The Herbalist Alliance connects a diverse network of practitioners working with plants in many ways — from clinical herbal practice and product formulation to cultivation, education, and land stewardship.
Below you will find practitioners who have chosen to share their work with the community.
*The Herbalist Alliance directory is a referral resource. Practitioners listed here operate independently and are responsible for their own services and client relationships.
Practice Focus
Botanical skincare, traditional herbalism, copper alembic distillation, and cultivation and education of medicinal plants.
Background
Rae Bellows is an herbalist, horticulturist, and Virginia Master Naturalist based at her farm, Wild Origins, in Powhatan, Virginia. There she cultivates medicinal plants, distills hydrosols and essential oils using traditional copper alembic stills, and crafts botanical skincare rooted in a seed-to-bottle approach. Her formulations are produced in partnership with Edgewood Apiaries. Rae has been a member of the American Herbalists Guild since 2017 and continues to learn through both formal study and long relationship with the plants she grows.
Offerings
Botanical distillation demonstrations, plant education, handcrafted herbal skincare and distillates, seasonal plant starts, and community herbalist support. Rae also works closely with other herbalists and small producers to help bring plant-based products to market.
