Sage L. Maurer is an independent practitioner and teacher of herbal healing, plant spirit medicine, shamanism, and earth-centered spirituality. In 2001, Sage founded The Gaia School of Healing in Boston, Massachusettes where she taught workshops and apprenticeships in herbal healing throughout the year. Sage has trained over 80 apprentices in the past 6 years in New England, Austin, and Hawaii.

        Sage was formally trained and certified in herbal medicine at The Blazing Star Herbal School and at The Boston School of Herbal Energetics, and has studied with many herbalists such as Rosemary Gladstar, Susan Weed, Anne McIntyre, Rosita Arvigo, Pam Montgomery, Deb Soule, and others. Sage has been practicing herbal healing and plant spirit medicine for the past 10 years, though felt through many lifetimes. Through personal journeying and plant spirit work Sage has developed strong relationships with the plants she uses in medicine to aid her in life, teaching, and healing work. Trained in The Wise Woman Tradition of herbal healing, anthropology and ethnobotany, she seeks to help reawaken our ancient memory of healing with plants and renew a deep connection to the earth. Sage is devoted to changing the way natural and alternative health care is provided, while helping to reawaken the earth-honoring traditions of the past.

         In late 2004 Sage moved to Oahu, Hawaii to study anthropology, ethnobotany, and Hawaiian herbal healing for two years. During her time in Hawaii, she experienced the healing power of Pele and Hawaii's native plants, while journeying through the medicine and spirit of the island's rainforests. Sage is now currently teaching in Southern Vermont where she will be offering apprenticeships and workshops throughout the year in Western, Hawaiian, and Eastern herbal traditions.
