Kimberly Gallagher: Learning Herbs & Walking The Trail Of Beauty

Kimberly Gallagher is a community centered herbalist, co-founder of LearningHerbs.com, creator of the Wildcraft! board game and author of the Herb Fairies children’s books as well as Aphrodisiac: The Herbal Path to Healthy Sexual Fulfillment and Vital Living. She is also my dear friend, colleague and soon to be co-teacher for our upcoming course Rhythms & Relationships: A Feminine Way Into Herbalism coming Spring 2026! In this episode Kimberly shares with us the early days of Learning Herbs when they were the only online herbal gig in town and how she and her late husband John grew the company into what it is today.  She shares her vision for the future of the company - continuing to keep herbalism simple, accessible and whole-plant-based - honoring John's legacy while bringing Learning Herbs into the future.  Kimberly shares how for her herbalism is all about building relationships; how what she remembers about the plants is things that have happened in her life - taking care of her kids, family and community with the herbs growing around her just as women have been doing for millennia. Every time we take a plant or have an encounter with the plant, we are building a relationship with them, she says.  We share about our upcoming course, an Earth-based ceremony called the Children of Gaia that we co-created in 2020, the modern priestess walk, and much more.
