Dr. Taylor Rose Wondergem, PhD

educator, herbalist, and Coach

I’m Taylor Rose. Wonder and Roses is a container for the work I do as an educator, herbalist, and coach. I am devoted to love as anticapitalist praxis, believe that another world is possible, and am committed to ancestral healing. I am dedicated to unlearning, in a felt, heart-centered, deeply embodied way, how racial capitalism shapes my body, experiences, and ways of relating. I’m a white, cisgender, queer femme with working class roots who is neurodivergent and was raised catholic in the midwest (currently pagan, living on the west coast).

I hold a PhD in feminist and critical race and ethnic studies, and bring a decade of university teaching experience to Wonder and Roses.

In addition to being a passionate educator, I’m a practicing herbalist with training in folk and clinical western herbalism. I hold experience in crisis support, sexual health education, birth work, death work, as well as in communications and coaching.

I am an alchemist, and am skilled in facilitating transformational change. My offerings weave together my unique set of skills and training to bring you holistic, trauma informed coaching, workshops, and programs that offer loving support through life’s seasons and cycles.
