About Hannah Schiller

Hannah Schiller (she/they) is a clinical, community herbalist & ecologist, writer, teacher, gardener, and mother committed to accessible, anti-oppressive herbal medicine that digs us all deeper into a more reciprocal and compassionate relationship to each other and the earth. She believes herbal knowledge and land connection is everyone’s birthright and that we all deserve affordable, empowering, supportive healthcare that centres our stories, experiences, and personal choices.

Hannah has been studying plants and plant medicine with fervor for almost 15 years since her first plant walk when she fell in love with plants and began working in her college herb garden. In 2011, she was a summer intern with United Plant Savers at the Goldenseal Botanical Sanctuary in Rutland, OH. In 2012, she attended Botanologos, studying under clinical herbalist Patricia Kyritsi Howell in Mountain City, GA. In 2014, she attended the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine and apprenticed with 7Song, helping him manage his apothecary and assisting in the Ithaca Free Clinic. In 2015, she worked as a gardener at Avena Botanicals, a biodynamic herb farm & product business in Rockport, ME. In 2016, Hannah attended the clinical herbalist program at the Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine with CoreyPine Shane and worked with Lorna Mauney-Brodek of Herbalista, helping to run the chronic & acute care herbal and foot clinics serving the houseless community of Atlanta. Over the last decade, Hannah has volunteered with a variety of free & first aid clinics in diverse locations—Earthskills gatherings, Rainbow Gatherings, the Stone Cabin Collective clinic on the Diné reservation in Arizona, the Harriet Tubman Foot Clinic, and more. She most recently completed the Advanced Clinical Program through Wild Current Herbalism with Ember Peters, Stascha Stahl, and Vilde Chaya. Less officially, Hannah has taken and continues to take as many herbal and ecology-focused classes as possible and considers herself a lifelong student of the plants!

Hannah began teaching and seeing clients independently in 2015 and has offered herbal care & education to hundreds of students and clients since the inception of Foliage Botanics. She values a pragmatic, scientific approach, while also weaving in energetic, intuitive, and seasonal perspectives to her understanding of plants as medicine. Hannah offers her knowledge and experience with deep compassion, curiosity, and care, always aiming to centre student, client, and plant.
