ABOUT 

 

"In over 35 years of clinical practice, it has been rare to encounter another herbal practitioner with the depth and breadth of knowledge Seraphina brings to her work. She is meticulous and detail-oriented, compassionate and very capable. She brings a lightness of spirit to the serious work of healing and she is continuously curious and always seeking to learn more and deepen her craft. Seraphina is a knowledgeable and experienced healer and an inspiring teacher,  and I am pleased to be able to refer patients to her."

Considered one of Canada's leading herbalists, Seraphina is regularly sought after to teach at conferences and international symposiums. Considered an "OG", she has mentored many of today's up-and-coming herbal teachers and product developers and has influenced many popular brands and formula makers. She has developed, written and taught curricula for some of the largest herbal schools in North America.  She has been lauded as 'a young Elder' by Rosemary Gladstar, North America's Godmother of Herbalism with whom she has collaborated since 2021. Regarded as a 'teachers' teacher', Seraphina's unique blend of gifts straddle the vast worlds of plant medicine, homeopathy, ritual and ceremonial magic. She's been in clinical practice for twenty years. She is known for her heart-centered, generous teaching style that speaks to multiple ways of learning. 

At the age of 14, Seraphina began learning alchemical practices from shamanic practitioners she met through fated circumstances. From the age of 16 until age 18 she apprenticed with a medical intuitive, then embarked on the priestess path in 1998 into which she was initiated in 2016. Like many cast onto the path of healing and spiritual training, it was pain and suffering that led her to seek answers to life’s big questions. First, it was an injury that left her bedridden with debilitating pain as a teenager, and just a few years later, the intractable disease then sudden tragic death of her beloved father which set her on a spiritual quest all before 21 years old.  She spent ten years in a Toltec apprenticeship, which radically shifted her perceptional world and helped shape her worldview as one deeply connected to the earth. She has taught thousands of students and has held countless circles, classes, rituals and ceremonies for groups as large as 300. With a practice spanning two decades, she is now a sought-after international teacher and speaker. Her greatest teachers, as always, are the students and patients with whom she is grateful to work with. She is continually in awe of the strength of the human spirit. 

Seraphina is a graduate of the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy(2005). She regularly continues her education attending post-graduate seminars and courses, and teaches numerous classes and workshops internationally. She is certified by the Council of Homeopathic Certification and is registered by the Canadian Society of Homeopaths.

 

“Seraphina is not just a teacher, she’s a mentor. While she has the science and clinical aspect of herbalism, what’s so special is her depth of knowing; she embodies the energetic and shamanic understanding of plants and the practice of herbalism in action.”
