MEET THE HERBALIST

 

 

 

 

With over 1,100 hours of education and 15 years’ experience working in the garden and in a clinical setting with plants; Lauren is determined to bridge the gap between Ancient Tradition and newly emerging scientific research. This emerging research is a gift, that solidifies the foundation our Ancestors set before the convenience of modern technology.



 

My journey with plants began long before I knew the scientific names, or the affinities the constituents have on specific organs.

It began in 2007 as a garden hand, tending to plants. From watering, planting, transplanting, cloning, to harvesting and processing. 

In 2010 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Shortly after a check-up, she began having uncontrolable hives, swelling, and eczema. This stumped the medical professionals at the time. According to their professional opinion allergic reactions and anaphylactic symptoms don’t occur in children under one year of age.

At four months old Ivory developed food allergies. Ivory was exclusively breastfed, no matter how many adjustments I made to my diet; Ivory would continue to have allergic reactions. Her skin, so red, inflamed and swollen from the symptoms she was experiencing. The prescription steroid creams and OTC topical ointments didn’t alleviate any of her suffering. I was left frustrated and confused.

 I let this frustration and confusion fuel a deep passionate desire for healing. I returned to the garden, where it all began; for guidance.  I began making our own personal health products.

These products began showing tangible results for Ivory. Not long after that; did I have other parents, friends and family members approaching me for guidance and support. This birthed Sacred Infusions Apothecary. 

Fifteen years later, words cant express the gratitude I experience. I am honored to be respected and trusted by my community as their herbalist.
