1:1 Home herbalism session

You’re promised a warm welcome in my home and herb garden, when you join me here at the Honeybee Sanctuary for a 1:1 session in Seasonal Herbalism for holistic health and wellbeing.

These 1.5 hour workshops are guided by the seasons and the herbs. Set in the relaxed, energising space of my apothecary kitchen and garden, we explore and make remedies to support healthy mind and body.

Come on over and delve into a particular interest, or let the plants of the season guide us on what’s available to connect with now.

My focus is always on promoting relaxation, and seeking balance for our mind-body systems. It is not about diagnosing or treating symptoms, but rather creating the setting for natural remedies to bring us back to balance and wellness.

When we connect with herbs mindfully we can support self-healing and take positive steps to re-balance what is out of alignment in the emotional, mental and physical body. I use ‘herbs’ in the broadest sense, to include trees, seaweed and herbaceous perennials - benefitting from their healing properties and respectfully and sustainably make herbal preparations from them. Past 1:1 workshops have explored:

• Herbs for gut health,

• Immune system support,

• Anti-inflammatory herbs to manage arthritis symptoms,

• Alternatives to shop-bought cosmetics (face / hand cream, lip balm, natural deodorant),

• A herbal first-aid box,

• Sea swimmers warming, nourishing, and circulatory support herbs.

I teach techniques in Seasonal Herbalism to show you how anyone can support their health and wellbeing by (re)connecting with herbs. I aim to create an inspiring setting, a relaxing atmosphere, and a gentle, nurturing environment in which to share in practical herbalism with nature and the seasons as our guide.

• You’ll typically take home 2 herbal remedies, learning the preparation techniques;

• You’ll receive a follow up email with a PDF of notes and references discussed;

If you are buying a Home Herbalism experience for someone else, I can send you out a notecard for you to gift. We can then coordinate on a suitable time to hold the workshop.
