found comfort from my first plant ally, bergamot. I would crush the dried flower buds and inhale the aroma. All the abuse I endured, melted away. Thus began my journey, remembering ancestral knowledge and wisdom, both enlightening and guiding me. I have gratitude to many healers and elders, for time spent in the woods connecting with the earth medicines. Always circling back to the healing of self and others. |  Ashley | MWH CoordinatorAshley Oomen is a wife and mother of three who resides in rural West Michigan and is currently embarking on her journey to Midwifery. As someone who loves getting lost in nature she nourishes her soul by hiking, camping, kayaking, wildcrafting, and spending time in her garden. The community of wise women at Midwest Women’s Herbal have created a magical sisterhood that she is honored to be a part of. |  Tina | MWH CoordinatorTina Hope currently works as the Food Systems Coordinator and Yoga Instructor at Knox College.
