before we begin, we bow:
Welcome. I’m Frieda Kipar Bay.
I have been practicing clinical herbalism and teaching plant medicine for 15 years. My approach includes a deeply embodied perspective rooted in my practice of Qigong and Daoist Medicine. Drawing from my deep study of the moving body as a dance artist, physiology and disease as a western herbalist, and a practitioner of Taoism and qigong, I welcome you to walk with me here.
