Jennifer Porter

Jennie believes in the medicinal power of plants to help restore balance to our bodies and minds. As a clinical herbalist, she helps clients use food, plants and lifestyle shifts to move toward their health goals. In her experience, healing begins in a safe, non-judgmental space, and she welcomes clients of all ages and identities to explore how plants can support their wellbeing. Whatever your needs may be – preventative, acute, or chronic - she will create individualized recommendations and formulas that reflect your unique experience, goals, and lifestyle.

As a lifelong student, Jennie is committed to continually learning about the natural world, our health, and how the two can support each other. Her herbal training includes Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism’s Three Year Clinical Training Program and an apprenticeship with Spoonful Herbal. She also holds an M.S. in Food Systems from the University of Vermont.

Guido Masé

Guido has been involved with medicinal plants since before moving to Vermont in 1996. He was one of the founding members of the Sage Mountain Free Herbal Clinic in 2001 and has been working with folks one-on-one ever since. He approaches his work from the biomedical perspective as well as from the mythological and energetic context offered by the Western herbal tradition. He works with plants in the garden and forest, and contributes writing and research to the field of herbal medicine through conferences, publications, and speaking engagements. He believes in the inherent worth of plants to heal people, communities, and even the culture at large.

Specific areas of focus include:
-  GI tract and microbiome health
-  Herbal support for cancer treatment
-  Work with mood, vitality, and spirit
-  Fertility and endocrine balance for all bodies
-  Allergies and hypersensititives
                                                                               
After twenty years of direct work with clients, Guido transitioned into a support, management, research and coordination role here at the herbal clinic. This means that, while you can’t book an appointment to work with Guido directly, he still actively participates in case review, provides supportive clinical context and literature reviews for the clinical practice, and brings his experience to the assessment, planning, and formulation that you’ll be working on with your herbalist. As a client of our collaborative practice, you get the benefit and insight of all members – including Guido – when you book an appointment and we review your case.
