Lovely things people have said
Hi, I’m Kat Mackinnon
HERBALIST + FOUNDER
I created Meet the Green because I wanted to create rich, meaningful, reciprocal relationships - between people, the earth, and their community.
Most of my work is as a teacher and a clinician, and I approach both of those things from a Vitalist perspective. I believe that we all have a fundamentally intelligent life force that drives us and that this is what I’m constantly in communication with and in service of.
I am a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild. I’m also a certified clinical herbalist and nutritionist through the North American Institute of Medical Herbalism, where I studied with Paul Bergner in the Vitalist tradition.
