consultations
A place to pause, process, and reconnect
I guide curious and sensitive individuals towards the plants and practices that are right for them.
My clients are on a path of transformation, often moving through periods of complexity.
Some are living with mystery symptoms.
Some are looking for steadiness.
Some simply want to reconnect with themselves or deepen their relationship with the Earth
What is it like to work with me?
Our work is spacious, collaborative, and deeply personal. Together, we co-create a path for you.
We begin with a free 20-minute curiosity call over video so you can share what’s coming up for you and get a sense of how I work.
From there, you choose the size of the container we’ll work in. Each session offers generous time to talk through what you’re experiencing or wanting to learn.
Before I teach, I listen, for patterns in your body, your story, your cycles, and your lineage.
In our sessions we might track symptoms, explore plant allies, or learn earth-based wisdom and traditions. Each step is tailored to you.

"I was fortunate to work with Anikó during a time of my life where I was feeling disembodied and disconnected from the natural world. Her wisdom helped lead me back into deeper connection with my body, and through gentle and steady guidance, she offered me tools to integrate what I’d learned from her outside of our sessions.
Her depth of knowledge is cultivated from her study of herbal medicine as a means of healing her own body, a strong connection to her ancestry, and deep appreciation and respect for the plants she works with.
Over the course of our time together, I was struck and deeply touched by her capacity to question and reflect accurately and without judgment. She listened to my needs attentively, positing spacious questions so we could devise together the most beneficial path forward to healing. Her approach is equanimous and respectful of her clients’ individual needs. I felt deeply seen, heard, and respected by her in all of our sessions.I leave her coaching with a greater sense of self and a more empowered relationship with the earth as a loving and healing relative."

"Working with Anikó is a profound experience. She holds space for your voice to be heard, for you to be seen as you (not evaluated as a body), and it is a particular type of experience in which intuition guides her practice.
Anikó listened as I shared, asking questions as we went along, and even revising her suggestions for me as more information came to light. Her intuitive guidance is a delight! It is clear that Anikó knows her herbs as revisions and thought processes were in the moment, as if she knew what I needed all along. It felt intuitive to work with Anikó in that the work flowed between us as two people sharing and thinking together, not unidirectionally from one person to the other.
Anikó trusts that I know my body and what I am feeling and never once did she display anything other than belief in my perception of myself and my body. What a rare treat to feel empowered as knowledgeable about your body when typically met with disbelief when seeking help.
Working with Anikó also provided me with manageable options for me to choose from, adjust, and even choose to put on hold for now. Her wisdom made me feel empowered to approach herbs and Anikó is so approachable, her personality is lovely. It felt natural, comfortable, and even familiar despite my lack of knowledge regarding herbs."

"Working with Aniko has been a dream come true. Her compassion and consideration for folks suffering from chronic pain or a myriad of mystery symptoms is unmatched.
She has a unique ability to be both soft and direct in her care and support. I am so grateful to have had her on my health journey as a constant to check in with, to encourage me during flare ups and to offer a variety of options for long term support.
She does all of this with honesty and without judgement. She doesn't question or dismiss pain and that is a true gift in a world that doesn't recognize or know how to care for unexplainable conditions.
Aniko's support, I believe, can be benefical to anyone looking to improve their well being."
Our sessions might include:
Exploring seasonal rhythms and rituals
Building nervous system resilience
Tracking patterns in your body, your life, or your lineage
Tools and rituals to create an everyday personal herbal practice
Making plant remedies together and learning how to use them
Learning about herbs that can support sleep, digestion, resilience, cycles, immunity, or energy
My background
I draw from a background in education. I have both a Masters in Teaching and years of experience in traditional and non-traditional classrooms. In our work together, I act as a teacher and a guide, a conduit between you and the plants.
I am not a healthcare practitioner, and our work is not a substitute for medical advice. Instead, I offer herbal and ritual support grounded in traditional knowledge and lived experience.
Each session is tailored to your curiosities and needs, drawing on a decade and a half of study and practice. I’ve learned directly from the plants, completed a two-year apprenticeship, and studied with herbalist jim mcdonald in a year-long intensive.
I also draw from my lived experiences with birth, grief, mothering, perimenopause, chronic illness, and from time spent living with people around the world who held vastly different experiences and worldviews. These threads inform how I listen and hold space.

"Trusting your body with another person is a vulnerable thing. As a fat person with many physical things classified as syndromes, I am never sure where a conversation with someone about my body will go.
From the moment I met Anikó, I was impressed with the specificity and intention of her knowledge. The amount of time and care Anikó put into working with me has been evident throughout the process.
I left my appointment with her not only with a list of helpful tools but also feeling deeply seen and understood. I had the sense that Anikó was not just trying to complete a task but deeply cared about respecting the person who was in front of her.
I continue to have the sense that Anikó believes me and trusts me with my body. A few months out from meeting with Anikó herbal tinctures are a part of my everyday life and I have had significant improvements. I am incredibly grateful for Anikó's time, energy, and curiosity."

"I trust Anikó's wisdom. She's given me space to investigate how my body is directly affected by herbs.
For a long time, I was skeptical of people who relied on herbs for a large part of their health care, but she's given me a lived understanding that the power of plants is simple and transformational. She's given me direction that has made me feel more confident as a mother. More whole as a woman.
I trust her suggestions because she's also very firm in her limitations. If something is beyond her scope, she's quick to point me in a good direction more specific to my needs. She's someone who will only tell you what she knows to be solid. And thankfully, she knows so much about plants and their properties and how to best prepare them.
Anikó's questions help me feel seen and guided, without judgement.
Her advice is clear and direct and points me towards listening to my body. Anikó has walked me down a path of better understanding the natural processes of the human body and how herbs can facilitate health in a way that feels empowering and connected to the earth."

About Anikó
I’m a folk herbalist and teacher, working at the intersection of plant medicine and everyday ritual. My practice is rooted in Hungarian folk traditions and inspired by the artists and village herbalists in my family — including my great-aunt Izus, who kept her family alive during and after the war with her deep knowledge of the plants in her bioregion.
Before working with plants, I worked in education. For more than fifteen years I’ve been teaching workshops on herbal folkways, medicine-making, and personal ritual.
Today, I create herbal products to spark people's curiosity about herbalsim. I work with clients and students to help them find steadiness, vitality, and connection, whether through consultations, mentorship, or seasonal practices.
Lately I’ve been distilling hydrosols, studying herbal energetics, researching Hungarian folk medicine, dyeing with plants, and exploring how herbs can help integrate grief and trauma.
Whether you're curious about herbs, longing for steadiness, or ready to rekindle your connection to the earth — I'd love to hear from you.
For The Children by Gary Snyder
The rising hills, the slopes,
of statistics
lie before us.
the steep climb
of everything, going up,
up, as we all
go down.
In the next century
or the one beyond that,
they say,
are valleys, pastures,
we can meet there in peace
if we make it.
To climb these coming crests
one word to you, to
you and your children:
stay together
learn the flowers
go light
