Greetings from Our Forest
I AM NIKI · HERBALIST, DOULA, STEWARD OF THIS LAND
Hello, I am Niki. I am the heart behind Sacred Forest Herbals—a homeschooling mother of seven, traditional herbalist, and nature lover deeply rooted in the rhythms of the Earth. As a dedicated postpartum doula, I bridge the gap between ancient plant wisdom and modern natural living.
MY JOURNEY INTO PLANT MEDICINE
For over a decade, I have walked the path of herbalism, symbiotic living, and deep respect for the sacred wisdom of plants. What began as curiosity grew into a calling, a commitment to nurturing others through the healing power of botanicals, rooted in love, intention, and the rhythms of nature.
SUPPORTING WOMEN THROUGH BIRTH & POSTPARTUM
After welcoming my first child through a peaceful home birth, I was called to walk alongside other women through pregnancy, birth, and the sacred postpartum period. Since then, I have supported four more families through natural, unassisted home births and lotus births deepening my expertise in gentle, natural ways to nurture motherhood. As a postpartum doula in certification, I offer practical and emotional support during the transformative fourth trimester.
SMALL-BATCH CRAFTED HERBAL OFFERINGS
At Sacred Forest Herbals, every tea, salve, balm, and bath blend is crafted by hand in small quantities with reverence for the land and your body. Alongside my herbal creations, I weave eucalyptus wall hangings on foraged driftwood and craft raffia sunbursts inspired by forest light.

HOME-GROWN AND ETHICALLY FORAGED
Many of the herbs used in my offerings are grown in my own gardens or ethically foraged from family lands. We grow and forage many of our herbs and plants ourselves, and when we can’t, we source organic and sustainably harvested botanicals from trusted partners. Everything is organic and sourced as locally and sustainably as possible, always keeping nature and the wellbeing of the earth in mind.
HOMESCHOOLING AND LIVING THE LIFESTYLE
One of the greatest blessings of this journey has been sharing it with my children. Because we homeschool, they are deeply involved in this lifestyle, working alongside me every day: helping in the gardens, planting seeds, learning the plants, hiking, and foraging together as a family. I see every moment as an opportunity to nurture a love and respect for the natural world. It is truly an honor to spend my days with them and share this way of life together.
CONTINUING EDUCATION & CERTIFICATION
I am currently completing my Postpartum Doula certification while continuing my herbal studies through a year-long traditional folk herbalism apprenticeship focused on plant medicine, holistic healing, ancestral herbal practices, and deepening relationships with the plants themselves. I believe herbalism is a lifelong journey of learning, listening, and growing alongside nature.
Herbalism, for me, is more than creating products; it’s about honoring the sacred connection between us, nature, birth, healing, and home. Every blend and preparation is created with gratitude, appreciation, intention, and deep respect for the plants and the wisdom they carry.
Thank you for visiting our forest and learning more about the heart behind Sacred Forest Herbals. I invite you to explore our offerings, bring a piece of the forest home, and join us in honoring nature’s wisdom together.
