Anna Claire Lotti

Anna Claire is a clinical herbalist, holistic wellness coach, and avid nature-lover residing in the ancient Appalachian mountains of North Carolina. Throughout her childhood, she spent countless days exploring the wonders + depths of the Carolina coastal waters, eventually following that passion and earning her collegiate degree in Marine Biology. After learning more about the human body and how it interacts with the world around us, she pursued graduate studies in nutrition, and was finally led by the plants to study the art + science of herbalism. She is a graduate of the Holistic Herbalism and Advanced Clinical Herbalism programs of the Blue Ridge School of Herbal Medicine in Asheville, NC. In her practice, Anna Claire channels a unique combination of Western herbalism, Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and plant spirit medicine to help others achieve a sense of empowerment + vitality in their wellness journeys. Since her first travels to Peru in 2016, Anna Claire has studied the path of Andean wisdom under the wise tutelage of P’aqo Victor Chura Quispe of the Q’ero nation. She works with the Peruvian medicine bundle {quipu}, and offers sacred mapacho tobacco ceremony + clearings in the tradition of Peru’s northern coast. Over the years, Peru has become a “soul home” of sorts, and a place of deep transformation + healing. It is part of Anna Claire’s mission and life work to share this special place with others, introducing them to new perspectives + experiences, cultivating connections with her teachers and other locals, and sharing in the Peruvian wisdom teachings and the art of sacred reciprocity. She is a certified Level 2 Shamanic Reiki practitioner and a forever devout student of the sentient natural world.
