About Jessica

Welcome!

I’m Jessica Kaiser — herbalist, nature lover, and founder of The Northern Flora. My passion for growing medicinal herbs and crafting therapeutic remedies inspired the creation of this herbal journey.

My fascination with medicinal plants began with a simple yet powerful realization: the herbs that grow all around us carry a treasury of healing properties and ancestral wisdom. Each plant offers a unique gift in treating our ailments and nurturing our well-being.

This path into herbal medicine traces back to time spent with my grandmother in Switzerland, where I stumbled upon a book, Mon herbier de santé by
renowned French herbalist Maurice Messegué
. This book sowed the first seeds of herbal knowledge and sparked a lifelong curiosity and love for medicinal plants.

In 2019, I deepened my knowledge by completing a Diploma of Phytotherapy at
Pacific Rim College in Victoria, BC. This formal education laid the foundation to bring The Northern Flora to life — a space to share the beauty and power of herbal medicine with the community.
