Jess Bergeron is an ethnobotanist, herbalist, and founder of JKB Kitchen, a modern movement reconnecting women and families to the ancient art of kitchen medicine. With a background in ethnobotany from the University of Hawai‘i and years spent studying with traditional healers around the world, Jess bridges ancestral wisdom with practical, everyday herbalism.
Her work empowers mothers and home healers to make their own medicine—from teas and tinctures to broths and beauty rituals—using the herbs and spices found right in their kitchens. Through her beloved Kitchen Medicine Mentorship, the JKB Kitchen Collective, and a growing library of ebooks and guides, she’s teaching thousands to reclaim confidence, creativity, and connection through plants.
Rooted in her family’s daily life on Kaua‘i, Jess’s approach blends science, story, and soul. She’s redefining what it means to be a modern herbalist—accessible, joyful, and wildly alive to the medicine growing all around us.
