The herbs are calling
Herbalism is a body-led practice. So much of your constitution can be revealed in how you speak, your skin tone, your hair, and even your tongue. But something incredible happens when you incorporate your astrological chart into the conversation.
I look at where you're depleted, where you're overstimulated, and what your constitution has been trying to tell you — using your natal astrology chart as the map and ask the herbs to help us navigate a path forward.
This is astroherbalism: matching the remedy to the whole person, not just the complaint. The stars let us go deep.
Plants are a part of us
Where are you burning too hot? Where is the deficiency living? Where is the grief lingering? From there, I build a remedy plan matched to your astrological constitution: what herbs, in what form, and why—plus how to invite them into daily life, not just how to buy them. I want you to learn how to incorporate herbs into your lifestyle. We don’t “use” herbs around here.
You'll leave with a personalized herbal protocol and a working understanding of why your body responds the way it does.
Personalized
My herbal and astrological approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s something deeply personal, from the intake process to the chart reading and the herbal protocols we’ll discuss. This is meant to be interactive; you need to have a hand in your own healing. The stars, herbs, or I cannot heal you — only you are responsible for that part.
A Focus on energetics
When we’re looking at energetics, it’s more detailed than what’s trending online. In my practice, herbalism isn’t allopathic; it’s holistic. Together, we’ll try to find the herbal support you’ve been craving. It’s less of “this herb” for “XYZ symptom” and more about rebuilding a relationship with the body. Asking what it needs and inviting the herbs in to help us rest, digest, and alchemize.
Holistic in nature
If you’re not into lengthy intake processes and you’re looking for a "quick fix” this isn’t the consultation for you. WE’re talking about the body from a body, mind, soul perspective. Everything is connected. Herbalism is such a beautiful reminder of exactly how connected we all actually are. There’s no judgement, only an invitation to live a more comfortable life.
No one turned away
Herbalism is something that needs to make its way back into the hands of the people. I deeply believe no one should be priced out of this knowledge. I have limited spaces available every month to see folks on limited incomes and provide recommendations. My heart is anchored in harm reduction for my community.

My approach weaves ancient astrological wisdom, herbalism, breathwork, and nervous-system-aware practices to help people stay connected to their bodies, emotions, and inner knowing while moving through loss and transformation.
I’m known for translating complex spiritual concepts into grounded, compassionate tools that feel accessible during moments of vulnerability.
I specialize in herbal suggestions around grief, emotional overwhelm, burnout, digestion, and the gut-brain connection.
-
All of my offerings are based on connection and bridging the gap between your head and heart. My focus is Astro-Herbalism, though I deeply enjoy working with each modality (and others) separately. I believe in whole body wellness, encompassing a spiritual and physical relationship. Working with herbs is just as spiritual as working with the stars. It’s a language that’s shared among the plants and cosmos that I’ve spent years attuning myself to.
Offering free, at-cost, and sliding-scale classes, opportunities, and workshops will always be within my scope of practice. I believe herbal knowledge is a human right. Astrology and spellcrafting gave me reason and autonomy over my life, and I hope it inspires the same within your journey.

I’m Courtney, a Hellenistic astrologer, community herbalist, meditation guide, writer, and eclectic Pagan based in the Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina. I specialize in pet grief, life transitions, and the deeply sacred bond between humans and their animal companions.
Before founding The Cosmic Craft, I spent over a decade working in veterinary medicine, animal rescue, and animal advocacy. During that time, I sat with more than a hundred people as they said goodbye to beloved animals. I offered presence when guardians could not be there, held space during final moments, and supported families searching for meaning after a pet’s transition. Those experiences continue to shape my work and my devotion to tending grief that is often unseen, minimized, or misunderstood.

Your Questions, Answered
-
It's the practice of matching herbal remedies to your constitution using your birth chart as the map. Instead of treating symptoms in isolation, we look at the patterns underneath (where you run hot or depleted, where stress lodges in the body) and build a remedy plan around that.
It’s a version of medical astrology!

No. You show up exactly as you are! I'll walk you through what your chart is showing and what it means for your body. No prior knowledge needed. I’m here to help guide you.

First, you’ll get an intake form that takes about 15-20 mintues to complete. There, I encourage you to be as honest and truthful as you can, as this isn’t a space where you’ll be met with shame or guilt. We'll go through your birth chart together, focused on constitution and pattern discovery, then build a personalized herbal protocol. What herbs might be helpful, in what form, and why. You'll leave with a deep education, not just insight.
-
You'll get a remedy plan you can fulfill however you'd like — through my shop at Sacred Dragonfly Botanicals or elsewhere.
Nothing is required beyond the session itself. You are in total control of how you’d like to proceed with your new herbal knowledge.
I also believe in teaching folks how to make their own herbal remedies, which I’m happy to do inside our consultation.
