Our Story

Welcome โ€” and thank you for being here.

This space reflects an approach to health that prioritizes understanding before intervention. While it includes thoughtfully selected remedies and educational resources, the heart of the work is clinical discernment โ€” using assessment, timing, and appropriateness to support the body rather than overwhelm it.

My Work Today

My work today is grounded in clinical assessment and functional insight โ€” helping individuals understand what their bodies are communicating and how to respond with clarity rather than guesswork.

I work with people navigating complex or persistent health concerns, using functional lab data to identify patterns, establish priorities, and guide next steps. This structured approach brings order to what often feels overwhelming and allows support to be applied thoughtfully, not reactively.

Rather than offering generalized advice or isolated recommendations, my work focuses on timing, context, and appropriateness โ€” so interventions support the bodyโ€™s physiology instead of competing with it.

The Role of Plant Medicine in My Clinical Work

Plant medicine plays an integral role in my clinical work because of its deep compatibility with human physiology. Plants and humans share conserved biochemical architectures โ€” including mineral-dependent enzymes, signaling pathways, and molecular frameworks โ€” that allow plant constituents to interface naturally with the body at the cellular level.

Because of this, plant remedies are not applied as generic supplements or symbolic supports, but as biologically active tools that can influence regulation, metabolism, detoxification, and resilience when used appropriately.

In my practice, the use of plant medicine is guided by assessment, timing, and physiological readiness. Functional lab data helps determine when botanical support is indicated, how it should be introduced, and what the body is capable of receiving at a given time. This prevents indiscriminate use and allows plant medicines to work in cooperation with the body rather than against it.

This disciplined integration of plant intelligence and clinical assessment is central to how I work โ€” honoring both the sophistication of traditional botanical medicine and the clarity offered by modern functional evaluation.

The Spagyric Lineage & Valchemy Remedies (Coming Spring 2026)

Alongside my clinical work, Iโ€™ve spent more than 25 years studying and practicing traditional plant medicine, including the art and science of spagyric herbalism.

Beginning in 2019, while living and working in Morocco, I started crafting and bottling spagyric plant remedies using classical alchemical methods. These preparations follow a time-intensive process that separates and recombines the essential principles of the plant, resulting in medicines that are highly bioavailable, concentrated, and deeply supportive of whole-system balance.

Unlike conventional tinctures, spagyric remedies are prepared through multiple stages of fermentation, distillation, calcination, and recombination. The finished medicines often require only half the typical dosage, while delivering a broader spectrum of the plantโ€™s therapeutic potential.

After years of refinement, Iโ€™m pleased to share that my own line โ€” Valchemy Spagyric Plant Remedies โ€” is scheduled to launch in the United States in Spring 2026. These remedies will be introduced thoughtfully and intentionally, as a natural extension of this work.

Iโ€™ll be sharing more about this lineage soon.
