About Kate
For me, herbalism is a calling. After years living abroad, my roots called me home both literally and figuratively, as I have discovered helping people through the use of herbs is my passion. For almost ten years I have been supporting women, men, and their children in reaching their health goals by educating clients about how to better understand their bodies. I bring together custom blended, time-honored herbs, diet and lifestyle suggestions to uniquely support each person. I am proud to be 1 of only 3 Registered Herbalists in the state of Nebraska.
My heart truly lies in the relationships that are built when you are invited into another person's healing journey. I enjoy educating others on the benefits of using simple herbs to improve their life. There are so many common ailments and health concerns where herbs can excel in supporting the body. It is my life passion to share this information and knowledge. If you are feeling that you are at a point in your life where you are ready to address your health and wellness concerns in a new way please consider scheduling a personal consultation or taking a class.
I would love to share the world of herbs with you.

Clinical Education
Often times people ask where I have trained for my clinical herbal practice. I would say that the path began to slowly unwind over many years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Asian Studies and was a Korean linguist before I returned to Omaha in 2001. I worked at the Nature Conservancy for almost a decade where my job allowed me to appreciate plants and their value from a far as I worked in operations management and fundraising. During that time I became a Master Gardener with the state extension office which began to build my knowledge of botanical names and identification.
My understanding of herbs as medicine began when I studied with Nicholas Schnell RH (AHG) for 2 1/2 years in his 400 hour herbal program. It quickly became my focus and my calling as I sought to educate anyone who wanted to learn more about the benefits of herbs. I offered an Herb of the Month Club for 5 years writing over 50 monthly monograph style newsletters. I became a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalist Guild in 2015. I feel that you are never truly done learning about herbs and I am always hungry to learn more so I went on to study with David Winston, who owns Herbalist and Alchemist and is one of the most highly esteemed herbalists in North America. I completed his 2 year 400 hour program and then continued for another year in his 60 hour advanced graduate program. I was lucky to be able to study "in-person" with such knowledgeable Clinical Herbalists.
My experience with herbs also fed my desire to learn more about aromatherapy. In 2015, I also became a Registered Aromatherapist after sitting for the ARC test after completing the Atlantic Institute of Aromatherapy's certificate program.
Since finishing these extensive programs and other classes of more than 1000 hours of classroom study, uncountable numbers of hours of personal study, and with many years experience as a Clinical Herbalist (RH) I began teaching Rosemary Gladstar's Science and Art of Herbalism program for those who are interested in beginning their herbal studies. I have been teaching her program and my own - Rooted Wisdom School of Herbal Studies - for 6 years. Feel free to contact me for more information!
