In today’s episode Teal shares her birth control journey from one type to another until she finally discovered fertility awareness cycle charting. You’ll discover how Teal’s personal experience and challenges with both hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptives inspired her to bring fertility awareness to her Clinical Herbalism practice.

Teal has always been deeply interested in exploring the ways that communities can come together to build health and resilience. She believes that self-care is an essential practice and that by nourishing ourselves, we are better able to show up for others. As a clinical herbalist, her goal is to work in partnership with clients to envision what wellness looks like for each individual, finding creative and pleasurable ways to incorporate herbs, medicinal foods, and seasonal practices into everyday life. Teal is a trauma-informed practitioner who emphasizes herbal care for generative/reproductive wellness, mental health, and navigating stressful times.
