About Angelica Herbal

My name is Dani Ortman. I am a Registered Herbalist (AHA), Certified Intuitive Coach, and the founder of Angelica Herbal. My practice brings together modern clinical science, Western herbal medicine, intuitive listening, and ancient wisdom traditions.

I have a deep reverence for the interconnected nature of mind, body, and spirit, and how they weave together to create a whole human being. Just as a medicinal plant works across multiple systems of the body at once, our health cannot be separated into isolated parts. That is why every symptom, story, and lived experience is welcome in our conversations. All of these threads make up the fullness of who you are.

The journey I walk with herbal medicine is a path I know intimately. Humans have worked with plants for millennia; just as wholesome food nourishes and rebuilds tissue, medicinal herbs offer profound, restorative support. While modern life has often disconnected us from this foundational knowledge, the plants have never left. In fact, some of our most potent allies are found right in our own kitchen cupboards and gardens.

Before dedicating myself to clinical herbal medicine, I spent fifteen years mastering my craft as a handweaver. The loom was where I cultivated gentle patience, while over twenty years of personal meditation practice taught me the art of deep listening. And through my time spent with the plants themselves, I have come to know that their medicine lives not only in their chemistry, but in their subtle energetic signatures.

Today, that patience, craftsmanship, and quiet curiosity guide my clinical practice. Rather than simply matching symptoms to remedies, I sit with you to listen to the deeper story your body is holding. Every consultation is met with reverence and care, creating a safe, unhurried space for you to reconnect with your own inner wisdom and the gentle medicine of the earth.
