I am a home remedy and spa herbalist, an experienced forager of wild food, flowers, and herbs, and a visual artist, for more than twenty-five years. And I am a certified allergy chef (certified in both Allertrain and ServSafe Allergens).
I’m also a survivor of multiple autoimmune disease and an anaphylactic who carries epipens for life-threatening food and environmental allergies. In 2011 I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune condition known as Orbital Pseudotumor/Granuloma and received treatment for several years at Stanford Hospital including radiation and immune therapy. I have also lived with severe allergic reactions my entire life, starting as a toddler in the 1960s. I am passionate about serving my autoimmune and allergy community–with a special interest in bringing comfort and joy through my writings, recipes, and handmade goods.
Today I reside in Oregon’s banana belt–I live with my geeky husband and sassy parrot. I like to garden, forage, collect driftwood and agates, and spend a lot of time in my kitchen formulating new spa and culinary creations.
