I don't believe in reincarnation, at least not in terms of the cycle of death to life, but I do believe I've had many lives and spaces in this one coherent stretch. An old friend once told me (when I was still quite young and knew a lot) that we change every seven years. I laughed and disagreed, but in hindsight I can truly say she might have been on to something. OK, maybe not exactly every seven, but every six to eight years I've gone through a major life change. So, I've been daughter, orphan, wife, mother, widow, stepmother, teacher, student and now herbalist. I'm 48, and my career is just beginning.
I fell in love with herbs late in life, not having a grandmother or mother who knew anything about them. It was, in fact, a younger friend who lured me into this fascination, by handing me herbal remedies that were incredibly effective. I was hooked. It didn't take me long to look for my own teachers and the rest is history. I've finished three beginner courses, one intermediate course and an advanced case study course. I just finished my Master Herbalist certification, run a funky little Herbe Shoppe and am offering consultations, while I also teach my own beginner courses and workshops.
I don't believe you have to be special to work with herbs. They can be our friends and allies no matter what our walk in life. You don't have to be psychic or gifted or even just a little bit intuitive.
Plunge into the green and emerge powerful, knowing you too can be responsible for your own health and healing. What an amazing feeling to be in control of your body and its needs!
