"Your research is rock solid. Your storytelling is immersive and the way you bring everything full circle makes the information land in such an embodied way. Your classes are interactive and genuinely thought provoking. I always leave feeling inspired and wanting to dive even deeper.
I’ve had a consultation and worked privately with you and it was genuinely life changing.... you’re the reason I finally started sleeping. Sleep is sweet sweet medicine.
Your way of listening is unlike anything else. You don’t just hear symptoms you hear the whole story and you connected dots in my journey that no one else had ever even noticed.
Your protocol recommendations were thoughtful and rooted in both science and real intuition. And your apothecary goods? Absolutely top tier. You craft with such intention and integrity that you can literally feel it.
Working with you felt supportive and empowering. like someone finally saw the bigger picture of what was happening and handed me tools that actually worked. I’m so grateful for you."

"From the first time I saw you speak, I was pulled in by your poetic weavings... It’s obvious to me that you have a lot of detailed research to share, and even if you don’t get to everything, you always hint at the whole vision which makes me more curious as a student."

"I’ve spent the last three years being mentored by Ash, and the experience has been deeply grounding and empowering. What stands out most is how personalized her approach is—there’s no one-size-fits-all curriculum. Instead, Ash collaborates with me to identify my interests and knowledge gaps, then builds a plan tailored to what will benefit me personally.
Ash is incredibly transparent and honest. She never pretends to be an expert in something she’s not, and she’s always open about where her knowledge comes from—there’s no gatekeeping, just genuine sharing.
Her mentorship goes far beyond lectures. Some of my most meaningful experiences have been out in the field—harvesting, processing plants, making medicine, and having long, thoughtful conversations. These hands-on experiences brought the learning to life in ways I’ll never forget.
Ash has given me the tools and confidence to keep exploring on my own, and she’s been a true supporter—not just in my plant work, but in life in general."

"I love that you blend the mythical and philosophical with the scientific and logical. Your classes are both poetic and informative. Always well researched and finding all the connections and interweaving amongst disciplines.
I really feel that you have an authentic voice, you're very knowledgeable in both the scientific and mythical realms which I appreciate as I feel most teachers tend to lean one way or another."

The relationship she wove spanned tradition, cross-cultural history, chemical constituents, intuitive guidance and lineages of elders— a blend of of teachings that helped me meet these plants, as if it were my first time all over again, but this time with deep care and reverence for their place in the world, and their place within myself. Her style is raw, compassionate, data-driven & heart-led through her unwavering intimate studies in the field.
It was a privilege to have a teacher that was so deeply rooted in her devotion to the plants and feel how that devotion became a part of my own inherent connection and life’s work.”
