Kara Swenson
Herbalist & Integrative Nutritionist
Thistle Patch Wellness is all about bringing the People to the Plants
and the Plants to the People. It is about healing. It is about gathering together: in the classroom, in nature, or one-on-one in a consultation, with plants at the center. It is about having a deep understanding not only of ourselves, but also for the plants who are our allies in healing.
​
As an herbalist and integrative nutritionist, I specialize in formulating unique herbal programs for clients utilizing the client's health history as well as non-invasive techniques such as pulse testing, muscle testing and tongue diagnosis. I work almost entirely with local plant medicines I've made myself. My goal is to facilitate healing and to educate clients so that they may be empowered in working with nature's resources to improve health and wellness.
