CLINIC INTENTIONS
We are a group of herbalists living in the Klamath-Siskiyou region working to provide acute herbal care to our communities in the region during uncertain times.
Healthcare is inaccessible for many and because accessibility is critical, at this time, all our offerings are provided on a sliding scale basis and free if you need them to be. As clinical and community herbal practitioners, each with years of training, we believe that plants can have a role in supporting health and vitality.
We believe land is the original healthcare system. The connection people have with plants as medicine can support health sovereignty and can be a reciprocal relationship of care with the land itself.
The KSHA Clinic is offering urgent acute herbal consultations and remedies in the Klamath-Siskiyou region. Our consultations take place over the phone and remedies can be either picked up or shipped in the mail.
Our collective is aware that over-harvesting of plants as medicine can destroy ecosystems and disrupt indigenous cultural practices. We see using plants as medicine as connected to the lives of the plants in their ecosystems and their cultural relationships with people and therefore choose to use herbs we believe are in ethical step with the defense of these relationships.

The members of this collective live on the traditional territories of the Takelma and Dakubetede people.
We were inspired to start this phone clinic by our fellow herbalists at the Bay Area Herbalist Response Team.

MEET THE PRACTITIONERS
Dana Aronson is a trained clinical herbalist who takes joy in community based, hands on learning. She focuses her studies on bio-regional plants from the Pacific Northwest and intertwines them into her small practice based in Southern Oregon on occupied Takelma land. After finishing an herbalism program and 2 year clinical internship in Berkeley, she started facilitating mobile first aid herb clinics. These pop up clinics provide herbal first aid and wellness to a wide range of areas from gatherings, to places that have been hit with natural devastation, to working with folks who are unhoused and implementing harm reduction. Dana believes in offering accessible herbal medicines + transparent and digestible information. She is a medicine making teacher at Berkeley Herbal Center, teaches in the great outdoors, and cultivates for her herbal line, Wild Kin Botanicals.

Lauriel holds a certificate of Advanced Herbal Studies from the Wild Seed School of Herbal Studies. She has a lifelong interest in plants as medicine and feels most at home in the rich forests of cedar and sword fern.
Having worked in harm reduction for over 10 years she practices within a trauma-informed approach recognizing that peoples lived realities of health, poverty, class, racism, dislocation, colonization, gender discrimination and other social inequalities affect people’s access to healthcare. She seeks to connect with individuals to find herbal and other holistic supportive strategies which make sense in the context of their actual lived experiences. Lauriel currently lives on Dakubetede ancestral homelands near Grants Pass and wishes very much that she could have a cat. |
Taylore is a practicing clinical herbalist who has been studying botanical medicine and community health for the last 11 years. Her approach to herbalism is shaped by her training in harm reduction counseling, western clinical herbalism, bioregional herbalism, and the study of trauma recovery, eco-psychology, and vitalism. She is inspired by the indomitable spirit of the natural world and is devoted to learning how to be in a reciprocal relationship with the land on which she resides. Taylore currently resides in the Rogue River valley, ancestral homelands of the Takelma in the city of Grants Pass, OR where you can find her making and growing medicine or adoring the wild flora of the Klamath-Siskiyou mountains. Her training includes programs at: The Elderberry School of Herbal Medicine, Columbines School of Herbal Studies, Wildflower School of Botanical Studies, and The Berkeley Free Clinic.

If you are moved to give beyond our sliding scale, please know that it will go toward subsidizing the cost of herbs for someone who cannot pay. Donations/Payments are gladly accepted via Venmo @KSHAclinic. Please write “KSHA Clinic Donation” in the note.
