About Kat:

Kat is an extraordinary teacher and wisdomkeeper of herbal medicine and shares the culmination of her life’s work in her recent book, Energetic Herbalism. She’s poetic and multi-dimensional and together we weave, flow, and poetically examine the nuances of what energetic herbalism is, how it works, why it’s key to embrace and how it invites a permanent departure from reductionist thinking. 

Kat Maier RH, (AHG) is the founder and director of Sacred Plant Traditions, a center for herbal studies in Charlottesville, Virginia where she’s trained many clinical herbalists who have gone on to to begin other schools, apothecaries or open practices. In clinical practice for over 30 years, Kat teaches internationally at universities, conferences, and herbal schools. She is a founding member of Botanica Mobile Clinic, a nonprofit dedicated to providing accessible herbal medicine to local communities. This grew out of her school’s free clinic which was one of the first on the east coast and went on to be a template for other schools. She began her study of plants as a Peace Corps volunteer, and her training as a Physician’s Assistant allows her to weave the language of biomedicine into her practice of traditional energetic herbalism. She is coauthor of Bush Medicine of San Salvador Island, Bahamas. As a passionate steward of the plants, Kat also served as president of United Plant Savers and was the recipient of the organization’s first Medicinal Plant Conservation Award. Energetic Herbalism is the 2022 winner of the Nautilus Book Award.
