Weaving together mind, body, spirit

Welcome. My name is Dani Ortman, and I am a Registered Clinical Herbalist (AHA), Certified Intuitive Coach, a practitioner of energy medicine and founder of Angelica Herbal. In 2025, I graduated with highest honours from Pacific Rim College, completing over 500 clinical hours and more than 1,200 hours in biomedical sciences and Western herbal sciences.

As a lifelong student of ancient wisdom traditions—beginning with early experiences of intuitive knowing and celestial resonance—I have studied plant spirit medicine, intuition, and energy work. Before stepping fully onto the path of the healing arts, I spent 15 years mastering my craft as a handweaver, specializing in textile arts and plant-based dyes.

My personal journey is grounded in practices such as Vipassana meditation, dreamwork, breathwork, womb awakening, soul retrieval, and mindfulness practices. I believe that learning is a lifelong process, and I thoughtfully integrate new skills and insights in order to more fully support my clients on their own multidimensional healing journeys.

Philosophy

In this space we root ourselves in great reverence for the body’s miraculous ability to heal. We know that the same intelligence that creates worlds, also moves through every one of us.

We invite the intuitive, energetic and quantum realms of healing, and weave in the remembering of knowledge that is woven deep in our bones. We honour the sentience within all that is, and the wisdom of plants as wise-ones and wayshowers.

We remember our place as humans residing within the sacred celestial womb of Mother Earth, and we embrace our part in the great cosmic dance.
