(she/her) Elizabeth started her journey in medicine at The University of Colorado Boulder where she studied psychology and neuroscience, believing she would go on to become a neurologist. However, Elizabeth quickly became jaded by the lack of holistic approaches or openness to alternative, natural methods of healing. She took a break from her collegiate studies and began to explore the wonders of natural healing on her own. She quickly realized the incredible possibilities of holistic medicine, and in 2023 started her formal education at CSCH. Elizabeth has since become obsessed and astounded with the power of herbal medicine to heal the body. She completed the Fundamental and Advanced courses of herbalism, and during these years has read several herbal books, consulted various textbooks,
sought historic records, and read hundreds of published papers to learn more about the intricacies of herbs and their healing effects on the body. Though there will always be a place for modern medicine, Elizabeth believes natural medicine is foundational to bolstering and revitalizing the innate healing processes of our bodies. She would be overjoyed to help guide you towards a natural approach to your health.
Her calling in life is to learn and gain experience from the opportunities God has given her, so that she can help as many people as possible, but outside of medicine she have a lot going on! Elizabeth is currently pregnant with her first baby (a sweet little boy!). She loves hiking (King’s Lake in Nederland is her favorite), long walks, cooking, baking, reading, and exploring new herbal research. After her little boy arrives, she’ll be getting back to strength training, running, and experimenting with herbal remedies, while also finishing her certification in Clinical
Herbalism.

(they/them) Jill is a Student Clinician at The Colorado School of Clinical Herbalism. They are currently taking on Clients in a mentor based school container. Jill specializes in Vitalist Practices, Western Herbalism Traditions, Flower Essences, as well as Lifestyle and Diet Recommendations. They started their journey with plants young, spending
hours in the garden with their Mom in San Diego, fingernails filled with dirt and heart filled with curiosity. Jill credits her for their continued pursuit of Plant Healing and Magic.
After moving to Colorado in 2015 they went to undergrad and majored in Cultural Anthropology with a minor in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Their world view shifted after taking an upper
division course called Plants and Society. It covered everything from different cultures to agricultural practice to Ethnobotany to designing your own ideal garden and Jill fell in love. They were the Teaching Assistant for the Class the following year and knew they had to have plant science in their life, in some way, forever- Herbalism found them two years later.
Jill is incredibly passionate about teaching. Specifically around creating Basic Herbal goods and making the Science of Herbalism as welcoming and exciting as it was for them when they first started. They believe Herbalism as a tradition is the most powerful when safely passed from person to person and shared within community. Jill is hoping to learn from each other soon!
