Larken Bunce is an educator and clinical herbalist practicing in Montpelier, Vermont. Her life-long love affair with plants called her to study the healing arts in 1994 and she has since been a devoted student and practitioner. She holds a Master of Science in Herbal Medicine from the Tai Sophia Institute for the Healing Arts and a Bachelor of Arts from Goddard College, where she focused on Western herbal medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, nutrition, counseling, and bodywork. Larken holds certificates in Zen Shiatsu and Swedish/Esalen Massage from the Heartwood Institute and has studied mind-body skills at the Center for Mind-Body Medicine in Washington, DC.

In addition to her private practice, Larken’s passion is sharing her craft through education. She serves as faculty in the Health Arts & Sciences program at Goddard College, as well as acting as the Education Coordinator for PlantMedicine, an international non-profit dedicated to disseminating evidence-based and traditionally-supported herbal information to the healthcare community.

Larken believes that the heart of healing work lies in reminding us all that we belong to each other and the land. Her idea of "good medicine" is an afternoon spent in a field with a harvest basket, a blue sky, and the sun on her face. Getting good and dirty while digging juicy roots is a close second…
