Hi I’m Clove
I’m an Integrative Herbalist devoted to supporting women, their children and the occasional man who’s simply tired of not feeling well.
Many of the people I support are living with unresolved lingering health challenges — mysterious but persistent — often showing up as digestive discomfort, low energy, mood shifts or a general sense that something just isn’t right. They’re confused about what to eat and overwhelmed by how disconnected they feel from their bodies. I help them reconnect with their natural vitality through detoxes, lifestyle shifts, plant medicine immersions and nutrition.
Together we restore digestion, rebalance the body, clear the mind and reclaim a sense of ease and purpose in life.
My path here wasn’t simple
I spent the first eight years of my life partially deaf. It shaped how I relate to the world and deepened my sensitivity to energy, tone and the unspoken. To this day I find peace in quiet places, which may be why I live in the mountains and take long stretches of time in the jungle.
As a pre-teen into my twenties I experienced symptoms I now recognize as rheumatoid arthritis. I woke up most mornings with joint pain and confusion about why my body wouldn’t cooperate. I also carried a history of childhood Epstein-Barr virus and unresolved trauma — layers of physical and emotional weight I carried well into adulthood.
My healing didn’t come from one magic protocol. It emerged through years of intuitive unraveling, supporting others, studying under wise women and embodying what I learned. That’s what makes me the practitioner I am today.
The deeper questions that guided me
In my early twenties, while enrolled in university, I began studying herbalism and natural healing. I’ve always loved learning but my curiosity ran deeper than textbooks.
I kept meeting people who needed help. And I kept asking:
Why are so many people suffering?
Why are we so disconnected from our bodies?
Why are we relying on pills instead of wisdom?
And why has self-knowledge become so rare?
These questions led me into the study of energy medicine, spiritual healing and eventually sacred plant medicine. I became a Reiki Master and a full-time Metaphysician, developing my own style of intuitive energy work. Though my path is deeply felt it’s grounded in study and in thousands of hours spent supporting real people through real challenges.
My work with women’s health
I’ve had the privilege of learning exclusively from women and I carry their teachings forward with deep respect and care.
Over time my focus naturally flowed into women’s health and midwifery, especially around the birth of my own child. That sacred threshold deepened my devotion to helping women navigate pregnancy, postpartum and hormonal transitions.
Seeing what others didn’t
Twelve years ago I co-founded a spiritual retreat center rooted in sacred Amazonian plant medicine — an interest I’d held since reading National Geographics at ten years old.
Again and again I witnessed people leave transformed not only spiritually but physically. Their digestion improved. Their skin cleared. Their energy returned.
But over time I noticed something. Some of those changes didn’t last. Without deeper gut healing the glow they left with would fade.
That’s when I began to see what most people were missing — the role of the gut and parasites.
In Western culture, parasite cleansing is rarely even discussed. Yet in many traditional cultures it’s a foundational part of long-term health. Once I understood this my approach changed completely.
Root Mapping and a new way forward
For the past three years I’ve focused deeply on parasites, terrain restoration and gut healing. I recently wrote a carefully structured book to guide others through this journey free of fear, shame or overwhelm.
Not everyone has time for the mistakes involved in deep research and diy, which is why I created Root Mapping Evaluations — my method for identifying core patterns with clarity, especially when standard lab results come back inconclusive or labeled “normal” despite persistent symptoms.
What I do today
Today my work is about helping people — especially women and children — reclaim their health and their spiritual clarity.
I support them through physical imbalances, emotional unrest and energetic misalignment. I help them remember who they are and restore the inner rhythm that allows them to thrive.
Sapiyuq: The Rooted One
My project is called Sapiyuq, which means “the rooted one” in Quechua — a language I’ve not mastered but deeply appreciate.
This work is ancestral
It is spiritual
It is also practical, honest and embodied
