Intimately connected with the plant world from an early age, Lupo Passero has studied botanical medicine from a variety of perspectives. A mother twice blessed, Lupo has a first hand passion for helping the family enjoy healthy and holistic experiences with pregnancy, childbirth, children and teenagers. Her humble beginning with herbs and flower essences as a young mother in the 90's inspired her to learn and go on to teach others. Shortly after moving back to her home state of Connecticut after, Lupo launched Twin Star Herbal Education and Apothecary in New Milford, where she continues to share her passion for the natural world. A Newtown, Connecticut native, Lupo has worked extensively promoting the concept of Herbalism in Action, using herbalism to help support communities after tragedy, after closely using the wisdom of the plants to help support her community of Sandy Hook. She and her family currently reside close by. When she is not traveling and teaching she can be found in her medicine wheel garden or traipsing through the woodland, almost always with her camera in hand.
