She was raised with a never-ending curiosity about plants and the natural world. However, it wasn't until after college when many of her family members started to get sick that she wanted to educate herself about wellness and healthy living. Arvolyn enrolled at Twin Star Connecticut's School of Herbalism and Energetic Studies where she spent 140 hours learning about Foundational Herbalism. It was in this program that Arvolyn's world opened up to the beauty, power and sacred practice of Herbalism. 

Arvolyn started Gold Feather Shop in 2016. She always had a way of finding fallen feathers when out in nature and sees them as a reminder of her ancestors.
