Drawing from her work as a local medicine maker, land tender, health coach, and herbal farmer at Earthstar Farm up Sunshine Canyon in Boulder, she teaches her community how to reclaim their health and reconnect with the wisdom of the plants and the greater web of the natural world we are inherently a part of.After navigating deep-seated grief, chronic Lyme disease, and Epstein-Barr virus early on her path, she turned to the earth to restore her well-being. These experiences became the catalyst for deepening her education in herbal medicine, nutrition, and holistic wellness, so she could help others come home to their body's innate ability to heal. At the heart of Madeline's work is the core belief that the body can heal, no matter the circumstance, when met with compassionate care, devotion, and faith in the process. Since 2022, she has guided her local and virtual community back into wellness and wholeness through natural healing modalities." } ] } ] ```
