About Allegra

Allegra Wolff, owner of Gothic Apothecary, is a folk herbalist, massage therapist, yoga instructor & teahouse owner. She started her path with plants 20 years ago. Allegra graduated from Naropa University in 2005 with a B.A. in Contemplative Psychology, concentration in Health & Healing and a minor in Yoga. There she was introduced to various modalities of healing in traditional medicines. Since then she became a yoga instructor and massage therapist in 2008 while growing passionate about Herbal Medicine and nature as a teacher.

In more recent years, she trained under Marysia Miernowska in the Wise Woman tradition of healing at the School of the Sacred Wild. This has emphasized her relationship to plants and the power of harmonizing with the elements of nature. She has recently graduated from its Advanced Herbalism and Botanical Food Medicine program.

Allegra has been practicing plant spirit meditations since 2020 and guiding them to the public since 2023. She can’t seem to stop creating herbal formulas and in various forms such as teas, herbal syrups, tinctures, glycerins, and infused oils (which are used in her bodywork practice).  She has been practicing massage therapy since 2008 and is currently licensed in the state of Colorado. Her massage technique combines an intuitive blend of deep tissue, lomi lomi, trigger point, myo-fascial therapy, pin and stretch, cupping, energy work, cranial sacral, shiatsu and acupressure.

She is also available for herbal consultations for those with questions about which teas or extracts might best suit their current lifestyle or needs. She creates a custom plan as well as custom blended medicine following these consultations. Allegra has been touched by plants and their spirits in such a profound way that she is eager to share with you and empower you to strengthen your connection and inherit relationship with the natural world.

This apothecary of tinctures (alcohol extracts), oxymels (vinegar extracts), glycerites (vegetable glycerin extract), and balms presented to you in the shop are from herbs she’s developed deeper relationships with over a handful of years. She has alchemized them together in sacred ritual space with connection to the spirits of the plants & nature’s elements with love and pure intentions. She is always ready to create something specific if you need-don’t be shy to request.
