Samantha Grant, Certified Clinical Herbalist

Samantha Grant (she/her) is a clinical herbalist, herbal educator, and medicine maker located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute Nations, in the so-called front-range of Colorado. As a Certified Clinical Herbalist, Nutritionist, and Bach Flower Essence Practitioner trained in the Vitalist Tradition, Sam is grateful for the community and the lineage of heart-centered herbalists who practice in the vitalist tradition and is honored to study alongside them as a forever-student of the earth. Through maintaining her own continuing education and ancestral healing practices, Sam hopes to spread love and reverence for these traditions while also creating a safe and sacred space for her community to blossom and grow.

When Samantha isn’t working as a clinical herbalist at The Stinging Nettle Apothecary, she supports clients in her private practice, Full Moon Medicinals, with holistic health and flower essence consultations. She also teaches classes on herbalism and medicine making and provides apprenticeship opportunities for other budding herbalists embarking on their journey into learning herbalism and deepening their skills in the vitalist tradition. Sam is a Co-Steward for the Denver Herb Club, offering accessible workshops for the plant-curious community in Denver and beyond. Additionally, Sam is the co-founder of Streetside Care Collective, a mutual-aid organization in Denver offering harm reduction and a free herbal wound care clinic to the Denver community each Sunday.

Samantha has experience as the Clinic Director at Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism where she was the principal case reviewer for the Clinical Herbalism program. She was also the program coordinator for the Fundamentals and Advanced Herbalism programs, where she was a member of the teaching faculty and mentored students throughout their education with her expertise in clinical herbalism, advanced medicine-making skills, flower essences, formulation, research, and advanced clinical skills.

Samantha focuses on the ethics of anti-racism, trauma-informed care, harm reduction, gender-informed care, and anti-oppression in her mentorship and teaching, to meet each individual where they’re at in their healing journey and to provide students and practitioners with the skills to do the same for their communities.
