Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here!
My name is Zoë Klimek and I am currently practicing as a Placenta Encapsulator, Doula, Holy Fire II Practitioner, and Master Herbalist. I work with friends and families all over Northern MN and am connected to Bayfield/Ashland area as well.
I am very passionate about plants and herbs, birth work, energy healing, and art, this work feels so important to my heart and soul! These categories all seem to weave together just as we are all connected. We are balls of energy and from the birth portal on, I believe it’s important to support our bodies- the energetic, physical, and emotional- with herbs, energy work, and art (among many other things) while we’re on this journey called “Life.” I envision a world with more happiness and less suffering and dis-ease. A world where humans feel empowered to heal themselves and each other. Most importantly a world where we recognize ourselves in one another and the land- for we are not separate. This is not just a dream of the future, it’s happening now. It would make me so happy to connect and support you, wherever you’re at in your journey.
My education consists of:
•Doula Certification by DONA
•Low Intervention Birth Strategy Training
•Tending To The Mother, Herbs for Pregnancy Training
•Placenta Encapsualtor Certification by Brilliant Birth Academy
•Blood Borne Pathogen Training
•Food Handlers Safety Training
•Beginner & Intermediate Herbalism Apprenticeship through Green Wisdom School of Herbal & Botanical Medicine
•Master Herbalism Program through Green Wisdom School of Natural and Botanical Medicine
•Free People’s Herbal Clinic
•Usui Holy Fire Reiki Level II
•A.A. in Dental Assisting from Hibbing Community College
In the warmer seasons I love to be on the water, camp, work in the garden, forage, add to my apothecary, and wildcraft medicine from the Earth. In the cold winter I like to hibernate and sew, paint, and craft a wide range of things. All which can be found under the “heART” tab, or on my Instagram & Facebook page @ Emerald Heart Creations.

My Story
Over the last few years I have worn many hats in my “career.” I studied Dental Assisting at Hibbing Community College and practiced in an Orthodontic environment for 3 years following. I felt that wasn’t for me and decided to leave everything behind that summer. My best friend and I did “van-life” for 2 months out of my Chevy Equinox on the West Coast. WOW! That was that quite the adventure! A few weeks into that we booked 1 way tickets to Maui for the fall. We flew out with no plans and roamed for 2 weeks, then landed a gig on the Big Island on an off-grid farm for a few months. The land scooped us up. Residing there, my relationship with the land & the art of simple living grew deep. My host mother was a midwife and herbalist and taught me a ton about both. I was so inspired, I finally felt the spark I had been searching for! I felt it deep in my heart that I had met her for a reason and that birth and plant work were in my future. I returned home to MN in the middle of winter unsure what to do next, until I came across a Doula training flyer. Ah-ha! That was my calling into the birth work realm. I attended that and knew I was in the right place. That spring I dove deep into the foraging rabbit hole and couldn't wait to get out to explore the land below the snow. Then summer came along and I attended a Beginner Apprenticeship through the Duluth Folk School/Green Wisdom SNBM to deepen my knowledge with the green life that surrounds us. I also had the opportunity to become attuned to Usui Holy Fire Reiki through training with my Reiki Master. I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to practice that yet but knew it belonged in my toolbox. Winter 2023 came along and I became fascinated by the process of preserving the mother’s sacred medicine, which lead me to attain my Placenta Encapsulation Certification. In the summer of 2023, I attended Green Wisdom’s Intermediate Herb Camp. In January of 2024, I graduated from Green Wisdom School of Natural and Botanical Medicine’s Master of Clinical Herbalism program. My thesis project was focused on creating my own Oracle Deck, Guidebook, and Flower Essence set to use in my Reiki and Sound Healing sessions. This project was named “Wildflower Whispers” and is a beautiful, unique touch to my energy work.
It has been busy few years packed full of knowledge and wisdom but I feel so blessed to have had these teaching waltz into my life. Now comes the time where I get to tie multiple skills together to provide the best services I can to friends and families, in alignment with my highest potential and gifts. Now, I am practicing Reiki and Energy Healing sessions at R&R Spa in Duluth, MN, and Birthwork, Encapsulation, and Clinical Herbalism on my own. I continue to work on my heART in my spare time. I am so grateful to be able to do what I truly love & share my passions with the world in hopes of making it a better place.
