Clinical & Spiritual Herbalist in Salt Lake City
Ancient Medicine for the Whole Being

Kinship Medicine

The closer we get to the plants, the more their medicine and wisdom flows into our lives. My practice is all about connecting you to the plants through personalized education, simple ritual, and direct experience- all rooted in ancient approaches to whole-person wellness.
The Plants

Our collective ancestral traditions of herbalism approach plants as persons: wise spirits of nature who convey energy, information, and guidance to our healing path. They inform every part of my work and become allies on the journey. Your session with me will be an experience of plant presence and power.
Ancient Wisdom

The plants aren’t limited to the physical. Since time immemorial we have turned to them for medicine and nourishment- but also for inspiration, guidance, initiation, and centering. By working with herbs in this way we access the full spectrum of their healing gifts while becoming more ourselves along the way.

Josh Williams · Clinical Herbalist · Salt Lake City, Utah

I’ve been a student of our wise plant kin for over 25 years- beginning with study of plant folklore from around the world and culminating in several formal clinical and medical herbalism programs. I combine 10 years of clinical experience with profound kinship and ritual connections of spiritual herbalism to focus sessions on bringing you into direct, personal contact with the plants and their many gifts.

My clinical herbalism sessions combine comprehensive assessment, custom formulation, and tailored protocols with immersive rituals, journeywork, and facilitated experiences to connect you to the wisdom, nourishment, and medicine of the plants. I offer guidance in both herbal medicine and holistic nutrition to support foundational wellness and address healing goals.

What to Expect in Your Session

Initial consultations are longer and designed to establish a clear picture of your health landscape and whole-being.

During your first session, we will:

Review your health history in detail
Discuss current symptoms and underlying patterns
Identify realistic goals for care
Design an initial herbal strategy tailored to you
Craft custom formulations in our vibrant herbal apothecary

Follow-up sessions allow us to track changes, refine formulations, and respond to how your body is actually responding.

My Approach to Herbalism

Herbal medicine can be approached many ways. My practice is for those who want thoughtful, well-contained care; not quick fixes or broad-stroke protocols.
Whether we are addressing physical patterns, supporting the nervous system, or working with plants in a more mindful and spiritual way,
everything I offer is grounded in clinical reasoning, ethical boundaries, and lived experience.

This is herbalism practiced with attention: to the body, to the land, and to the deeper rhythms that shape wellness over time.

My work blends traditional Western herbalism with modern clinical reasoning and a deep respect for the intelligence of plants.

Sessions may include:

Comprehensive intake and health history
Constitutional and pattern-based assessment
Custom herbal formulations
Lifestyle and dietary considerations through holistic nutrition and bio-individual approaches
Optional plant-spirit–informed practices for those who desire deeper relationship work

Care is collaborative, practical, and grounded- it meets you where you are and attends to your unique being.
