Wednesday, November 19th, 6:30pm-8pm
In-person at Railyard Apothecary
In this class we will discuss herbs that can safely be used in pregnancy and postpartum that are supportive to the uterus and also to general health and nutritional needs. Herb safety is a common concern for those pregnant and breast/chest feeding, so we will talk about how herbal safety is determined and what herbs are considered generally safe for this transformative time of life.
Taught by Jessica Churchill.
Jessica Churchill believes co-creating with the magic of plant kin builds a better world for all beings. As a folk herbalist she focuses on building reciprocal relationships with the plants, not just utilizing them as commodities. Practically speaking this looks like not only ingesting herbs but also working to slow down to a sustainable pace and spending time in the garden, meadow or forest. While understanding physiological workings of herbs, Jessica’s approach is energetic and spiritual in nature with a goal of building rest and resilience practices in the face of the challenges of living in modern times. Bodies are not intended to move at the pace of capitalism and Jessica works with clients to support the body and create ease and balance in their lives.
