Consults

Founder and herbalist Jenny Qaqundah, RN, has been working with herbs for over twenty-five years. After earning a bachelors in liberal arts, environmental education, and feminist studies, she delved into therapeutic herbalism, studying with many of the greats, including Master Herbalist David Hoffman, and starting Jenny Q‘s Herbals in 1995. Jenny sold her first herbal manufacturing business, Joshua Tree Climbing Products, to finance both her Nursing Degree and the opening of Grateful Desert in Joshua Tree, CA, in 2011.

The shop continues to be a vital community healing, arts and eco-goods center, and a home base for the aromatherapy bar and herbal line.

In 2019 Jenny and her family left the desert for the rainforest, and in 2021 Grateful Desert expanded to Oregon with the opening of Grateful Rain, in downtown Astoria.

Jenny Q sees clients internationally, creates special formulas for her clients, and has formulated for the patients of naturopathic physicians. While she consults for specific health concerns, her goal as an herbalist is to facilitate optimal system strength and balance.
