Nicole Telkes

As a practicing herbalist, educator, and activist, I have dedicated my career to bridging ancient plant wisdom with modern holistic practices. Since 2000, I have provided personalized wellness consultations, blending Ayurvedic, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Western herbal traditions to address chronic and acute health concerns. My work extends beyond individual care through the Wildflower School of Botanical Medicine, which I founded to educate others on sustainable harvesting and bioregional plant medicine. With a BA in Botany and Ecology from the University of Texas, I combine academic rigor with hands-on experience, including fieldwork in disaster relief clinics and collaborations with Indigenous healers. My approach prioritizes constitutional balance, integrating nutrition, lifestyle adjustments, and spiritual well-being into tailored protocols.

I authored 'HerbCraft' and 'The Medicinal Plants of Texas' to empower individuals to take charge of their health responsibly. Recognized by the American Herbalist Guild and Southwest School of Botanical Medicine, I remain committed to ethical practices that honor both Earth and tradition. My apothecary offers custom formulations sourced from wild and cultivated plants, serving clients across North America. Through clinical mentorship and public speaking, I advocate for accessible, community-driven herbal education. My practice reflects decades of study, including advanced training in myofascial release, cranial sacral therapy, and permaculture principles. Whether through one-on-one consultations or large-scale workshops, I strive to make plant medicine a transformative force for personal and ecological healing.
