Ella Gluckman is a weaver of multiple modalities. She has experience as an artist, educator, birth worker, herbalist and natural perfumer. She began crafting and creating with a variety of mediums as a child. Her art work currently focuses on the creation of ecologically sustainable clothing, ritual textiles, and sustainably made jewelry. Her perfume and herbal work draw upon Ashkenazi and Jewish traditions, with a deep desire to decolonize plant work and honor the healing practices of her ancestors.

Ella attended college at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. It was there that she began her journey with plant and ancestral medicine through classes and self guided studies. Upon leaving university, she decided that she wanted to deepen her knowledge of holistic health practices and shortly after trained and worked as a birth doula. She studied plant medicine on her own before attending Ohlone Herbal Center, where she completed their clinical herbalism program. She also completed a massage program in Oakland, CA that focused on working with people living with chronic illness and trauma. Ella has also trained with Mandy Aftel, a natural perfumer, in Berkeley CA and has trained as an aromatherapist as part of her herbalism training. Ella is currently studying Community and Trauma counseling with an Art Therapy concentration at Jefferson University in Philadelphia PA so that she can offer ritualized, community folk art therapy practices to communities impacted by trauma.
