A Listening Materia Medica, Thirty Plant Allies for Somatic, Spiritual, and Ancestral Healing

A Listening Materia Medica is a gentle, grounded book about working with plants alongside the nervous system, the body, and lived experience.

Rather than offering protocols or prescriptions, this book invites a different orientation: listening before fixing, presence before intervention, and relationship over urgency.

Working with thirty plant allies, and through quiet real-life examples, the book supports moments of uncertainty, grief, vigilance, physical sensation, and emotional overwhelm—without asking the reader to override their body or rush toward solutions.

Written for those who have lived through trauma, illness, loss, or prolonged stress, A Listening Materia Medica offers plants as companions, not solutions.

This book is meant to be returned to—read slowly and opened in moments of need, without requiring you to be anywhere other than where you are.
