I am excited to share my passion and knowledge of herbal medicine looking at the folk law history, Materia medica, and constituents of herbs. Exploring the many different ways that herbs can help in everyday living.

These workshops have been created with the hopefulness of introducing you to get to know herbs on a more personal level and identifying the many different properties they have.
These workshops are designed to encourage you to become more confident in selecting herbs for you to make your own personal tea blends with confidence.
