Hi, I’m Kate. I am a storyteller, plant tender, and vibrational medicine-maker devoted to remembering while evolving the traditional ways.

Alongside regathering the stories and plant medicine of my grandmother and great-grandmother (a healer in her community in Utuado,) I began to grow, cultivate, and reclaim this knowledge and tradition which led me to embark on an immersive 1:1 apprenticeship with ethnobotanist Maria Benedetti in Puerto Rico. I also now live on the west coast of the island where I tend to the land. 

I have a background as an educator and community organizer for 9+ years, which were also interwoven with school and community garden work.

I am professionally trained, studied and practiced in hypnosis via Restorative Hypnosis: a deep form of energetic and somatic healing via subconscious journeying. I have also studied under Evolutionary Herbalism’s advanced clinical herbalism. But mostly, my expertise is in my lived, embodied experience.

My work lives at the crossroads of story and plant medicine, and how both can be vehicles for us to remember our roots, and to inspire healing within our lineages that have been impacted by our disconnection. This is where story, lineage, and land meet to awaken the body’s innate capacity for healing.

My work with flower essences is both personal and collective. I am documenting the healing capacity of flowers from Puerto Rico and honoring their ability to restore harmony in sensitive beings. I see this practice as story medicine — an ongoing dialogue between multi-generational memory and possibility.

Through teaching, storytelling, and shared ritual, I guide others in attuning to the language of plants and lineage, remembering that we, too, are part of nature’s myth, each of us carrying a seed of ancestral wisdom ready to bloom.
