Meet Your Herbalist
Hey, I’m Jodi — herbalist, educator, maker, and forever student of the plants.
I’m here to help you reconnect with your health—and your herbs—in a way that’s practical, empowering, and deeply rooted in science and tradition.
My journey with herbalism didn’t start in a storybook forest. It began with a painful hip break, compliments of my horse, a lot of pain, and a stubborn refusal to rely solely on over-the-counter meds. I turned to herbs not as a trend but as a necessity, and what I found was healing, purpose, and a new way to live.
That healing journey changed everything.
Today, I’m a certified herbalist with over 15 years of experience, a passionate lifelong gardener, and the founder of HealWise — a space where you can learn to grow, make, and use your own herbal remedies with confidence and clarity.
My Approach?
At HealWise, we believe herbal medicine is for everyone — whether you’re just planting your first chamomile seed or perfecting your fiftieth batch of salve.
As a certified herbalist and permaculture practitioner who’s passionate about making herbalism accessible, practical, and grounded in both tradition and science. My journey started years ago when I opened The Urban Homesteading Store in Canada, blending hands-on gardening with a deep love of plants and natural healing.
Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to bridging the gap between old-school wisdom and modern research, empowering curious herbalists to grow their own healing journeys. I understand healing isn’t always straightforward, it’s personal, sometimes messy, but always worth it.
Through rooted, research-backed education, I’m here to guide you in discovering how nature’s plant allies can support your mental health, hormonal balance, digestion, and beyond, all in ways that fit your real life.
Whether you’re looking for simple growing tips, easy DIY remedies, or deeper herbal knowledge, HealWise offers honest, no-fluff guidance to help you take charge of your wellness with confidence and joy.
Let’s grow something good together.
