Aveline Clarke

Aveline Clarke is a spirited herbalist and independent researcher who relishes every bit of nature. Her connection to herbal medicine is both deeply personal and practical. For nearly twenty years, she’s lived off the grid in a remote corner of Oregon with her daughter and Arabian horse, fully embracing a self-sufficient, natural lifestyle—though not without its challenges. Faced with limited access to conventional healthcare in those early years, Aveline had no choice but to turn to nature for healing. Little did she know that what started as a necessity would quickly blossom into a profound calling. Mentored by the renowned Barbara O'Neill and other herbalists, Aveline started to immerse herself in study, transforming her days into a committed pursuit of knowledge. As she refined her skills, she witnessed the effectiveness of natural treatments firsthand. As word spread, so did her influence, and individuals from nearby communities soon sought her guidance; her practice flourished. But that wasn’t the end—driven by the desire to make this knowledge accessible, Aveline gradually evolved from a passionate researcher into a diligent writer. And having faced real-life healthcare challenges without access to conventional care, her work goes far beyond mere theory. Her alliances with academic institutions further bring depth to her writing, ensuring a seamless balance between ancient wisdom and modern scientific understanding. Beyond her work, Aveline is a true artisan of self-sufficiency; she designed her cozy cabin, nurtured a flourishing garden, and even handcrafted some of their own clothing. This self-reliance extended to homeschooling, where she was a devoted teacher to her inquisitive-natured daughter. She cherishes nothing more than bonding with her, whether out on hikes and picnics, foraging for herbs in the woods, or simply making a delicious, obviously health-packed meal. Through Aveline, the art of mindful, natural living becomes accessible to all.
