mentorship

I guide curious and sensitive individuals towards the plants and practices that are right for them.

In the past, students who have been most drawn to this mentorship are interested in support as they work through lingering mystery symptoms or major life transitions like chronic illness, grief, preconception, the prenatal or postpartum period, or perimenopause.

I've worked with students on supporting their bodies with herbs, learning herbal folkways and medicine making, and establishing personal rituals inspired by ancestral and earth-based practices.

What is it like to work with me?

  • Annie

    "I was fortunate to work with Aniko 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."
send me a message to learn more

While working with students I draw from my background in education-- both a Masters in Teaching and years of experience in traditional and non traditional classrooms. I act as a teacher and guide, a conduit. I am not a healthcare practitioner.

Each session is carefully tailored to your curiosities and needs using what I've learned as an herbalist with over a decade of study and experience. I've learned directly from the plants, as well as taken a more formal two-year apprenticeship, and a one-year intensive with jim mcdonald. I also draw from my personal work with birth, grief, perimenopause, and chronic illness.

We start with a free 20-minute video call. It's an opportunity for you to share your goals, ask questions, and explore what it would be like to work with me, without any commitment.

If we both feel like a mentorship is a good match, we'll move forward. At each session you'll have a wealth of time to talk through what you would like to learn about. Together, we'll craft a personalized learning experience.

    "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."

  • Rachel

    "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."

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
