Sober Herbalist

I am Drea Moore (cis female) located on occupied Coast Salish and S'Klallam tribal lands (Port Angeles, Washington)  and I advocate and teach "sober" herbalism. I am a clinical herbalist currently working with private clients and writing a book about my work and research. I am also a core faculty member at the global online herb school, Land of Verse

​

 I formally trained in herbalism at the California School of Herbal Studies (3 years of programs) and I have more than 15 years of continuous sobriety with an active recovery program. Before I left California, I was running a free community herbal clinic in my area where I worked with the elderly, the unhoused, and abused women.

 

I am a guest teacher at the California School of Herbal Studies. You can purchase a June 2022 class recording titled,  "Alcohol-free Botanical Zeitgeist; what every herb enthusiast and herbalist should know about non-alcoholic herbal medicine and why they should make more of it" at their web site. 

 

I bring consciousness and awareness to the writings, teachings, attitudes and language used to colonize medicine making practices and herbalism and therefore perpetuate myths and practices of exclusion. I voice a non-alcoholic perspective on herbalist practices wherever I teach and participate in wellness.

 

Contact me if you would like to know more about non-alcoholic herbalism, my classes, event appearances, conferences and symposiums, or my upcoming book.

​

 I believe that we all deserve wellness regardless of class, race, gender, size, etc. I disrupt the obsession with vanity, purity and perfection in wellness spaces. I educate myself and others to foster awareness and compassion. ​
