Understanding Endometriosis - An Interview with The Dancing Willow
I had the sweet experience of discussing endometriosis with a previous student on her podcast recently. Elliott Brinkley, owner of the owner of The Dancing Willow Apothecary, and host of the podcast by the same name, has been tackling some interesting herbalism topics with fun people I respect. Give it a listen!

Written Summary
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.
