Rooted in the earth,
made for you

Hello, and welcome. I’m Norah Hazelgrove, a community herbalist here in Richmond.

In 2025, I founded Bon Air Botanicals to make everyday herbal support affordable and accessible: nourishing tea blends, daily wellness tinctures, soothing salves and balms, and aromatherapy, all handcrafted in small batches.

My path here wasn’t a straight line. For about 15 years, I worked in corporate roles—building systems, supporting teams, and learning to communicate clearly. Alongside that work, I’ve spent more than two decades practicing yoga, meditation, and energy work, and I’ve taught at studios across Virginia since 2010. That practice led me to herbalism in 2019, and the two have been intertwined ever since. The patience I learned on the mat and the attentiveness I learned at work are the same qualities I bring to every remedy: noticing what it needs, never rushing, and trusting that steady care brings good results.

My practice follows the Vitalist tradition and draws on Folk herbalism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda to care for the whole person in body, mind, and spirit. I source herbs from my own garden, local regenerative farms, and the native habitats where each plant grows most potent. Environmental health and human health guide every choice I make, from sourcing to packaging.

I believe herbalism works best alongside conventional medicine, not in place of it. I also believe that healing begins outdoors and in good company—with our neighbors, elders, healers, and local botanists.

I’m continuing to deepen my studies in the Clinical Herbalism Program at Herbal Medics Academy and working toward becoming a Registered Herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild. On my Substack, @astroherbalistva, I write about reciprocity with the land and the ways plants and the planets shape our well-being.

I honor the healers who came before me, and I see this work as one small part of a larger ecosystem: a chance to learn from nature and to give back to it.

Wishing you peace and good health,
Norah Hazelgrove
