Greetings! My name is Erika and I am the owner of Elemental Tonics. I am a Community Folk Herbalist and Clinical Nutritionist. I started my journey in the healing arts through an herbal apprenticeship program which then lead to further studies with various herbal medicine schools throughout the Pacific Northwest where I was educated in ecology, botany, foraging, ethical wildcrafting, herbal growing, herbal medicine knowledge, and formulating. This lead to a deep reverence for herbal folk traditions and I have spent the last decade researching and applying this knowledge. I also work with plant spirit medicine as a way to access emotional, intuitive, and spiritual connections with plant allies.
My love of plants grew into a desire to explore different health modalities including using food as medince, and I received my Masters in Clinical Nutrition with an emphasis on holistic healthcare. Integrating both herbal and nutritional disciplines allows me to have a deeper understanding of how to support overall wellbeing, including physiological, emotional, and spiritual health.
I run a private nutritional consulting practive called Elemental Healing based out of Portland, Oregon and I am in the midst of creating an apothecary with an emphasis on all organic herbs grown on site, ethically wildcrafted, or sourced from local organic growers. My mission is to make herbal medicine accessible to all people at low price points, and offering workshops and herbal education. Currently I am also in the research and development stage of growing Elemental Tonics into herbal skin care line, anointing oils, non-alcoholic herbal tinctures, and new formulations highlighting unique herbs from folk traditions.
Additonally, I also serve as a community herbalist for a local non-profit creating medicine gardens, developing a sustainability model to produce a line of herbal products grown and produced on site, as well as an apothecary.
Please feel free to contact me with any suggestions, questions, or interest in herbal or nutritional consulting. I'm always happy to share ideas, plant stories, recipes, foraging tips, and lots more!!!
