“Bonnie is such a kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable healer. I came to her for help with my PCOS,
and from her initial intake onward she has shown nothing but detail and great care. Her process is thorough and covered everything from nutrition to herbs, supplements and body work and I’ve felt empowered to trust my body and its healing process through working with her. She is always available and checking in often and makes her process flexible by meeting you where you’re at, making healing feel accessible. So lucky to have her in my corner.”

“I am so grateful to have connected with Bonnie.
As a clinical herbalist, she has supported me in addressing the root cause of chronic conditions such as endometriosis and myalgic encephalomyelitis, and I have approached her about more acute matters too. She engages with receptivity and attunement; I fully feel acknowledged by her. I admire her intuition, knowledge, and commitment to research in crafting a protocol. Her deep level of care is palpable. We had a thorough intake and continue to follow up to adjust the protocol as necessary. Her protocol for me identified patterns and proposed therapeutic strategies such as nutritional shifts, flower essences, herbs, supplements, and other practices. A definite gift of hers is in forming connections, I value her perspectives and her proposed strategies have been of immense benefit to integrate. The experience of chronic illness can be a lot, but I feel more capable of addressing and managing it with Bonnie’s support.”

"Working with Bonnie as a clinical herbalist is a fantastic experience.
She goes above and beyond in her detailed care plan and really takes the time to understand what's going on. I learned so much through the process of working with her - not just about herbs, but also mindfulness, rhythms of nature, feminism, community resources, etc. I felt so cared for and seen throughout the process and knew that I could reach out for clarification as needed. I will continue to utilize Bonnie's depth of knowledge whenever needed. I am so grateful I found her!”

“Bonnie helped me during a really stressful time in my life.
I was transitioning careers and applying for grad school during the peak of Covid. She listened with compassion and gently offered affirmations. Her herbal recommendations were thoughtful and thorough. As an herbalist myself, she suggested herbs that I didn’t know yet, helping me expand my relationships to some new friends. I loved that Bonnie was available virtually across state lines too. I would absolutely recommend Bonnie as an herbalist practitioner and as an informed, kind, passionate human.”

Abortion & Miscarriage Doula work:

“Working with Bonnie was such a relief, especially when I felt like I had no one to turn to.
I decided to have a medication abortion, and the process with my OB/GYN was very hands off after taking the medication. I had an abnormal amount of bleeding in the weeks/months after, and Bonnie helped me recognize this. I reached out to my OB about the blood loss I had—she was incredibly dismissive of this complication, and gave me no guidance, and no support. Bonnie supported me in monitoring my blood loss, guided me on which herbs to use to slow the bleeding & to support my uterus and my hormones, and helped me understand what options I had if the bleeding did not stop. This education allowed me to make the best decision for myself.
Bonnie is a wealth of information—she has so much experience with women during this time. She was really able to guide me and help me understand what my body was going through, what was within the norm, and what wasn’t. I honestly am so grateful to have had her during this time.

“Bonnie is an incredible practitioner that helped me when I was in a time of immense need,
and had little to no access to the resources that I was in need of. It is not an exaggeration to say that Bonnie was a lifeline for me. Her knowledge of herbal medicine combined with her sense of spiritual purpose makes her an amazing support person for this work. I felt supported fully and held in all of the complexities and practicalities of experiencing a pregnancy release.” —Anonymous, miscarriage doula client

“Bonnie is an earth angel. I'm so grateful to have had her support through my release.
I live in a state that is very conservative and makes it extremely difficult if not impossible to find a solution to these sorts of things. Bonnie listened to me and guided me through what to expect, how to support myself, and what to watch for. I came to her with questions, she came back with answers. I didn't have many other people to turn to that I would trust with something like this...and Bonnie was the perfect support and exactly who I needed to be on my team. I can't imagine going through this experience alone or with anyone else. She is such a tender and kind woman and was there for me every step of the way. This is the work she's meant to be doing - and I am so so grateful to know someone who could lend an ear, a hand, and her expertise while I navigated one of the most painful & challenging times of my life.” —Anonymous, abortion doula client

“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible support I received from Bonnie during a very challenging time in my life.
After undergoing a pharmaceutical abortion and facing the possibility of another unwanted pregnancy, I felt lost and overwhelmed. I decided to reach out to Bonnie, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
From the very beginning, she proved to an exceptional source of knowledge, compassion, and care. She listened to my story with unwavering attention, taking the time to truly understand my situation and concerns. Our inital discussion was not just informative, but deeply involved, as she familiarized herself with my personal history and patiently laid out all the pros and cons of each option.
What struck me most was Bonnie’s warmth, understanding, and attention to detail. She not only guided me through the process but also helped me access what I needed, always mindful of my limited budget.
Her continuous support didn’t end with our initial conversation—she stayed in toiuch throughout my process, providing invaluable expertise and emotional care.
Thanks to Bonnie, what could have been another lonely experience turned into a journey where I felt empowered and in control. I felt a sense of harmoney with my body and the natural world, all thanks to her guidance and dedication.
Bonnie—I cannot thank you enough for your incredible work. You transformed my experience, offering me not just knowledge but also a sense of agency and partnership in my own healing process.
To anyone seeking care or counsel, I wholeheartedly recommend Bonnie. Her expertise, empathy, and dedication are unparalleled, making her a true ally for anying navigating similar challenges.

“My abortion doula angel! Thank you so. Damn. Much! You changed truly the hardest experience I’ve been through in my life around on its head, & I really cannot thank you enough.
Your education helped me transition from helpless to more in control, and really helped me feel more at peace about the decision I made. When I look back at this time, I’ll never forget the things you said & the late night calls that got me through my darkest hours.
Your presence through those ties meant so much. I’m so grateful for you and can’t wait to work with you in the future.
Thank you for all that you do—the good work! All my love,”

"Bonnie actively supported me in the time prior to, during, and following a pregnancy release.
She supported me remotely due to location differences but this has not diminished her presence or support! The support she offered me as an abortion doula was educational, emotional, logistical, and nutritional. She recommended flower essences, herbs, and other practices to prepare for the release as well as for the postpartum experience. Her suggestions facilitated the healing process and sought to replete nutrients. The resources and support she offered were attuned to what I needed. She held space for all of what I felt and her empathetic and warm presence brings about an easefulness. Whether in-person or remote, Bonnie is a tremendous ally to have!” —Nicole G
Birth Doula Work:

“We LOVED having Bonnie as a doula for our son’s birth!
Bonnie was informative, supportive, and helpful throughout my pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum journey. She informed me of the choices I had throughout pregnancy and delivery and allowed me to feel empowered in my decision-making process. With her education and guidance, I felt like I consciously chose my prenatal, birth, and postpartum plan and care within the hospital and medical system. Bonnie’s experience and wisdom brought awareness to areas of the childbearing continuum that would have otherwise gone unnoticed to us as new parents. She coached me through my discomfort of receiving help and assisted us in setting up a plan for postpartum support. I cannot imagine what we would have done without that in place. Her grounded, loving, warm, kind, and accepting energy offered me so much calm and comfort throughout the entire process, but especially through the birthing marathon. Bonnie offered us such crucial love, generosity, and support in welcoming our first child, she will forever be considered an honorary member of this family.” -Cali Simpson, birth doula client
