Meet Lori Charles

My work with herbs began as a personal journey and grew into a deep respect for the relationship between plants, people, and wellness. Over the years, herbalism has become both my profession and one of the most meaningful parts of my life.

I’ve studied with respected herbalists including Matthew Wood, Rosemary Gladstar, Sajah Popham, Debbie Mercier, and others, and have completed multiple clinical herbalism programs. I’ve also spent years working hands-on in an herbal shop, preparing extracts, creams, salves, and other herbal products while continuing to deepen my clinical knowledge.

My approach is personalized and practical. I look at the whole person — lifestyle, nutrition, stress, patterns, and individual wellness goals — and use herbs and supportive holistic practices to create a plan that fits the person in front of me.

Alongside herbalism, I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and incorporate Reiki, tuning forks, and energy work when appropriate. These practices may be offered separately or woven into a broader wellness approach depending on each person’s needs and preferences.

Blue Moon Herbalist grew from my love of plants, hands-on herbal practice, and the desire to help people feel more connected to their own well-being. Whether someone comes to me for an herbal consultation, Reiki session, or one of my small-batch herbal products, my goal is to offer thoughtful, individualized support rooted in care and respect.
