Welcome!
Since graduating with first class honors from The University of Westminster, London, with a degree in clinical herbal medicine, I have spent many wonderful years connecting people with the amazing medicinal qualities of botanicals.
A recent interview in Good Times magazine…
The benefits of eating fruit and vegetables are well known, but plants have a lot more to offer for our health. Their medicinal actions can help support physical and mental wellbeing, as well as combining to create gorgeous so-natural-you-could-eat-it botanical skincare products.
My life in herbs is joyously diverse. No two days are the same:
I work with individuals all over the world in one-on-one herbal wellness consultations helping my clients to take control of their health and discover the power of medicinal plants.
I share my love and knowledge of plants in classes and workshops for people of all ages and experiences. Classes are available online, and I also host workshops at my home and garden in Santa Cruz, California. I travel within the Bay Area (and beyond) for botanical skincare-making birthday parties, wedding and baby showers, and corporate team building workshops.
I tend my herb garden, harvesting leaves, flowers, roots and seeds to make herbal teas, tinctures, skincare and a huge variety of edible and medicinal herbal preparations.
I sell a small range of The English Herbalist teas, along with incredibly effective pure, clean and handmade botanical skincare products, blended from the finest all-botanical ingredients.
“Connecting people and plants brings me so much joy...”
I also love to write, and have authored two books: INFUSE: Herbal Teas to Cleanse Nourish and Heal is available in English the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and has additionally been translated and published in Spanish, Czech, French, German, Portuguese, Swedish, Dutch and Chinese.
ADAPTOGENS was published in 2016 and has also translated into several languages. It will be re-published in a new edition with additional material about the benefits of Medicinal Mushrooms in October 2024, as NATURE’S APOTHECARY.

Upcoming Classes...
In-person classes for 2024 are being planned right now — check back for full information! In the meantime, why not take a look at this interview about adaptogens that I recently did with Crystal Obregon…
“As an MD I am finding the herbal medicine world fascinating! Paula knows her stuff and learning to make natural cosmetics is so much fun…”
“Paula is an excellent teacher. She is calm, open to questions and comments and yet moves the class along at an enjoyable pace. She is extremely generous with her extensive knowledge and resources. I had never seen such a clever, easy way to make a hydrosol with plant material from the garden. It was delightful to go home with cuttings to root, a salve, a tincture, a couple of plants and a hydrosol. I highly recommend Paula’s YOUR GARDEN APOTHECARY Herb Class and hope to take another one of her classes soon. Enjoy!”
