Meet the herbalist

Hi, I'm Nikki

I'm the founder and herbalist behind Monarch Herbs. My path to herbalism began with a curiosity to help loved ones feel better — and quickly turned into a lifelong passion. After formal studies and years of hands-on practice, I launched Monarch Herbs at the local farmers market, where I was able to connect directly with people in need of gentle, effective support.

I believe in the body's innate ability to heal and in working with nature, not against it. Herbalism is more than a profession to me — it's a calling rooted in care, compassion, and a love of plants. Every product I make is something I would land in my own family.

Why “Monarch”?

Transformation, Resilience & Natural Beauty

The monarch butterfly is a symbol of transformation, resilience, and natural beauty. Just like the butterfly, we too can emerge stronger and healthier — and more vibrant — when we honor the cycles of nature and nourish ourselves with the gifts it provides.
