Hi, I’m Alissa Weaver.
Welcome to my herbal studies journal—I'm glad you found your way here.
I’m a registered nurse and an aspiring registered herbalist with a deep respect for both clinical science and the wisdom of traditional plant medicine. This blog is a record of my journey through formal herbalism training, where I’m learning to integrate modern healthcare with natural, plant-based approaches to wellness.
Here, you’ll find my notes, reflections, and fieldwork as I study materia medica, medicine making, wildcrafting, and the many ways plants support healing. Some entries are academic, some are earthy and personal—but all are shared with the intention of learning out loud and keeping the roots visible.
If you’re a fellow herbal student, a nurse curious about holistic care, or someone simply drawn to the green path, welcome. I hope you find something here that nourishes your own journey.
