Maria | MWH Coordinator

Maria is an integrative healer and a self-love warrior with a deep and diverse background in both the culinary and healing arts. As a teacher, biodynamic craniosacral therapist, business owner, herbalist, and spiritual writer it has been her path throughout her many lifetimes to guide others. When she is not busy writing, taking care of her animals or unschooling her feral daughter, she can often be found playing in the woods, communing with the flora and fauna and dancing with the faeries.

Katherine | MWH Coordinator

I am beginning the search for my path in the plant world in my garden and kitchen. I deeply believe in nutritional herbalism and its power to assist the body and incorporating it into my daily meal routines. I am beyond excited and grateful to be a part of MWH and learn from many of the authors of the resources that have guided me these past few years and continue to shape my plant path.

Grassflower | MWH Coordinator

I am a mother of 4 and grandmother of 7. I am also a retired Family Nurse Practitioner and Certified in Homeopathy. I love the plant and fungus world and being at the Midwest Herbal Women’s Conference communing with them.
