Chelsea Taxman, Certified Clinical Herbalist & Plant Medicine Maker

Since 2006, I have experienced pleasure exploring, brewing, concocting, and studying plant medicine and community wellness. I live and plant garlic on Pocumtuc & Nipmuc lands, (also called western massachusetts) Find out what land you’re living on now >>> Native Land Website.

With support from my jewish ashkenazi ancestors, my plant teachers, & yoga mentors, I am a healer & plant medicine maker working toward liberation. I want us to take back our power in our own ancestral and intuitive medicine in the home and as sacred practice. As a community herbalist one of my roles is to connect people with plants, education, and collective deep healing. My work is part of a larger movement with other queer healers and collaborators, including the knowledge you bring to the session. I practice and teach with a desire to share, especially with those who might not otherwise find alternative wellness modalities accessible (disabled, trans, queer, low income, diasporic, etc.)

I feel inspired by community, lessons from honeybees, queerness, song, and my dreams. My work combines formal and inherited education from many traditions including judaism, ayurveda, raja yoga, and an apprenticeship with traditional chinese herbalism.

Thank you for taking the time to support your wellness and visit this website! Together we can build a more liberated world. Find me on instagram for juicy plant photos and my face @moon.beam.dreams
