Audrey Gilbert MA. CCH., is a certified consulting hypnotist, life coach, herbalist, writer and healer. She graduated from Yale University, where she was trained to think and write and where she developed a passion for the interplay of word and image, especially as agents for healing the mind.
Prior to her current work in the healing arts, she served as a teacher in the public school system, where she taught the power of poetry to shape the human experience through archetype and symbol to mixed-ability classes with many disadvantaged students. She left public education to study herbal medicine and spent many seasons with her hands in the soil, listening to plants and developing her intuition in close relationship with the earth.
Certified in herbalism, hypnotherapy, and dreamwork facilitation, Audrey’s approach is both practical and poetic, blending dreams, tarot, and plant wisdom to help others access their inner guidance and self-healing potential. She has trained with renowned dream teachers Robert Moss, Toko-pa Turner, Kelly Sullivan Walden and Dr. Clare Johnson. She has trained in herbalism for over a decade, including advanced studies with The Herbal Academy, the Eldermoon School of Herbal Medicine, and with many acclaimed herbal teachers and wise elders, including Rocio Alarcon and Rosemary Gladstar.
Audrey is the founder of Holistic Hypnotherapy, her private practice in which she supports individuals and groups in fostering healing, clarity, and transformation. She regularly leads dream-sharing circles, teaches workshops, and facilitates community divination practice groups. She is also a founding member of the Plant Wonder Collective and serves as a council leader in the Green Mountain Druid Order.
Through her work, she helps others listen more deeply— to their dreams, to the plants, and to the quiet wisdom within.
Audrey lives in Vermont’s Upper Valley, a region known for its vibrant local agriculture and strong sense of community. She makes her home at Cobb Hill Cohousing, an intentional community where she helps steward a collectively owned farm and forest. There, she tends her garden, keeps bees, and co-manages a thriving herb and flower enterprise.
