In 2013 she helped to form and began coordinating free holistic and traditional healing clinics with the Bay Area’s Healing Clinic Collective. Angela was the school coordinator and taught at Ancestral Apothecary, School of herbal, folk and indigenous medicine for nearly seven years in Oakland, CA. She loves tending to her garden and facilitating the connection of plants with people. She is a certified Clinical Herbalist and integrates indigenous ancestral medicine in her practice.
