Clinical & Spiritual Herbalist in Salt Lake City

Kinship Medicine

The closer we get to the plants, the more their medicine and wisdom flows into our lives. My practice is all about connecting you to the plants through personalized education, simple ritual, and direct experience- all rooted in ancient approaches to whole-person wellness.
The Plants

Our collective ancestral traditions of herbalism approach plants as persons: wise spirits of nature who convey energy, information, and guidance to our healing path. They inform every part of my work and become allies on the journey. Your session with me will be an experience of plant presence and power.
Ancient Wisdom

The plants aren’t limited to the physical. Since time immemorial we have turned to them for medicine and nourishment- but also for inspiration, guidance, initiation, and centering. By working with herbs in this way we access the full spectrum of their healing gifts while becoming more ourselves along the way.

Josh Williams · Clinical Herbalist · Salt Lake City, Utah

I’ve been a student of our wise plant kin for over 25 years- beginning with study of plant folklore from around the world and culminating in several formal clinical and medical herbalism programs. I combine 10 years of clinical experience with profound kinship and ritual connections of spiritual herbalism to focus sessions on bringing you into direct, personal contact with the plants and their many gifts.

My clinical herbalism sessions combine comprehensive assessment, custom formulation, and tailored protocols with immersive rituals, journeywork, and facilitated experiences to connect you to the wisdom, nourishment, and medicine of the plants. I offer guidance in both herbal medicine and holistic nutrition to support foundational wellness and address healing goals.
