Description

Join herbalist Katherine Elmer to traverse the folk wisdom and modern scientific understanding of some common wild and cultivated forest fungi. We will taste mushroom chai, share recipes, and discuss the optimal processing and medicinal benefits of tonic varieties of medicinal mushrooms such as shiitake, chaga, reishi and turkey tail. Katherine Elmer NB-HWC, grew up in the green hills of Central Vermont and revels in the opportunity to connect with clients around a shared love of place and nature through whole foods nutrition and herbal medicine. She is a clinical trained community herbalist and licensed health coach. She seeks to empower clients to develop (or rediscover) their own self-care strategies. Katherine is trained to work with medical doctors and other wellness practitioners to provide you with client-centered care.  In partnership with others, she hopes to participate in a system of healthcare wherein primary care is Nature-based and practiced in the home, the tools of conventional high-tech medicine serve as secondary resources, and the herbalist acts as a bridge between the two. Katherine teaches Herbal Medicine at the University of Vermont and Vermont State College. Katherine is co-founder of Railyard Apothecary and Spoonful Herbals, a Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach at UVM Medical Center, an activist/performer Botanical Burlesque, and a mom.
