Hi, I’m Julia.
I’m a mother, an herbalist, and a birth doula.
I studied for 2 years in person with Sajah Popham at The School of Evolutionary Herbalism. It was a life-changing experience, and completely revolutionized my world-view in profound ways. My office and field work now includes the natural landscapes and plant teachers that are a part of my daily practice in this bountiful life I am grateful to live. I love working with people and plants to draw connections and catalyze the same spark of understanding I experienced in my training. Finding my school and training with my newfound family of herbalists was like coming home. My greatest joy is working away in my apothecary until sunset, coming up with new formulations to best serve my clients.
My training
“As we walk this plant path and gather medicine from the heart of Nature, it begins to sprout and grow within us into a living inner forest where we ourselves become the medicine.”
-Sajah Popham, School of Evolutionary Herbalism
Birth Keeping
I have served multiple families here on Lake Atitlan, including supporting their births, and facilitating postpartum care.
Birth is a profoundly sacred moment in our lives, and one you will never experience again. I hold space for the medicine of birth to be honored, supported, and protected.
I completed my training with DONA Int., but I found that my own personal experience of giving birth was the greatest teacher of all.
