Kat is a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild. She is also a certified clinical herbalist and nutritionist through the North American Institute of Medical Herbalism, where she studied with Paul Bergner in the Vitalist tradition. Kat holds workshops on herbalism, wild foods, medicine making, and botany, and teaches at various schools, conferences, and apothecaries. She also has a clinical practice through her business Meet the Green. 

 

Kat primarily works as a teacher and clinician, approaching both roles from a Vitalist perspective. This perspective is based on the belief that we all have a fundamentally intelligent life force that drives us, and that we are constantly in communication with and in service of this life force. 

 

For 12 years, Kat worked at the Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism in Boulder and Lafayette, CO. She served as primary faculty for the Fundamentals, Advanced, and Botany programs, and was the Clinical Program Director for the last 4 years of her time there. She is one of the cofounders of Forest to Field Festival, a gathering focused on the sharing of land based skills and ancestral knowledge, and cofounder of Apothecary Academy, an online herbalism program. 

 

Originally from the East Coast, Kat has a passion for bioregional herbalism. Over the past 14 years, she has developed a particular love for working with herbs of the Colorado Plateau. Her formal career with plants began with studying forestry at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ, and she has since developed a deep connection with the plants, animals, and incredible harsh beauty of the Southwest.
