Harnessing the Power of Energetic Herbalism & Vitalism with Kat Maier

The Future of Wellness

A transformative conversation that takes you to the heart of energetic herbalism with our remarkable guest, Kat Maier. Author of the celebrated “Energetic Herbalism: A Guide to Sacred Plant Traditions”, Kat shares her compelling personal narrative and wisdom spanning across cultures, continents, and consciousness. Offering insight into her connection with the natural world and how her time with the Peace Corps in Chile shaped her understanding of herbalism, Kat shares how plants have guided her connection to the sacred. Diving into the rich tapestry of energetic herbalism, Kat uncovers the significant contributions of native populations and healers, and how their intimate relationship with plants deeply impacted her own practice, emphasizing the power of 'one remedy at a time'. We learn how she incorporates energetic readings as a 'medical intuitive', and the way in which she approaches treating acute conditions versus constitutional imbalance. Kat also shares how she runs her clinical practice - walking us through the process of working with a master herbalist. Tune in to embark on this journey of discovery and learn how you can harness the healing power of herbalism in your daily life.
In clinical practice for over 30 years, Kat teaches internationally at universities, conferences, and herbal schools. She is a founding member of Botanica Mobile Clinic, a nonprofit dedicated to providing accessible herbal medicine to local communities. She began her study of plants as a Peace Corps volunteer, and her training as a Physician’s Assistant allows her to weave the language of biomedicine into her practice of traditional energetic herbalism. “Energetic Herbalism: A Guide to Sacred Plant Traditions" (Chelsea Green, 2021) brings alive the traditional healing practices of Vitalism, Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, and ecological stewardship and essential plant medicines. Kat is founder and director of Sacred Plant Traditions, a center for herbal studies in Charlottesville, Virginia. One of her greatest accomplishments has been to train many clinical herbalists who have gone on to begin other schools, apothecaries, or open practices. She is also coauthor of "Bush Medicine of the Bahamas" (2011). As a passionate steward of the plants, Kat also served as president of United Plant Savers and was the recipient of the organization’s first Medicinal Plant Conservation Award.
