Cameron Strouss: Event Leader Bio
Cameron Strouss is the founder of Deep Roots School of Foraging & Herbal Medicine in Birmingham, Alabama, where she's spent 17+ years studying plants and 9 years in clinical practice and 13 years teaching people how to utilize herbal medicines safely and effectively. She holds a BS in Biology, is a Registered Herbalist (RH) with the American Herbalists Guild — where she also serves on the Board of Directors — and is a Certified Aromatherapist and Master Gardener. Her teaching style is rooted in the Southeast (she grows and forages in Central Alabama), grounded in both traditional plant wisdom and current research, and built around one core idea — if you can cook, you can make herbal medicine. Cameron has taught thousands of students through her online programs and in-person events, including the Southeastern Foraging Conference, and she's known for making clinical herbalism feel accessible, science-backed, and fun. When she's not in the apothecary, garden or woods, she's probably outside with her daughter, Wren, looking for something worth nibbling on.
