Welcome to Your
Healing Journey.
What is herbal medicine?
As humans, we are natural beings. Our bodies are made from nature. When we consume plants and herbs, our body understands their divine intelligence. We have been co-evolving with plants from the beginning of time. Not so long ago, plants were our only medicine.
Herbs have been found in tombs, their seeds found in satchels of ancestors. Humans have always understood the importance of plants, not just as food, but as a means of overall health.
Science has also understood the importance of plants. Some of our most famous pharmaceuticals are derived from plants. Morphine from Opium Poppy, Digoxin from Foxglove, and Aspirin from Willow Bark to name a few. Basically, some plants worked so well, that scientist extracted specific parts of the plant to give us modern day medicine.
Unlike pharmaceuticals, plants work with our body not against it; plants nourish, replenish, revitalize, and restore balance, opposed to shutting down and suppressing.
Herbal medicine understands that all bodies are different, some of us run hot, some cold, some of us are dry while others are damp and retain fluids. Plants also have unique qualities such as warming, cooling, drying, moistening, and by using specific herbs we can help the body find balance and healing in a way that is deep, gentle, and lasting.
So why an herbal approach?
Because herbs have and always will be our first teachers.

Hannah Murray
herbalist + functional nutritionist
Hannah is the founder of The Gutsy Herbalist. Previously a NICU and pediatric nurse, she eventually felt called to a more holistic and integrative form of health and wellness which consists of mind + body + spirit medicine.
She works with clients to understand the root of their health concerns and WHY their body is responding the way it is. She believes the body was created by Creator so ultimately it always has the divine intelligence it needs to heal.
She is passionate that we are on this Earth for a short amount of time and it should be used to create a life of peace, joy, vitality, passion, purpose, and connection to something higher than ourselves. When we feel aligned, our body becomes a channel for those things to happen.
Her practice blends modern science, functional labs, biochemistry, and pathophysiology with ancestral and sacred healing wisdom. She sees her clients as more than a set of labs and symptoms, but as a being trying to become liberated from suffering into peace.
Hannah is a wife, mother, organic gardener + soil steward, book nerd, hiker, nature lover, yogi + peace seeker.

""give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime".
a healer in every home begins with education. the hope is you feel empowered to know exactly how to heal yourself and your family. While I love working one on one with clients, the goal is always for clients to not need me and trust in their own deepest knowing. that takes a bit of education, trial and error, and honing your intuition, but eventually you can know exactly how your body works, what foods work for your unique body, what your triggers are, and what herbs to pull off your apothecary shelf depending on what signals your body is sending.to learn more and how herbs can help check out our recordings + in person workshops.
rewild your microbiome + rewild your energy packages
two of the most common complaints I see in my practice is gut issues and hormone imbalance; both causing low energy, sluggish, burnt out & crispy feelings, and overall "why the heck do I feel like this"
rewild my microbiome & rewild my energy include gut testing or hormone testing and other functional labs; instead of doing guess work we get right into it and see what is going on. custom herbal blends are crafted depending on your symptoms and labs so you can finally have peace in your mind, body, and spirit.
I believe that life is precious, short and meant to live. Instead of feeling like you are just going through the motions, or what is the point of it all, it is time to feel vital, connect with your deepest intuition, rewild your life and live with purpose!
In the words of Mary Oliver, "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
packages have everything you need to see your healing journey through...plus they save you a bit of money. did someone say "girl math"
