My name is Sarah (Sah-ra), I am a clinically trained herbalist originally from Montréal, now practicing on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I started travelling in my teens years, at first it was to chase waves & along the way I discovered a love for farming & herbal medicine.

Throughout my years of travelling I realized I was always drawn to the older women of my communities. Often, they were the wise elders who knew about the medicinal properties of plants & the profound connection we have with Nature. They guided me and helped me find the herbal path. They were my initial teachers.

After years of self-learning & gathering multicultural knowledge, I decided to complete a three year Phytotherapy (Western Herbal Medicine) diploma to become a registered medical herbalist. I am proud & thrilled about all the knowledge I gathered by diving deeper into the plant & biomedical science world to understand better how we can work alongside nature to support our health & heal ourselves.

•

My intention is to share my love of herbal medicine & spread the knowledge of the healing properties of plants, in order for them to be an integral part of our lives; the way they used to be. That is the seed and the intention behind Violette Apothecary; to reclaim herbal traditions and help people remember their innate connection with Nature & its medicine.
