ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
profile picture _ teaching.png

Hi, I'm Kaitlyn. I'm a passionate integrative wellness leader: an herbalist, energy worker and Reiki Master. I'm the founder of Rose & Ritual Apothecary, crafting medicinal and magickal herbalism and The Healers Haus, which trains energy and reiki practitioners.

One aim is to offer integrative wellness -- emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing -- to future healers and communities who need it most, by offering herbal preparations, spiritual tools and energy healing, workshops and trainings. Another aim is to decolonize wellness, bridging the gap between alternative healing modalities and the black community. Rose & Ritual Apothecary & Healers Haus trainings will honor the lineages of where many wellness practices come from, learn the science behind each modality, and have the uncomfortable conversations around the colonization of health and wellness. 

My background is in marketing and communications, having worked in the luxury travel, energy, market research, nonprofit, and affiliate marketing industries. I graduated with a B.S. in Advertising & Promotional Communications and a M.A., Urban Studies, Community Development.
