Susan Marie Hughes, Staff Herbalist/Customer Service Specialist

 Susan Marie began her herbal journey during a healing crisis in 2011. This led her to study herbalism at the California School of Herbal Studies in Sonoma County, her birthplace. In 2018 she started farming and did an apprenticeship with shamanic herbalist Susun Weed where she eventually was initiated as Green Witch. This propelled her to begin intensive self-study of herbalism and plant magick. In the Fall of 2021 she began serving the Humboldt community here at Moonrise Herbs.

After a brief sojourn up to Alaska, Susan Marie returned to Moonrise to teach classes and then as a staff herbalist.  She recently launches her business Susan Marie Herbal, and educational venture teaching embodied herbalism in a variety of formats and Wylde Rose Apothecary, her line of handcrafted folk remedies and teas.  She is currently studying at Dandelion Herbal Center in their 10 Month Herbal Apprenticeship program and is excited to see where her path through the wilds of herbalism will take her next.
