Bios:
Emma Graves, co-owner of Brooklyn Herborium, is a herbalist and holistic facialist who has worked in natural skincare since 1997. As a licensed esthetician, Emma uses topical methods such as Brooklyn Herborium’s herbalcrafted skincare line, Between You & The Moon, and Facial Reflexology to help her clients shift from a ineffective paradigm where they use products and treatments to keep their skin under control, to one where they simply thrive naturally by supporting how the body functions and stepping out of the way of their own healing. Emma has taught at The New York Open Center and Arbor Vitae School of Natural Medicine. She has been leading the Brooklyn Herborium Holistic Practitioner Apprenticeship Program for over ten years.
Molly Watman, co-founder of Brooklyn Herborium, is an artist, an herbalist, and a Level 3 Reiki Practitioner. She pioneered Brooklyn Herborium’s Sacred Journey, a deeply moving practice that incorporates the healing energies of crystals with sound healing and Reiki. In her work, Molly utilizes these and other sensory-based modalities to encourage the open flow of energy, allowing the type of inner healing that comes from being in an aligned state of being. Molly has studied Crystal Lore, Reiki, Wise-Woman Herbalism, Breathwork, Plant Medicine, and Sound Healing, along with other esoteric modalities.
Jennifer Kurdyla is an accomplished Ayurvedic practitioner and Yoga teacher and has taught workshops at Brooklyn Herborium for the past few years. She has assisted us in leading our Herbal Crafter Apprenticeship and led weed walks with our local school groups. She is a truly radiant being and we are honored to work with her.
