Growing up in Montana sparked Brandi's love of nature and a curiosity about the world around her that has stayed with her throughout her life. She's always enjoyed learning, creating, and figuring out how things work. Over time, that curiosity developed into a passion for herbalism, bringing together her interests in plants, science, and working with her hands.
Brandi is a Certified Master Clinical Herbalist whose interest in herbs and natural living grew into years of study across multiple healthcare and holistic disciplines.
Her background also includes training as a massage therapist, John F. Barnes myofascial therapist, aromatherapist, Bach Flower Essence practitioner, and medical assistant.
With a natural curiosity about the world around her and a love for both the art and science of herbalism, Brandi brings creativity, hands-on experience, and a passion for continued learning into every formulation she creates.
When she's not studying herbs, experimenting with formulations, or adding another apothecary jar to her collection, Brandi enjoys life on her family's small hobby farm with her husband, their three children, and a lively assortment of four-legged and feathered family members. She also loves spending time in the garden, growing herbs and vegetables, and tackling whatever new project has caught her interest.
For Brandi, Little Prairie Herbal Apothecary is more than a brand. It's a reflection of a life built around craftsmanship, curiosity, resilience, family, and a deep respect for the natural world.
