Tavi is a multi-disciplinary, Black, Indigenous, Jewish, disabled, queer femme writer, herbalist and storytelling artist with a background in journalism, performance, community organizing, and bodywork. They have been offering community care work formally since 2018 via their small batch herbal medicine business, Manatee Medicinals, and most recently as the new host of the rise up! good witch podcast. She currently sells medicine via an online apothecary, offers 1-on-1 consultations and care work via peer support and herbal peer support sessions. Always prioritizing BIPOC, Queer, and Disabled communities, her current calling along with medicine-making is the radical work of exploring new healing pathways, nervous system health, implementing slowness and rest, and connecting people with ourselves, each other, plants, animals and the land as we learn to fight back together against the violence of imperialism, capitalism, and global oppression in all its insidious forms. Tavi graduated from East West College of Healing Arts in 2020 with an 800-hour degree in massage therapy, and has taught herbal medicine classes and workshops at Reed college, Atabey Plant Medicine Apprenticeship, and various community centers.

Tavi makes internal medicine such as herbal tinctures, teas and elixirs, and specializes in pain-relieving external medicines like infused herbal CBD salves, massage oils, and bath salts. I try to use clear labeling for allergy-clarity, and never use "fragrances" in any of my products, only limited essential oils. My infused CBD bath salts are complex blends of herbs, oils and salts that offer unique "Spiritual Bath Rituals" for customers to hopefully connect deeper with their own hearts and spirits while relaxing muscles and soothing pain.
