About Me

My name is Max (my pronouns are they/them) and I am a community herbalist and mental health coach. I believe in our bodies' innate abilities to heal, and also recognize the constant stress and inundation inherent in being alive in the current world. Even for folks who have the resources to seek out doctors and specialists, there is an undeniable lack of nuanced, holistic, preventative care. What I offer is a different approach to care, one that takes into account the entire person, their history, and the environment they live in, not just a list of symptoms. There is a lot of pain, trauma, and struggle in the world that manifests, physically, in our bodies. My approach to healing, coaching, and herbalism is to get an understanding of the larger picture, to call upon plants as allies, to suggest lifestyle changes, come up with care plans, wellness plans, or safety plans, and to meet each person where they are at. We will come up with a strategy to reduce harm and heal, together. Nobody knows your body and mind better than you. I am passionate about sharing the knowledge I have acquired and hope that each person I work with gains tools to aid in taking care of their own health and the well being of others.
