Alicia Katarina B. is a holistic herbalist, educator, creative, and mother who offers virtual herbal consultations for individuals seeking holistic support, wherever they may be.
Her herbal path began over eight years ago through monthly community classes at The Green Education Center in Sebastian, Florida, where she studied with a diverse group of herbalists and ethnobotanists, including bioregional, community, and master herbalists, as well as fermenters. What began as a local exploration evolved into a devoted personal practice, enriched by years of study, mentorship, and hands-on experience.
Today, Alicia’s practice is grounded in the principles of Vitalism and Traditional Western Herbalism. She continues to refine her skills through advanced study, clinical mentorship, and direct client work. While she does not dispense herbal preparations, she guides individuals through thoughtful, personalized holistic protocols that nurture vitality and resilience over time.
Traditional Western Vitalist herbalism understands plants as part of the same living ecology that shapes human vitality. Rather than treating herbs as isolated remedies, this approach honors how plants interact with the body’s natural systems. It is a practice rooted in listening to how the body functions over time, noticing recurring patterns in energy, digestion, stress, and overall balance, and observing how different tissues respond to daily life. Through careful consideration of history, constitution, and ongoing patterns, herbalism becomes a way of supporting balance, resilience, and the body’s innate capacity to respond, adapt, and renew.
For Alicia, herbalism, like all holistic practices, is a lifelong unfolding. Learning continues in every encounter, each person and plant offering new insight into the living intelligence of nature. She continues to expand her knowledge and experience through one-on-one classes, herbal conferences, clinical intensives, and independent study, drawing from a wide range of traditions and teachers. Her work has been influenced by the teachings of Guido Masé, Matthew Wood, Demetria Clark, Erika Galentin, and many others whose approaches continue to shape contemporary herbalism.
Anchored in lineage and lived experience, and inspired by the legacy of herbalists such as Juliette de Bairacli Levy, Alicia’s work is built on relationship with the plants, with the body, and with each person’s unfolding process.
Alongside her herbal work, Alicia has spent over two decades immersed in mysticism and symbolic systems. Collectively this has included systems such as yoga, dreamwork, and astrology. She has offered consultations for many years and continues to provide advanced astrological consultations. Her training also includes ancient folk healing traditions from rural southern Italy, which inform her approach in subtle and nuanced ways.
