Rachael Reeves has been studying herbal medicine for over 15 years. She has studied with Howie Brownstein, Phyllis Light, Colette Gardner, and Michael Moore. She is a North Carolina native who is deeply at home in and inspired by Southern culture, especially its rich history of herbal healing.

Jen Stovall grew up in the North Georgia piedmont and spent her summers in the Southern Appalachians surrounded by the verdant abundance of medicinal plants. Although she didn’t know it at the time, some of those plants would grow to be some of her most significant allies. Later, as Jen left Georgia to traipse across the country (and some other countries too), she began to study how to identify plants for food and medicine. As the wind blew her hither and thither, she acquired her Wilderness EMT certification and became a licensed NADA ear acupuncture practitioner and trainer.
