The Map to Your Mind-Body Balance

     I’ve spent years weaving together threads of knowledge from different disciplines—behavioral psychology, nutrition, clinical herbalism, common sense (a skill some lack), and multiple branches of astrology, etc. Traditional astrology laid the foundation for understanding the cosmic blueprint, showing how the positions of the planets influence our personalities and life paths. Evolutionary astrology taught me to explore the soul’s journey, shining a light on  the lessons carried from previous lifetimes and the growth awaiting us in future lives. Financial astrology helped me see how planetary cycles influence our material resources, and how we can navigate those energies to attract more abundance in our day to day. However, it was medical astrology that spoke most deeply to my soul and gave me the tools to integrate all my passions and expertise into a cohesive and meaningful practice.

     As a clinical herbalist, I often worked with clients for months on end, painstakingly identifying the ideal herb for their unique body constitution (you can check out how I got on this green path here). The process was purposefully slow—and highly rewarding—but it could also be time-consuming, and sometimes my clients didn’t have the luxury of months to dedicate to the process (time—the ultimate resource we feel is unlimited). When I began studying medical astrology under Judith Hill, I discovered something extraordinary: a birth chart could show me, often within minutes, the exact herbs that would support my clients’ physical and emotional wellness. By analyzing cosmic placements and their connection to the body’s systems, I could spot patterns of imbalance—both physical and mental—and identify the best remedies to restore equilibrium more quickly.

Bringing Together Psychology, Herbalism, and Astrology

     My educational and professional background in behavioral psychology gave me a deep understanding of how the mind shapes behavior and how emotions influence physical health. Mental wellness isn’t just about managing thoughts—it’s about addressing the underlying patterns in behavior, chemical imbalances, and outside influences that contribute to stress, anxiety, and ultimately create imbalance in the body. When combined with clinical herbalism, this ancient (and often hidden) knowledge provided me with the tools to offer my clients real time solutions for calming the nervous system, restoring peace, and fostering a resilience that stands the test of time.

     Medical astrology became the perfect bridge between these disciplines. It provided me with a framework for understanding not only the physical body (a field that required my own deep focus as I studied for the MCATs), but also the emotional and spiritual layers that contribute to wellness. For example, someone with a heavy Saturn influence in their chart might struggle with chronic tension or overwork, leading to mental burnout. If placed in certain areas of the chart, this could also highlight issues like adrenal fatigue—something I’ve found that certain herbs can help with. Tulsi (Holy Basil), for example, could be an ideal herb for supporting the body while addressing the mental weight this individual may carry.

Why I Chose Medical Astrology Over Traditional

     Medical astrology allows me to honor each client’s unique journey by combining the science of the stars with the healing power of nature. It gives me the ability to guide clients toward balance through tailored recommendations that address the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Unlike other branches of astrology, which are fascinating in their own right, medical astrology empowers me to apply my skills as a clinical herbalist in ways that are both practical and transformative.

    My holistic practice isn’t just about identifying imbalances; it’s about helping people reconnect with their true vitality and learn the tools they already possess that allow them to thrive. I can see how the job you hate ,but that pays the bills, is affecting your physical and mental health. I can also see what career path would make you the most money while also preventing burnout because it’s in alignment with your highest self. Financial astrology and medical astrology are intertwined when it comes to living in our capitalist world! Whether someone comes to me seeking help with chronic health challenges or emotional struggles, medical astrology offers a lens through which we can chart a path forward together.

     Choosing this "whole-body healing" path wasn’t just a decision—it was my true calling (in alignment with my own birth chart) that brought together my passions, education, and experience. It’s my way of blending ancient wisdom with modern insights to help others unlock their fullest potential.
