Returning to our roots, one plant at a time

Wild Women Herbs exists to reconnect people with plants as everyday allies. We aim to make herbalism accessible, grounded and practical - directly woven into the rhythm of real life rather than feeling distant or complicated.

We believe that healing is rooted in relationship and plants are meant to be understood, not feared. Living close to the land changes how we care for ourselves and forming a connection to our ancestral roots (no matter where they're from) is an important part of our healing process.

From healthcare to herbalism

Wild Women Herbs is owned and formulated by Megan Gurule, an herbalist whose work is grounded in over 15 years of experience in healthcare and a lifelong relationship with the natural world.

Megan began her career in emergency medicine as an EMT before earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2011. She went on to work as an acute care registered nurse in a wide range of clinical settings, where she developed a deep respect for both the complexity of the human body and the limits of conventional systems.

While she valued her time in healthcare, her attention continued to return to the plants. Over time, she stepped away from clinical nursing to pursue herbal medicine more fully, dedicating herself to the study, practice, and lived experience of plant-based healing.

The evolution to Wild Women Herbs

In 2015, while still working as an RN, Megan founded Herbal Moon Apothecary, a small herbal practice that grew steadily through word of mouth and community trust. What began as a modest offering of handmade remedies eventually became a thriving business, allowing her to leave nursing entirely in 2018.

The following year, she opened Wild Women Herb School, where she began teaching students how to identify, grow, and work with plants to create safe, simple, and effective herbal preparations for everyday life.

In 2021, Herbal Moon Apothecary officially rebranded to Wild Women Herbs and relocated to a five-acre homestead in western Washington. There, Megan, her husband Santiago, and their children continue building a life centered on homesteading, seasonal living and ancestral plant knowledge.

Wildcrafted • Homegrown • Ethically Sourced

  • A core part of our work is staying close to the source of every ingredient we use. Most of the herbs we use in our products are either ethically wildcrafted across the Pacific Northwest or homegrown directly on our homestead where we can tend them from soil to harvest and ensure quality at every step.

  • For ingredients we cannot responsibly forage or grow ourselves we source from trusted suppliers who share our commitment to organic practices transparency and environmental responsibility. We prioritize organic USA grown and local when possible choosing relationships over convenience whenever we can.

  • We are also continually working to reduce our footprint across every part of our process. This includes sourcing materials as locally as possible minimizing unnecessary shipping distances and using recycled or recyclable packaging whenever available. We aim to keep our systems simple, intentional and as low waste as possisble.
