Kayla’s Work
Kayla is an energetic herbalist, plant spirit healer, and medicine maker whose work is deeply rooted in the Western Vitalist Tradition. This tradition honors the life force within plants and people, blending the energetic perspectives of Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western herbalism. For Kayla, plant medicine is more than a profession—it is her prayer practice, a way of living in communion with the sacred presence found in every moment.
Through herbal consultations, she listens deeply to uncover the core patterns of imbalance, crafting personalized remedies that support physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual transformation. Her plant spirit communion sessions delve even deeper, connecting clients with the healing intelligence of plants to restore harmony at the spirit level.
Her work is an exploration of these invisible realms where the life force of the earth, plants, and people unite for transformative healing.
Disease finds its origin in the spirit long before it becomes apparent as our physiological-psychological-emotional ailments. When the spirit is sick and no other medicine works, when what is ailing you seems like a complex conundrum that no physician can solve, it is often a sickness of spirit that is giving rise to your diverse array of symptoms.
Just as humans have a body, mind, and spirit so too do plants have a unique form, intelligence, and spirit. Plant spirits are kind friends, healers, and allies who long for your return into the great web of inter-being. As such, they help you return to balance, heal the split in your psyche, find peace within your life, and free your spirit from sickness.
Kayla’s work is in the exploration of, and deepening relationship with, these invisible realms. As a plant spirit healer, she connects the spirit of her client with the spirit of the unique plant who is called upon to perform the healing work.
“Our role is to find and address the imbalance at its origin, and it’s the plant’s role to provide the healing. And that relationship is a good thing because the spirit of the plant is capable of reaching our spirit and bringing balance to the particular imbalance. For all its medical advances, this is not something western medicine can do.”
