In this episode, I interview Amy Dawson of Yin Dew Herbal Medicine. Amy has a beautiful story to share filled with dreams, connection and loving support from those around her. She had planned a home birth with a midwife, but ended up transferring to the hospital when there was meconium found in the amniotic fluid after her water broke. Rather than focusing on the disappointment of things not going the way she had planned, she focuses on the blessing of being exactly where she needed to be. 

Amy is a clinical herbalist & medicine maker rooted in the Wise Woman tradition of healing. She is a co-founder at Yin Dew with her husband where they make beautiful custom herbal formulas & specialty blends using Western & Chinese herbs. They provide their fine crafted herbal medicines at their own practices & formulate or blend herbal medicines for practitioners in other traditional & modern medicines.

"I find an important aspect to my own health & relationship with plants is aligning with the seasonal rhythms of the Earth. Plants grow and evolve, like us, in this rhythm. When I receive plants, they remind me of this natural dance that I am born & live within. They show me how to merge with the spiral of life, live in harmony & find balance through the ebbs & flows of my life. I enjoy the sensorial experiences plants give, their mystery & how they always reflect rise & fall so beautifully. Plants are the sweetest reminder of who is really in charge & they are always improvising with us, with me. Merging the Wise Woman Tradition with the myriad ways of nurturing relationship with Earth makes working with plants a journey that keeps me evolving to deeper parts of myself, which helps me continue breaking the barriers to what is possible."
