It's your birthright.
Our great great grandmothers and beyond had basic yet powerful knowledge passed down from her mother and so it went. The knowledge to use plants to heal and nourish.
There's no better time to get in touch with your inner Medicine Woman and gain back your health freedom.
It's time to remember the simple power of using plants in our homes. And to detach from relying on corporations and "experts" to tell us how to be well. True vitality and wellbeing isn't found in a pill. It's not found in convenience at the cost of well-being.
True wellbeing is found by connecting, just like our great grandmothers did, to the garden, the earth and to our inner wisdom.
The Medicine Woman course is about that shift. This offering of wisdom exists precisely to guide you in connecting to your inner Medicine Woman and regain your health freedom.
Through opening your awareness of the rich medicine offered to us by the earth Herself, you can become less dependent on the grocery store and large corporations for your food and wellbeing. The true meaning of HEALTH FREEDOM.
The Medicine Woman Course will help you connect to ancient plant wisdom in a way that empowers your life.

The three pillars of Medicine Woman
Nourishment
You will learn how to prepare deeply nourishing gluten-free and plant-based meals, layered with medicine. I teach you how to make medicine meals a lifestyle for you and your family.

I'll show you how to layer nutritious plant medicine into meals so that you and your family are eating foods that heal from the inside out.
And I'll also say, you do not need to be vegan or plant based to enjoy this course. We do not preach vegan as the only diet - or preach about specific diets at all. Many of our dishes can be adapted to your current way of eating. We simply are focused on plants in this course. This is not about a dogma or only eating plants - this is about food layered with medicine.

Having studied with and learned from herbalists such as Susan Weed, Rosita Arvigo, Kami McBride and more, I have thousands of hours of study and hands on experience and the learning continues!

"The value of the Medicine Woman Membership wisdom to me is more precious than gold. With the Membership, I've been enjoying learning from access to videos and worksheets and I've even started a Medicine Woman binder for reference. I trust Audrey's wisdom 100%. She has done the research and dedicated so much time, energy and is so passionate about sharing her wealth of knowledge. Thank you for this Medicine Woman Membership opportunity! "
Kenzie K
Medicine Woman Member
"Becoming a member of the Medicine Woman tribe has been life-changing. Audrey not only shares her wisdom as a plant-based chef and medicine woman, she cultivates a very real sense of community. One of the biggest ways this membership has changed my life is my ability to fight off illness without the use of drugstore medicines. I'm a teacher and therefore come in contact with a fair amount of germs. I have now gone a full three months without a single sick day. In years past I have suffered from pneumonia and pleurisy! Learning to care for both myself and my husband is empowering and healing - physically and psychologically. I would (and have) recommend this membership to anyone who is ready for a deeper dive into the world of plants and herbals medicines, alongside a tribe of fellow medicine women."
Tinora P
Medicine Woman Member
"Medicine Woman has been truly life changing for me. I have always gardened and eaten healthy but this membership has opened my eyes to truly using food as medicine. Audrey has such an easygoing style and explains things so anyone can understand. As a visual learner, I love the videos that show me how to make the recipes, tinctures, medicines. My gardens have transformed from mostly vegetables and flowers with a few herbs to being filled with many more medicinal herbs and flowers. I have made most of the recipes and medicines and use many daily. I find myself going back to reread a recipe or re-watch a video and love knowing the information is at my fingertips when I need it. This is the best money I spend every month!!"
Crystal C

"Medicine Woman has enriched my life by giving me an outlet to show love to myself and my family in a healing way. It has been a grounding experience, allowing me to connect with something bigger than myself. Medicine Woman has also given me a new tribe of women who share similar values. I’ve been a fan of Chef Audrey’s for years, and I’m so glad I have the opportunity to learn from her even though I live in a different state."

About your guide, Herbalist and Nourishment Chef, Audrey Barron
A business owner and working mother of two small children, Audrey gets the struggle of living in a culture that does not prioritize true health and well-being. Over the past 15 years she has paved her own way toward independence, freedom, and peace of mind by using plants to heal and thrive.
Audrey Barron is a trained plant-based chef and home herbalist with thousands of hours of study, apprenticing, teaching, and practice under her belt.
For over seven years Audrey has been running her plant-based eatery, Ezra's Enlightened Cafe and learning how to apply regenerative agriculture to growing food and herbs on her family's urban farm.
For the past 6 years, Audrey has lead volunteer groups at the family farm, school tours and held workshops around growing and using plants as medicine. For over a decade, Audrey has taught plant-based cooking classes and worked with clients in building lasting well-being.
The full circle experience of growing and harvesting the plants, then preserving and creating nutrient-dense food and medicine - learning how to connect and use the plants to heal was her inspiration for Medicine Woman. Embodying this wisdom is a beautiful way to empower your life from the very foundation.
The freedom and independence of knowing how to use plants to heal is absolutely priceless. And to be part of a circle of women on the same path... this is a dream come true.

From Chef Audrey:
"The more I experience the magic of my children, the more I want for them....things like clean food, clean water, clean air and a world with more peace and less suffering. So, I'm making my contribution by growing, cooking, and serving clean food on our land and in our community, and sharing what I learn along the way.
I want more than just the cultural norm for my family... because the cultural norm is toxic food, air, and water. We deserve better. And so does Mother Earth. Change happens with us right in our kitchens. What we feed our family is a ripple effect through our community and beyond. When we are well, the world becomes well.
Medicine Woman provides an opportunity for women who feel the call to bring the ancient wisdom of using plants to heal and thrive into their homes. Women who desire well-being and connection for themselves and their family that stems from a lifestyle shift. Life changing. Life sustaining.
Are you ready? I would love to be your humble guide."
