This Business Incubator Retreat is an investment in your livelihood, and together in a small cohort of support, we will help lay the foundations for the future!
Our course focuses on relationships as the center of our work as herbalists and birthkeepers. Together we will do the work of visioning how to hold our work and be in service to our community with integrity and care.
Whether you are at the beginning of your journey wanting to lay a solid foundation on which to build your future and hold your work. Or, perhaps you are struggling to make a consistent living, you're exhausted from the constant hustle just to barely pay the bills.
Our Business Incubator Retreat is the other part of your education, the one that helps you transform your hard earned knowledge into. . .a manageable, sustainable, and solid livelihood!
We are here to give you the tools to thrive!
Are you a brilliant herbalist with deep knowledge and relationships to plants? Or a birthkeeper, passionate and committed to serving parents and babies? Have you spent countless hours developing your craft and now have high quality, much needed knowledge to share with your community, but you just don’t know how to get started?
Maybe you are at the beginning of your journey wanting to lay a solid foundation on which to build your future and hold your work. Or, perhaps you are struggling to make a consistent living, exhausted from the constant hustle just to barely pay the bills.
Are you full of dreams - a thriving and fulfilling work life, travel, freedom over your time and energy, spaciousness for self care?
Do you wish you had the income to build your future, start investing, have retirement and savings, healthcare, build generational wealth, create passive income and financial freedom?
Or are you exhausted under the weight of your schedule, time pressures and the mental load of taking care of everyone you’re responsible for?
Trust me, you're not alone. Over the last 10 years I have seen many brilliant herbalists and birthkeepers enter the business world with no training on how to actually build a thriving business. Herbal and birthkeeper training programs almost never include ANY business training at all.
Our course helps you build the skills you need and provides simple action steps.
The truth is if you want to keep helping people, avoid burning yourself out, create the life you deserve, and provide your much needed service to your community, you need to tend your business. A business is like any relationship, it must be tended, poured into and cared for in order to thrive. And that starts with learning how a business works and what you need to make it successful!
Every day I work with people who have had this realization - they are no longer trying things aimlessly but have learned the simple strategies to turn their passion into a thriving business.
Will you be one of them?

I am on a mission to help my fellow herbalists and birthkeepers build sustainable livelihoods!
Hi Folks, I am Molly! While I was born and raised outside of DC, tagging along with my mother in the garden, in 2002 I more deeply began my herbal journey working on a medicinal plant farm & women's cooperative in rural Costa Rica. It didn't take me long to fall totally in love with this path. I found my heartsong and life path early on as an herbalist, plant lover, birthkeeper, and have gone on to become a mama, organizer and community weaver, and tender of plants.
Over the last decade I founded a thriving herbal center running in two different countries, launched beloved annual conferences, and organized abundant in-person and online educational programs. I've grown and gardened medicinal plants, created and sold herbal products at farmers markets, festivals and through an herbal CSA, supported clients through clinical herbal consultations including through pregnancy, and served my community as through various forms of birth work. Simultaneously we have offered low and no cost education programs as well as herbal shares to our community, in line with our deep commitment to community and solidarity. We have continued even through these unique and challenging global times. A huge part of that is because of the community we have cultivated and relationships we have tended.
I care most deeply about bringing people and plants together in relationship and helping to weave together a network in community. I want to be in service to YOU, my own community. I'll be up front: running a business is not what drew me to this work. However, a business is the structure that holds our work and sustains our livelihood. While I have spent my fair share of time in overwhelm and distress, experiencing huge learning curves and leapt out of my comfort zone over and over again. Having a Masters Degree in Sustainable Development and Non-Profit Management, I understand the importance of a strong foundations to help our dreams take root and thrive. Tending a business is like tending a relationship, and while not every endeavor has been a success - I'll share those lessons as well. In The Business of Herbalism Program I share both structure and strategies to make your path as an herbalist or birthkeeper sustainable and plentiful, while mantaining integrity.
