From Burnout to Balance: My Journey from OT to Herbal Healing Triumph

About me

I graduated with my MBSOT in 2017 for my Occupational therapy degree and have primarily worked with the older adult and elderly population for increasing one's level of independence. However, in 2020 the trauma's of COVID-19 made it extremely difficult to find purpose in my job title, I felt like I was losing a never ending battle. On a quest for spiritual attainment, I discovered Rosemary Gladstar's online herbal schooling and wholeheartedly dived into the program with a furious new passion and completed my certification within a year. My education lead me down a path of recognizing the importance of holistic medicine and western medicine with appropriate balance rather than two spectrums of extremes. Just as our bodies are attempting to find continuous balance, so does the concept of medicine. To achieve this, I integrate the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to guide understanding health and wellness struggles and to build rapport with clients which aids in the development of appropriate herbal medicine to meet quality of life goals (i.e. pain management, hormone imbalances, anxiety, GI disorders).
