Kelsey Barrett, Western Clinical Herbalist, Co-Director SOTHA 

Kelsey Barrett is a clinical herbalist on a mission to transform contemporary culture through the power of plants. Her approach is based on cultivating intimacy with self, health and the natural world by way of herbal medicine. Kelsey’s clinical practice focuses on herbal detoxification, high density nutrition, and the psycho-emotional roots of illness. 

Her therapeutic approach is collaborative and educational, centering client experience to reveal the psycho-emotional roots of disease and integrate lifelong strategies for wellness. Kelsey helps people reclaim their health from the modern world with strategies honed while recovering from her own chronic illness. 

While working as the Director of Operations of Berkeley Herbal Center, Kelsey also taught Clinical Herbalism and oversaw the community clinic. She is now the Co-Director of Scarlet Sage School of Traditional Healing Arts in San Francisco, cultivating a new variety of Clinical Herbalism through convening diverse practitioners to seed a new generation of modern healers. 

She has studied Clinical Herbalism at Berkeley Herbal Center, organic gardening at Esalen Institute in Big Sur, and with master herbalists Julia Graves, Matthew Wood and Dr. William Morris.
