Her interest in natural health prompted her to seek doula and natural birth training and led to the decision to birth her own daughter, Winter, at home. Amelia is passionate about plants, herbal medicine, mushroom medicine, Wild foraging and the preparation of infusions, ointments, salves, and herbal lotions. She sought herbal training and certification through Dr. Christopher’s School of Natural Healing and is currently enrolled in both a concentrated study of mushrooms course and an intermediate herbalism course through The Herbal Academy. Her natural artistic ability and love of plants find expression in stunning botanical watercolors, and she has recently embarked on her own herb and vegetable garden. Amelia is a devoted weight lifter but enjoys any form of physical activity. In addition to her many achievements and activities, Amelia has also been a nanny and is now a skilled assistant in a Waldorf preschool.
