Meet The Cottage

As the owner of The Herbalist Cottage Apothecary, I welcome you, please enjoy learning a little about The Cottage workers. After achieving a MS in Plant Science I went into teaching but felt something was missing, I wasn't using my education the way I had hoped. After many soul-searching career changes, I was approached by the idea of owning and operating an herbal apothecary where my knowledge would be used to better the health and lives of so many around me. I tinkered with beauty and skincare products at first but found my true passion lied with the educational and spiritual aspects of holistic health care. I am now working towards a MS in Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine where I hope to fully encapsulate the Eastern Medicine mindset with the Western World in hopes of alleviating the reliance on non-natural practices. After all, nature is what governs so many areas of our lives....where we came from and where we are going.

Hello! I have been working with Danielle since 2021 on helping grow the business and serve the public these amazing products. I love learning about the properties and what each herb can do and being able to share that with anybody who needs it. 

As her "right-hand woman", I help Danielle in product making, label design, and at vendor events. I enjoy foraging for a number of herbs on her farm's property and helping her concoct some of the business's most useful products.
