Welcome, Beautiful You!
My name is Pamela.
I’ve run and operated Tug Hill Holistics (formerly known as Quaternity Holistics) for nearly 10 years.
It’s been a labor of love and showcase of my journey with my own health, wellness, and explorations with herbs.
My current work focuses on wellness through food and dietary choices. To honor where I am going with my work, please go to My Autoimmune Kitchen.
If you would like to work with me as a client, using herbs and food-as-medicine, you can contact me at My Autoimmune Kitchen or purchase a client session here.
The work of Herbalism is about reconnecting to who you are.
I became an herbalist because I went through several years of health related strife.
I had torturous periods, migraines that were getting worse, and digestive issues galore.
I worked toxic jobs that left my gut churning come Sunday afternoon. I felt like I had walked the knife’s edge for far too long. Anti-depressants and other medications weren’t helping as promised. Hormonal birth control (all eight kinds) made me feel like I was losing my mind.

Nothing seemed to be helping.
A whisper inside told me there was another way. A better way.
That whisper nudged me to try herbs.
Then, I enrolled in a clinical herbalist program. It felt like I was fulfilling my destiny. My purpose.
Every step on my path as an herbalist has felt that way.
Herbs are a source of deep creativity and spiritual connection in my life.
Because living a life using herbal medicine isn’t only about giving and taking herbs.
It’s about so much more.
Herbs are one part of the foundation of wellness and healing, the others are:
the foods we eat (and don’t eat), the liquids we ingest (and avoid),
the supplements we might take (or avoid!), t
he exercise/movement we engage in,
the psychological and emotional support and changes we make,
our spirituality/connection to Source/God/Universe/Gaia/Dao/Spirit/Life/etc,
our foundational stability (security of: food, water, housing, and income)
and the quality of social connections we have with others.
Your support of this work supports the following organizations, on a rotating, profit-based, donation basis:
The Wild Bird Fund of NYC – because in the urban jungle, the wild beings need and deserve love and care
Love Over Addiction – because I’m a survivor of a marriage impacted by addiction, and I want to help other women rise in their power
SAAFON – because I believe in food sovereignty
United Plant Savers – because our must vulnerable, endangered and at-risk plants deserve to be saved
Halau Kealaokamaile – because Maui, Hawai’i and the music of Keali’i Reichel touches my heart in deep and profound ways, and he said it best:
“Through physical connection to ‘aina (the land) our environmental and cultural kinship is rekindled and re-established.”
