About
My name is Victoria Chesterfield, I’m the creative behind Gifts of Gaia.
I’m a Certified Nutrition Consultant, Herbalist, 200-hour Certified Yoga Teacher, Reiki Attuned Energy Healer, Ceremonialist, and Musician.
I’ve been exploring holistic health through plant medicine, nutrition, yoga, breath work, energy healing, and music since 2016. My studies have deepened over the years through at-home self study, trainings, and working alongside other practitioners. Herbalists I’ve studied under include Sarah Wu, Lala Palmieri, and Sajah Popham from The School of Evolutionary Herbalism. I completed my 200-hour Certified Yoga Teacher through School Yoga Institute + 18 hours of continuing education in Gentle Somatic Movement through Erin Larsen Yoga. I’m a Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant through Bauman College, as well as a Reiki Level II Practitioner.
My passion is teaching & guiding others to connect to the multidimensionality of nourishment; to approach food, plants, and movement as medicine while connecting to the core essence of who we are. I offer monthly workshops, weekly yoga, 1-on-1 holistic health coaching services, and intuitive Reiki energy healing.
About Gifts of Gaia
Gift of Gaia is a medium to connect people with the science and spirit of plants through organically grown and ethically wildcrafted herbal products.
Our focus is on crafting and supplying loose leaf herbal tea blends, tinctures, skin care products, and other tasty goodies we discover in the creative process. All of our products are handcrafted in small batches with 100% organic and wildcrafted ingredients.
Gifts of Gaia is committed to sourcing high-quality ingredients for all of our products by supporting organic, regenerative-growth environments. We opt to make products with locally-grown or wildcrafted herbs as often as possible. All of our packaging materials for shipping are up-cycled, recyclable, and / or biodegradable.
Since I’ve found herbalism and begun to experience the ancient, complex, and very tangible relationship between plants, fungi, and people; my life has transformed in innumerable ways. I’ve felt a calling to bridge the gap between plants and people, through this medium and in other spaces. Let’s be real, there’s always been a bridge, but to make this bridge more accessible and more apparent is what drives this project!
Not only do plants interact with the physiology of the human being, but they also weave their magic and healing into our spiritual, emotional, and energetic bodies. Plants have an innate intelligence and they know us really well! We can commune with these intelligent beings in so many ways. Whether it be through a warm cup of tea, a few drops of tincture, or an herbal skin care formula, my wish is that you, too, can experience the magic and healing of herbs and fungi.
