FOUNDER

Clinical Herbalist | Garden Coach | Botanical Formulator

I’m a Clinical Herbalist, Garden Coach (UF IFAS Extension Urban Agriculture Certified and Gardenary Certified), and Interior Design Institute–certified practitioner with a deep passion for the relationship between plants, people and the spaces we inhabit.

A Turning Point

After building a successful corporate career, my life shifted when I became pregnant. I could no longer use my retinol skincare products and began exploring plant-based alternatives. What began as curiosity about botanical skincare quickly evolved into a deeper study of plant medicine and the role herbs and plants can play in supporting our overall well-being.

Around that same time, a company-wide layoff prompted me to rethink my professional path. Instead of returning to the corporate world, I chose to integrate my background in leadership with my growing studies in herbalism and plant-based living.

That decision led to the creation of Casa + Jardin. First as a blog - then as a business.

Our Mission

Through Casa + Jardin, I share a belief that we are deeply connected to the natural world and that plants are powerful allies in supporting our mental, physical and spiritual well-being. My work centers on creating thoughtfully formulated botanical products and sharing herbal education with the goal of helping people reconnect with plants on their own holistic journey.
