She is also an herbalist, studying with such teachers as Matthew Wood, Yako Myers, Paul Red Elk, Mary Schmidt, and Cynthia Thomas. She is beginning her next course of studies with Christopher Hobbs this year.

Mary has been exploring the richness of traditional food preparation, learning from Dr. Westin Price, Sally Fallon and through studying historical and unusual cookbooks. Her focus is to broaden her classroom teachings on preparing fermented foods, wild foods, bone soups—along with the preservation of these foods. Through her work and teaching, she focuses on weaving together the healing benefits of medicinal plants with the healing properties of traditionally prepared foods.
