About Us
I would like to share with you a little bit about what Dreamseeds is.
I am the mother of 7 children, all born naturally, some at home, some by myself. I work with many modalities of healing, and completed the Master Herbalism course in 2008 from Heart of Herbs School.
I am a cervical cancer survivor, thrown into the tempest of menopause at the age of 40. Through this experience, I have come to understand much more of womens needs, in such a different light.
I am not sure if anything is as difficult as finding out you have a deadly disease, and will experience part of losing yourself in the treatment process.
But I have come through all this, and wholeheartedly beleive in the power of plants, nature and love.
Dreamseeds is my heartfelt work in the herbal plant realm, mostly.
I love working with the plants and experience their healing qualities, essence, and fragrance.
My intention is to harvest ethically and be cautious to harvest only what we know we can use in a season. Due to this method, we sometimes run out of items until the following growing season.
I also create from the heart. My stock, especially on soap, butters, lip balms, and such, may change from month to month. If a thought inspires me, I make it. That does not always mean I will make it constantly.
This bothers people sometimes because consistancy is important.
However there are many things that I do make continually that for years have proven to help people.
It is interesting to see that these inspired creations often help people in that certain period of their life.
Dreamseeds also supports the work of United Plant Savers, and is a Partner in the Green with them. We donate $1 of every Avena soap we sell to help them continue the important work they are actively pursuing. Their mission is to be sure we are aware of the endangerment of many North American herbs. Had we not had an organization like United Plant Savers, with the herbal movement growing, we might not have some of the common plants we depend upon.
You can click their logo to learn more about their work.
I work in conjunction with other herbalists that desire as strongly as I do to help people and the planet.
This unified bond is a blessing for me as well as others.
Each herbalist has unique gifts and talents and working together in a small network helps each other and our clients far better, I feel.
Heather Bupp is an amazing herbalist and flower essence practitioner with incredible gifts, including Matrix Journeying.
She is not only a great practitioner, but also a good friend whom I have been blessed with her in my life.
Heather is the creator of Dragon Lady Teas. Her tea blends are so beneficial to any body system, but they are some of the best tea ever!
You can click on her logo to visit her website.
Wildcraft! Game is a wonderful way to teach children of all ages about common herbs and their use.
A wonderful way to learn more about medicinal and edible wild plants!

Mountain Rose Herbs has quality ingredients that I totally trust and depend upon.
Essential oils, bulk herbs, teas, books, containers, oils, body care, tinctures, and so much more for your herbal needs, that possibly I do not carry or am out of stock of.

I am an herbal practitioner working and dwelling in Jackson Hole.
I work primarily with plants, essential oils, flower essences and energy medicine that comes through my hands.
I devote much of my time ethically harvesting "primo" plants from the wild because they make the highest quality food and herbal blends possible.
Most of my experience has been assisting mothers, pregnant women, children, and folks who battle anxiety, fatigue and emotional illnesses such as low self esteem.
If you feel a consultation is something you need, feel free to email me to set up a time to coordinate.
Most of my client work is with people who live far away, and email is a great way to communicate.
If you are local, we can set up a time to get together.
I do consults on a donation basis.
The important thing to consider before a consult is: Are you ready and willing to make changes? Are you open to ideas? Because in order to receive the best care for yourself, you have to be willing to follow through.
I can help open the gate, but I cannot make you walk past them and into the garden.
In most situations, I recommend you work with your herbs about 3 months for best results. You may need refills along the way which you may purchase from me, or your local health food store if appropriate.
You are in no way obligated to buy herbs from me. I will not push sales! My delight is helping people understand herbs to help themselves.
Most consults from herbalists run about $75-$125, to give you an idea of the current typical fee.
I do barter for things such as
Vehicle repair, hair care, massage, energy work, mani/pedicure, cleaning, vehicle detailing and other things my family can use.
Please ask if you have something that I may need.
Kristena/Dreamseeds is not a licensed medical professional. My work as an herbalist does not diagnose or treat disease, but rather support people to move toward wellness.
