With a background in art and design, she has always been drawn to beauty in all its forms. It was in discovering the natural world that her curiosity blossomed into a profound bond, awakening her gift as a plant whisperer. She sees nature in all its intelligence, understanding the profound healing properties it holds. Over the years, she has learned the ancient wisdom of harnessing a plant’s energy to nourish the body, replenish nutrients naturally, and support its vital functions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: normal; margin: 12.0pt 0in 12.0pt .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Garamond',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eIn her Miami “city” garden—home to over 80 fruit trees alongside her art studio—she collects seeds and nurtures seedlings for the next year’s herbal harvest. For nearly 30 years, she has cultivated medicinal plants on a small scale, while also traveling extensively, visiting gardens around the world, gathering stories, sharing knowledge with other herbalists, and immersing herself in botanical studies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: normal; margin: 12.0pt 0in 12.0pt .5in;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Garamond',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eThe name \u003ci\u003eMiss Lilypad\u003c\/i\u003e came to her in a dream. The Lily pad (\u003ci\u003eNymphaeaceae\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e)\u003c\/b\u003e is a plant revered around the world for its strength, beauty, delicacy, and usefulness. Every part serves a purpose. Inspired by this symbolism, she envisioned a purpose-driven company dedicated to sharing her knowledge of plants and their power to heal, soothe, energize, focus, calm, and restore balance.
