Hi there, I’m Misty, House Herbalist, and the woman behind Sonder Apothecary. I’ve always been drawn to natural alternative forms of healing and most importantly the connection between the mind, body, and spirit.  I have fond memories as a child helping my Great Grandmother in her expansive garden and creating "medicines" with grasses, flower buds, and leaves.  She's still a great inspiration to me and with grateful hearts, we celebrated her 100th birthday in October of 2022.  As an adolescent, I found myself reading the Homeopathic Materia Medica and would search out natural practitioners when I had health concerns.  Later in life, we had a son born with Cystic Fibrosis, and thus began my deep research into how to help support his body using plants and medicine from the Earth.  I often buried myself in medical journals and research articles, and would challenge his medical team frequently with how we could implement these methods to help supplement his treatment. Through this journey I've learned that the path to whole health is so much more than just the physical body.  We are truly constellations of existence, rich in layers and experiences, joy and grief, we are WHOLE humans.  And as such, I began to see the plant world through the same lens. With their unique intricacies and energetic expressions. I found that we could quite literally experience transformation through  dancing in each other's energetic signatures. 

​

While I have studied the works of Herbalist mentors over the years, I truly consider myself a student of the plants themselves. Sitting with them, using my senses, opening my heart and my mind, even communicating with them.  Through my herbal knowledge and my background in energy work, I’ve found a way to integrate not only traditional, ancient ancestral knowledge, but science and the esoteric as well. 
 

My dream for Sonder is to create an accessible, safe, beautiful space where people can be seen and validated in their experiences, as everyone has a different journey in life.  I hope to empower those I work with and help bring awareness to the relationships around them in life as anywhere there is a connection felt, there is an opportunity for synchrony and expansion. I help connect the little things in my clients lives to develop a bigger picture and help promote understanding on a deeper level that can help facilitate a full multidimensional, WHOLE HUMAN experience. 

I welcome you to Sonder Apothecary, my heart and soul
