Dorothy from the Herb Shop & Apothecary
Founder of the Pattern-Based Herbal Method™ | Herbalist | Holistic Health Practitioner
I’m Dorothy, the herbalist behind Dorothy’s Herb Shop and Herbal Apothecary and founder of the Pattern-Based Herbal Method™—a unique approach to herbal care that doesn’t just treat symptoms, but looks deeper to uncover the why behind them.
From a young age, I was drawn to the wisdom of plants and the way our bodies speak in patterns. I began with folk remedies and followed that curiosity through formal herbal training, eventually earning my certification as a Master Herbalist and Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. But something was still missing in the conventional approaches I saw.
I noticed that many people were trying herbs without real results—not because the plants didn’t work, but because they weren’t being matched to the right person, at the right time, for the right pattern. That’s where the Pattern-Based Herbal Method™ was born.
Today, I help people connect with the herbs that truly support their body’s messages—whether that’s racing thoughts, restless energy, hormonal shifts, or chronic overwhelm. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, I guide my clients toward clarity and confidence through custom herbal blends, education, and support.
At my core, I’m a pattern-seeker. I help people uncover what’s beneath their discomfort—and partner with plants to bring balance.
