I do not offer services, I offer a lifestyle.
I do not work, I create.

I am not a regular Herbal Clinician,
I am a Botanical Revolutionary.

The Village Herbalist

A Village Herbalist aims to be a conduit for community health, focusing not only on the physical, but the social, creative, psycho spiritual, emotional and environmental needs of the collective.

Understanding that the vitality of an individual is affected by the surrounding social and ecological landscape.

The Village Herbalist listens to the narrative of those she sees and co-create protocols with clients, valuing their opinions and trusting the guidance of their bodies.

The Village Herbalist teaches clients how to make their own applications;
Whether you need an tincture, capsule, poultice, tea, herbal steam, decocation, infused oil or balm, she will make the remedy for you from mainly wildcrafted or home-grown herbs, and teach you about the application so you may go home understanding the herbs and how to use them.

The Village Herbalist values Education, and will always endeavor to inform clients so they gain deeper understanding of their own experience. 

To me, learning the way of the herbs is a particular language – it infuses the herbalist with a sense of botanical romance… it speaks softly through leaves, the stomata’s open themselves to breathe dew onto the landscape, onto your skin, where it evaporates and becomes clouds… 

The lifestyle comes from a curiosity, and a paying attention...
It comes from a wandering, and a wonder... an awe... a gratitude and appreciation for the world that glitters green. 

What I offer is Radical Botanical Education, and when you see me as a client my priority is to assist your education about your own health, giving you autonomy and trust in your body's own ability to heal.

The Village Herbalist cares...

Are you ready for a Botanical Experience?

My aim as an artist and  practitioner is to support clients to achieve the quality of life suited to their needs

I tailor my sessions to listen carefully to your needs, and your bodies innate wisdom and intelligence

I encourage creating and maintaining a relationship with the botanical world, rather than using it extractively

I consider endangered plant species and prescribe herbal medicines that are ethically sourced as much as possible

Your body already knows

Your body, mind and soul are a story, and I would like to listen to the narrative. 

Making Remedies isn't reserved for the 'professionals'. Health autonomy begins with creating a relationship to the ecosystem which you are a part of. Growing, foraging, wildcrafting and making your own personalized remedies is one of the most empowering and healing processes.

Learn about the experience

These sessions are tailored to those who wish to receive in-depth herbal support and care, and are willing to commit to ongoing sessions to achieve the quality of life you are interested in achieving.

  • Start mapping your inner landscape, and access the quality of life you would like to lead. I will then take time to link together the threads you have given me, weaving them into a tapestry with your next visits.

    In our bespoke clinic we will go through traditional herbal diagnostic techniques, and an in-depth consultation, which will help evaluate your specific constitution and the plants that will best support you.

    We will be mapping your physical, emotional and psycho-spiritual terrain using both traditional western herbal and biomedical approaches, weaving the modern day science with time-honoured vernacular to bring a true holistic understanding of your context.

    We will then prepare your herbal remedies, teaching you how you can best support and nourish yourself through botanical applications and lifestyle practices.
