about me

Hi, I'm Cassie.

I believe healing begins with connection: connection to ourselves, to our communities, to nature, to a higher power within ourselves and to the wisdom of the body.

As a Clinical Herbalist, Flower Essence Practitioner, Plant Medicine Maker and Spinal Flow Practitioner, I support people in restoring health through a deeply holistic approach. Every treatment I offer is grounded in the belief that our bodies are designed with an incredible capacity to heal when offered the right support.

I am a Sacral Manifesting Generator (Human Design), a Pisces Sun & Venus, Cancer Moon & Mars, Libra Ascendant. My Cancer Moon is in the tenth house which means I am made for this life of supporting others in these ways. For the folk who love this stuff as much as me!

My own path into natural medicine began through personal experience. Years of immune and gut challenges in my teen and young adult years, then a breast cancer diagnosis at the age of 34 (in 2012). At the same time of this diagnosis, I was raising two young daughters (a baby and 3 year old) and navigating one of the most transformative seasons of my life (motherhood). Those experiences profoundly changed me, inviting me to reconnect with myself, my body and the natural world in ways I had forgotten were available.

Today, I am grateful to be cancer free and that journey continues to shape the way I practise. It taught me that healing is about so much more than addressing symptoms, it is about creating the conditions for vitality, resilience and living in alignment with who we truly are. This has also supported me as I transition into the next phase of womanhood, from Mother to Maga or from perimenopause into menopause and beyond.

Nature has become both my teacher and my medicine. I live on a small farm in Samford, just outside Brisbane, with my husband, two daughters and a menagerie of much-loved animals. Living amongst mountains, open skies, flowing creeks and beautiful trees continually reminds me of the rhythms that support our own wellbeing. Whether through herbal medicine, flower essences, Spinal Flow, nutrition, movement or simple practices that connect us with the natural world, my intention is always the same: to help you reconnect with the innate wisdom of your body, the healing intelligence of nature and your truest self.

Alongside my clinical work, I have spent many years exploring my own inner landscape. This personal journey has given me a deep appreciation for the courage it takes to heal, grow and reclaim the parts of ourselves we've lost along the way. I have a special love for supporting women who feel called to this journey of self-discovery, while warmly welcoming anyone seeking a more connected and natural approach to their health and their lives.

My work extends beyond one-to-one consultations. I love creating opportunities for people to gather, reconnect and learn through community herbalism. You'll often find me teaching workshops, sharing herbal knowledge at markets, crafting small-batch plant medicines and creating spaces where people can slow down, connect with nature and themselves, and rediscover the joy of making medicine with their own hands. I'm also expanding into more somatic work through my training as a dance facilitator, helping people gently come home to their bodies, move with what is present and access the innate wisdom that lives within.

At the heart of everything I do is a vision of rebuilding our relationship with plants, with ourselves and with each other. I dream of a world where herbal medicine once again becomes part of everyday life; where people know how to care for themselves and their families using the gifts of nature; where healing happens not only in the clinic, but also around kitchen tables, in gardens, in circles and in community; where people are in deep attunement with their own bodies and nervous systems (and those around them) and where simple living becomes second nature. My hope is that Plants+Passion+Flow continues to grow into a place where people feel deeply supported, inspired and empowered to reconnect with their own vitality and the living world around them.

My qualifications include a Bachelor of Health Science (Western Herbal Medicine), Certifications in Spinal Flow Technique, Flower Essence Therapy, Tissue Salts and The Heart and Art of Traditional Herbal Medicine. I've also had the privilege of learning from inspiring herbalists and teachers including Heidi Merika, Lisa Ganora, Sajah Popham, Matthew Wood, Stephanie Hazel, Sally Kingsford-Smith and Annie Meredith, along with many other educators whose wisdom continues to influence my practice. My nature based and somatic learnings include trainings, programs and workshops with Katie Rydge from Nature Philosophy, Honor Morningside (5 Rhythms Dance), Pasha Lyndi (Dance Temple) and Dr Carli Axford (Spinal Flow Technique) along with many other teachers and wise women in these spaces.

If something in my story resonates with you, I'd love to connect. Whether you're navigating a health challenge (including cancer), looking to regulate your nervous system, hoping to prevent illness or simply longing to feel more vibrant and connected, I'd be honoured to support you. I warmly invite you to book a consultation or reach out if you'd like to explore whether we're the right fit.
