Meet Freya Schlesinger
The Traveling Herbalist behind Freya's Herbals. Herbalist, author, and guide for every body finding their way back to plant wisdom.
About Me
Freya Schlesinger has been passionate about herbs and holistic care for as long as they can remember. Their interest in herbalism began in their mid-teens and has continued to grow through years of study and hands-on experience.
For more than two decades, Freya has walked the path of herbalism guided by plants, intuition, and hands-on healing. Trained as an herbalist, massage therapist, doula, nurse, and midwife, they weave science with soul to offer care that is deeply personal, trauma-aware, and rooted in the rhythms of the body and Earth.
As the Traveling Herbalist behind Freya's Herbals, Freya brings that same gentle, wise approach to communities nationwide: one-on-one consultations, handcrafted remedies, traveling workshops, farmers markets, and the Medicinal Herbs book series on Amazon.
Their practice honors each person's journey back to themselves, with judgment-free guidance and a conviction that herbal wisdom should be accessible to every body.
The Story
You Are the Wild Remedy
Freya's path into herbalism was never about trends. It grew from a lifelong relationship with the natural world and a deep belief that our bodies remember how to heal when we are met with the right botanical support, gently and wisely.
That calling became Medicinal Herbs for Beauty and Self Care, a guide to crafting healing self-care from plants with the empowering message that you are the wild remedy. Readers soon asked: "What about pregnancy? What about my family?"
Medicinal Herbs for Pregnancy, Birth and Early Childhood answered with a nurturing handbook for every stage of the birthing year, blending traditional herbal wisdom with practical, family-centered care.
Today, Freya's Herbals brings together everything they love: teaching, healing, creating, and connecting communities to the plants that have always been here for us, on the road and online.
