Meet Your Host
Hi, I’m Meagan Wolterman! I’m a wife, mom, homeschooler, and student herbalist currently studying through the Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine. My passion for herbalism has grown out of a desire to learn more about the incredible plants God created and how we can thoughtfully incorporate them into our everyday lives.
Here at Wolterman Homestead, I love sharing what I’m learning, encouraging others to ask questions, and creating opportunities for hands-on learning and discovery. My approach to herbalism is rooted in a biblical foundation, a respect for God’s creation, and a heart for being good stewards of what He has provided.
I’m still a student myself, and I believe there is always more to learn! My hope is to make herbalism approachable, inspire curiosity, and help others grow in knowledge and confidence as we explore the world of herbs together.
I look forward to learning alongside you!
A Biblical Approach to Herbalism
As a Christian herbalist, I believe our approach to herbalism should begin with the Creator, not simply the plants themselves. God created the earth and everything in it, including the plants and herbs that have been provided for our benefit (Genesis 1:11). But in today’s world, it’s important to be intentional about what we learn, what we practice, and where we source our herbs and herbal products.
Not everything labeled natural is necessarily good, safe, or aligned with our values. We should be mindful of the teachings, practices, and influences behind the products we purchase and the people we learn from. Consider where plants are grown, how they are harvested, how products are prepared, and who you are supporting with your purchases. Seek knowledge, ask questions, research your sources, and don’t be afraid to use discernment.
Herbalism doesn’t have to be rooted in spirituality or practices that conflict with our faith. We can appreciate the incredible design of God’s creation, study the properties of plants, and learn to use them responsibly without embracing beliefs or practices that take our focus away from Him.
My heart is to approach herbalism with curiosity, wisdom, discernment, and gratitude, always remembering who the true Creator–God is.
