The name Helleborea is inspired by the Hellebore plant, a herb steeped in rich folklore and mystical history. Known for its resilience and strength, the Hellebore has long been associated with both healing and protection, often appearing in ancient rituals and stories as a powerful symbol of transformation. In choosing this name, Amanda honors the plant’s dual nature—its delicate beauty alongside its potent, sometimes dangerous, properties—reflecting the complexity and depth of her work with herbal medicine.

Helleborea draws upon the wisdom of these ancient traditions while weaving them into a modern practice, bringing forth the healing essence of plants in a way that is both grounded and visionary.
