About
Kristin Grohman
Kristin is an Herbalist and Ethnobotanist. Her biggest focus is Herbal Education and empowering others to make medicine. She holds a Bachelors of Science in Ethnobotany and studied herbalism at Heartstone Center for Earth Essentials. Kristin runs a one to one herbal mentorship, focusing on Phytochemistry, Anatomy and Physiology, Tissue States, and reciprocal relationships with the herbal world. Drawing from her deep studies of herbalism, Kristin teaches through the lens of Western Herbalism, Folk Medicine, Ayurveda, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
With a passion and dedication for building herbal community in Western New York, Kristin started Reciprocal Roots Herbal Education in March of 2016. She began offering weekly community classes throughout the region.
In 2017 Kristin founded the WNY Chapter of Herbalists Without Borders, a local to global non profit dedicated to serving others through herbalism. It is an all volunteer membership based nonprofit, devoted to providing compassionate holistic care to communities and countries in need impacted by natural disasters, violent conflicts, poverty, trauma and other access barriers to health and wellness. Herbalists Without Borders humanitarian aid and actions center around herbal health justice, borderless herbal medicine, herbal education and advocacy. It also promotes medicinal seed saving through seed banks/libraries, and social justice related to herbalism and herbal health access. WNY members meet regularly from areas throughout Niagara, Erie, Orleans, Monroe, Genesee and Chautauqua counties.
In 2018, Kristin started the Western NY Herbal Conference. The conference started as a huge success and continues to grow each year. With a focus on herbal education and ethnobotany, the conference offers lectures and workshops from many herbalists and vendors.
Kristin’s current project is a community medicine garden at Singer Farm Naturals in Appleton NY. The garden will offer free community medicine, classes on herbalism, and a place to gather and be held by the plant world.
