I have been using herbs for the past few years to keep my family healthy and I. I saw such a difference that I had to share it with the world. I struggled with dry skin and acne into adulthood so I started using herbs to address my skin issues. I have always loved tea so herbal tea became a daily drink for me. I began experimenting with different herbs to clear my skin and my first tea blend was born. When it came to my dry skin I began using shea butter since it was thick and long lasting . When my son was born, I realized he needed more than just shea butter so my first herbal butter was created.
I have always been into health and medicine. I started with a goal to become a nurse, so I attended CCBC finishing with an Associates in Science and decided not to go to nursing school. I then received a B.S. from Towson University in biology and decided I wanted to become a medical doctor. As I finished my degree, I began to realize I wanted to focus more on nutrition and preventative health. I began looking more into integrative and functional medicine to find a better was to truly heal common ailment and not just resolve symptoms. I eventually found Maryland University of Integrative Health. I graduated in 2021 with a M.S. in nutrition with a concentration in herbalism.
During my time in school I began working in healthcare as it comes natural to me. Most of my time was spent working with children on the autism spectrum. I spent he first 6 years working on the inpatient unit at Kennedy Krieger providing one on one behavioral therapy. I then began doing in- home therapy as a registered behavioral technician (RBT). I've even spent time working in a hospital setting with University of Maryland as a patient safety companion.
In 2021 I began working for the state's Women, Infant and Children program (WIC) providing breastfeeding and nutrition counseling. I provide all necessary info for mothers and children on topics from pregnancy, feeding and any other concern until the age of 5. The root of my study and work as always been centered around natural healing with food and exercise. Even when working in the medical field I was more geared toward healing with food and herbs.
I also became a certified personal trainer (CPT) in 2024. I had been training family and friends for a while so it made sense to get certified. Exercise is necessary to stay healthy, so having the ability to train clients as well was the next best step. At the end of 2024, I began doing assisted stretching. After working with a company doing both, I began doing it on my own as well. Therefore, the service based side of Botany Brews began to grow! Soon we will offer a wider variety of consultations for topics like breastfeeding, meal planning and more! More products will also be added this year as well so stay updated with us on Instagram and Facebook @botanybrews.
