About Me

Hello, I'm Alexis, a passionate clinical herbalist dedicated to empowering individuals on their journey to holistic wellness. With a deep-rooted commitment to natural healing and a wealth of knowledge in herbal medicine, I strive to provide personalized and effective solutions to support your health and vitality.

 

My Journey

My fascination with plants began at a young age, helping my Nan in the garden. Propagating and watching the plants grow was always magical. As I grew older my interests went elsewhere, leading me into the field of microbiology and starting a degree there. As time passed, and I dealt with my own health journey, I came back to plants as entities with their own forms of intelligence. Over time an interest in herbalism was born. I engaged in independent study, manufacturing of remedies, and being a lay herbalist for about 7 years before finally starting the degree that would land me where I am today. With a decade of experience before becoming qualified I've graduated and can now share the gift of herbalism with the broader community. During my under-grad degree I became known as the practitioners herbalist, with other students and supervisors engaging with my work! 

 

Credentials

I hold a degree in Herbal Medicine from Torren's University, where I received comprehensive training in botanical medicine, herbal formulation, and clinical practice. I've also completed some courses to flesh out some of the traditional aspects of herbalism not covered in the degree. Additionally, I continually expand my knowledge through ongoing education, staying abreast of the latest research and developments in my field.

Approach to Healing

At Zephyra Apothecary, I believe in a holistic approach to healing that addresses the root causes of imbalance, rather than just treating symptoms. By combining traditional wisdom with modern scientific understanding, I tailor individualized treatment plans to meet the unique needs of each client. Being queer, neurodivergent, and transgender, I have a deep interest and passion in serving these communities. This understanding of the importance of intersectionality in the healthcare system has also given me a passion to serve other minorities and under served communities. 

Being a holistic modality, I focus on all aspects of peoples lives and health. Looking at the physical, emotional, spiritual, as well as a persons wider community and support networks. As someone with a spiritual background I love incorporating this aspect with those who find that they could use some direction in this area.
