    The Ecology of Wellness

    We are more than our symptoms, and traditional approaches of herbal medicine and nutritional therapy allow us to explore whole-person healing. We look at illness as communication from the body and work to support all levels of being in reconnecting to the flow of life.

    The Plants

    Herbal medicine connects us to the wisdom, power, and healing nature of the plants. Through handcrafted remedies formulated specifically for each individual client, the plants guide us back to our sacred center while nourishing the roots of whole-person wellness.

    Ancient Wisdom

    My practice of herbalism and holistic nutrition is rooted in the wisdom handed down to us over the ages- knowledge of health and healing that’s worked generation after generation and continues to work right here, right now. Plants have been with us since the beginning and are our greatest allies.

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 & nutritional therapy 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.

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 is rooted in ancient spiritual perspectives of holistic wellness and cutting-edge clinical research about the language plants speak to our bodies. I combine the intelligence of plants with their nourishing work to connect my clients with a truly whole-person focus of wellness: body, mind, emotions, energy, spirit, and story.
