Welcome to Byrdaire Botanicals!

I’m Tia Scagliarini, a DC local with a passion for growing things and natural wellness. I truly believe the herbal world has incredible gifts to share and that cannabis specifically has the power to heal us from the inside out, transforming our bodies and outlooks for the better.

In early 2020, I completed a graduate certificate in herbal medicine at the Maryland University of Integrative Health (www.MUIH.edu) and spent the summer planting and nurturing my backyard herb garden in Northwest DC.

After 14 years managing an Adams Morgan coffee shop, I was let go when our shop closed because of the pandemic. Watching friends and neighbors suffer from increasing anxiety and insomnia and becoming more dependent on alcohol and pharmaceuticals, I decided to put my education to use and began the Byrdaire Botanicals Instagram account in August 2020. In summer 2021, I received another MUIH graduate certificate in Cannabis Science, one of the first accredited programs of its kind in Maryland.

I am a certified food handler in DC for 14 years running. I do all of my baking and make all of my herbal infusions right here in my DC kitchen. Whenever possible, I use herbs from my own garden. Otherwise, I source from high-quality, certified organic companies like Mountain Rose Herbs and local micro-grows.

As a trained herbalist, I understand the importance of conversations with clients and customizing blends to address specific needs. No one product works for everyone, but I am here to help create or customize tinctures and medicinal baked goods to support your health and wellness goals.
