ABOUT
Greetings! I would like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Erika Ginter and I am the owner of Elemental Healing. I am a community folk herbalist and clinical nutritionist. I started my journey in studying the healing arts at several herbal medicine schools where I was educated in ecology, botany, foraging, herbal medicine knowledge and preparation, herbal folk traditions, and plant spirit medicine.My love of plants grew into a desire to explore different health modalities including using food as medince, and I received my Masters in Clinical Nutrition. Integrating both disciplines allows me to have a deeper understanding of how to support overall wellbeing, including physiological, emotional, and spiritual health.In addition to running Elemental Health I am in the process of developing my own line of herbal products. I also serve as a community herbalist for a local non-profit, and we are currently in development stage for creating a sustainability model to produce a line of herbal products grown and produced on site, as well as an apothecary.I look forward to working with you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. I'm always happy to share ideas, foraging tips, plant stories, healthy recipes, and lots more!!

In today's environment we have many challenges to face. Unfortunately, our health doesn't always take priority. Many of us feel disempowered when health concerns arise. In my practice I focus on what is within our control. This includes the food we eat, and incorporating herbal remedies that can restore balance to both the body and mind. I help guide clients in understanding how effective these applications can be. Through this education my goal is to help empower people to know what foods will benefit their lifestyle and different herbal preparations that can be accessed and used by anyone.Nature is abundant in natural remedies and the more knowledge we have the better equipped one can be in taking control of our own wellbeing. I have extensively studied various folk traditions around the world as well as more systematized medicine traditions including Ayurveda in India, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is my belief that many of these traditions contain deep rooted understanding of body-mind connections, and how to use plants, and food to help restore our vitality. If someone is interested in receiving more information on my research and philosophy please let me know and I would be happy to share.~Erika
