“Ask permission before taking. Abide by the answer.
Never take the first.Never take the last.
Take only what you need.
Give thanks for what you have been given.
Give a gift, in reciprocity for what you have taken.”

Our Herbal Standards
All of our remedies are handmade with reverence for the local ecosystem, using fresh, homegrown & foraged herbs whenever possible. Our herbal tinctures, oxymels, and elixirs are crafted from fresh plant material, herbs harvested within 5–24 hours of medicine-making.
When we cannot source our herbs from the Rocky Mountain region, we support small US herb farms, as well as local beekeepers to source my beeswax and honey.
We are deeply committed to ensuring that the production of our herbal medicine line supports not only the health of ecosystems, but also a culture of reverence and reciprocity with the land. This is why we sustainably hand-harvest most of the herbs, and bring thoughtfulness to all aspects of your experience, from where our oils are sourced, to how the salt is collected, down to which packaging materials we use.
With every Plant Healing Woman order, you are supporting women-led herbalism that is bioregional, regenerative and deeply healing.
"The lives that we are taking are the lives of generous beings, of sovereign beings, and in order to accept their gifts, we owe them at least our attention. To care for them we must know what they need and the very minimum we should know their names, and yet the average American can name over 100 corporate logos and ten plants”

Our Herbalist
Jay is a community herbalist, forager, menstrual cycle educator, and doula. She works at the intersection of herbal medicine, women's wellness, and ancestral healing.
Jay's path into herbal medicine began in 2018, rooted in a desire to explore body sovereignty, cyclical living, and healing outside conventional systems.
Shaped by her Ashkenazi Jewish heritage and the Rocky Mountains she calls home, Jay brings a deeply bioregional approach to her practice. This was crystallized through a pivotal 2020 apprenticeship with Israeli botanist Elaine Soloway, whose work traces the wild plants of the Israeli desert ecosystem back to ancient and biblical medicine. Since then, working intimately with the native plants of the land has been the beating heart of everything she does.
Over the years, Jay has trained through the School of Evolutionary Herbalism and studied under leading voices in women's herbalism including Aviva Romm, Rosemary Gladstar, and Rosalee de la Foret.
In 2024, she completed a training in Authentic Relating, and has had the deep honor of a year-long mentorship with Qiddist Ashe, traditional midwife, clinical herbalist, and radical birth keeper, whose teachings have profoundly shaped Jay's understanding of embodied care, herbal medicine, and tending to the womb through all stages of life.
Through Plant Healing Woman, Jay offers herbal consultations, medicine-making workshops, and menstrual cycle education for women seeking to reclaim their relationship with their bodies, the plants, and the earth.
