Founder of Wildleaf Journals, creating guided herbal study journals for practical learn

Wild Leaf Journal™ emerged from my own journey into kitchen Herbalism, a practice rooted in curiosity, experimentation, and respect for plants.

My kitchen herbalism journey started in late 2025, after learning about all the different toxins that go into over-the-counter medicine. I wanted to learn a more natural way to care for my family. Before long, I was drowning in herb knowledge: piles of notebooks documenting herbal profiles, tea formulations, and tincture recipes scattered across notepads, screenshots, and sticky notes.

I'm an accountant by trade, which means I live for systems and organization. But when I started formally learning kitchen herbalism through Jess at JKB Journal with other likeminded students, my usual methods completely fell apart. I had plant properties scattered in one notebook, formulation recipes in another, screenshots from research saved randomly, and loose notes about what actually worked in our family.

The irony? I spend my days organizing other people's finances, but I couldn't organize my own herbal learning.

So I did what I always do: I created a system. I combined every scattered note into one beautiful journal designed specifically for what herbalism beginners actually need. No fluff, no overwhelming layouts, just guided pages that make it easy to track what you're learning, test what works for your family, and build your own herbal reference library over time.

My classmates asked if they could buy it.

That's Wildleaf Journal™. It exists because I needed it. If you're like me—juggling a job, a family, and the desire to learn something meaningful—this journal is for you.

What I Learned From Creating This

Organization matters. When you're learning something new while managing a full life, you need a system. Random notes feel productive in the moment, but they're worthless if you can't find them later. Wildleaf Journal™ keeps everything you learn in one place.

You don't need to be an expert to start. I'm not a certified herbalist. I'm a beginner learning alongside other women who are also juggling kids, work, and curiosity. This journal is designed for exactly this phase—when you're excited about herbs but still figuring out what you're doing.

Small, consistent practice builds real knowledge. As an accountant, I know the power of tracking and consistency. One herb at a time, one page at a time, you'll build a personal reference library that actually reflects YOUR family, YOUR preferences, and YOUR observations.
