Within ancestral memory lies the story of our own healing
Herbal and intuitive support for those reclaiming wellness beyond systems of disconnection.
Ancestral wisdom teaches us to be in right relationship with the land, spirit, and one another. When we honor what’s unseen and tend what’s within, we restore wholeness not just in ourselves, but in the collective.
I’m Dove, an Herbalist, Intuitive Guide, and the Founder of Arasa Herbals.
I came to herbalism uninsured, unwell, and spiritually untethered. Plants met me where I was, first as medicine, then as teachers, reconnecting me to healing rooted in ancestral wisdom. Listening to my body’s intelligence was the catalyst for uncovering other gifts that include teaching and what some call “Spirit sense.”
I work with plant medicine from a decolonial framework, which means continuously examining and reframing how we relate to ourselves and the world around us.
I believe this is both a way back, and a way forward.
A Relational, Decolonial Approach to Herbal Wellness
I work from a decolonial lens that centers relationship between body, land, spirit, and story. That means there is a lot of unlearning, reframing, and just as importantly, grace.
What you can expect
This is a collaborative, layered process rooted in deep listening. I continue to refine my practice to be as trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and culturally attuned as possible.
Who this is ideal for
I work predominantly with sensitive, stressed-out, neurodivergent, BIPOC, and queer folks navigating burnout, emotional overwhelm, and spiritual disconnection. They typically feel something deeper at the root of their wellness challenges than conventional diagnoses, and they’re ready to feel better.
What you’ll come away with
Expect to come away feeling met exactly where you are. Considerable care goes into creating personalized protocols intended to help you regulate, reconnect, and return to yourself so that you’re no longer just coping with life, but able to engage with life more fully.

Kind Words & Reflections
Jay H., 33 / PA, USA
I decided to book a session with Dove after many failed attempts at working through the mud and tar that is trauma. So far, working with Dove has simply blown me away. From the beginning, she guided the session with grace and purpose. It was clear she paid close attention to my intake form. I felt genuinely seen, especially as someone who is neurodivergent and often misunderstood in traditional wellness spaces.
Her approach was holistic and deeply personal. At no point did I get the sense that she was giving cookie-cutter advice; everything was tailored to my needs, incorporating herbs, movement, mindfulness, and even spiritual practices. I especially appreciated that my unique connection to spirituality was welcomed and encouraged. One thing that really stood out was how she reached out to local businesses near me to find exactly where I could get the herbs I needed. I’ve never had anyone go to that level of care or involvement before.
The session flew by, and even though it lasted two hours, I left feeling lighter and like I was finally on the path toward healing. The follow-up notes she sent were not only thorough but beautifully written and well-designed. They helped clarify everything and I could feel how much thought went into each recommendation. While these changes won’t happen overnight, I already feel the shift. The teas are working, and the entire experience has given me a sense of hope I hadn’t felt in a long time. Dove’s got a good handle on things. She is truly a blessing.
