History & Bio
How I Started
I began Oak Hollow Herbals in 1993 with the vision of operating a small, independent herbal company, crafting quality, local products. These products begin with herbs that naturally grow and wildcraft in the heart of the Catskill Mountains of New York State. I harvest each plant with love and respect for its life and the spirit of the earth. I am very careful not to over-harvest. Our products are made of the best ingredients and are pure and simple, infused with Reiki energy.
Many years ago while I was working in an Oregon co-op, an herbal book reached out and grabbed me. I bought it, studied it, and began a life-long learning with healing partnership of the plants. I then moved to the Catskills, where I now make my home and raised my three children. Since moving here I've studied with herbalists such as Pam Montgomery, Kate Gilday, Susun Weed, and Violet Snow.
For over twenty years I have been creating beautiful medicinal gardens all over the Catskill mountains. I grow traditionally used plants, wild craft plants that grow in the field, and protect endangered forest species that grow in these beautiful mountains. I grow, harvest and create herbal products for my family and community. Products are made in small batches and these products are available to you upon request. I am also available for weed-walks and workshops. For list of products, click button below.
