WELCOME!

and hello, my name is Lauren MacDonald.

Thanks for your curiosity about me.

I come to this practice through a journey started in my own search for healing and balance. Early in my nursing career, my heart was talking. I felt overwhelmed, disconnected and depleted. I sought out care with herbalists and plant allies. They helped me lean into new ways of seeing and choosing myself.

I am weaving a practice rooted in the strengths of seasons, elements, and plants. Honoring WHOLEness and offering nourishment wherever we are on our path.

Much of my practice aligns with my studies at Blue Otter School of Herbal Medicine, with Karyn Sanders and Sarah Holmes. Their teachings continue to inform my work and my life. I am very grateful for their guidance. I have also been fortunate to study at the California School of Herbal Studies.

I am trained, licensed and practice as a Registered Nurse. I strive to help people find balance accessing many systems and types of care.

I am trained and practice as a birth, postpartum and abortion doula. I offer generative health support to families and individuals in pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, fertility, surrogacy, bereavement, termination and menopause.

This practice has a lot to offer the world, a lot to offer YOU!

I am honored to have the privilege to offer my knowledge and skills to support your WELL being.
