This time last week I taught my first ever Herbal First Aid ⛑️ workshop. I’ve always seen teaching as an important part of our role as herbalists. As our access to mainstream healthcare becomes more limited, we need to go back to the old ways of self treating as much as possible with what we already have.

Plus, if I’m honest, I don’t think the way most herbalists source medicines, including myself, is sustainable. Much of my stock is herbs 🌿 that grow locally, but they’re imported from eastern Europe. Would you believe that 4 stockists I’ve tried are currently out of Nettle leaf?! It’s probably one of the most common ‘weeds’ in the U.K. for all but about 3 months of the year!

Luckily I can, and will make some. It’ll take a month or so, but it’ll be made with love ❤️ and extra special.

Using herbs is easy when you know how. As well as befriending your local medical herbalist, you could join the Herb Society and learn from the lovely magazines they send you 3 times a year. You’ll also get a discount off my workshops! The next one is on Winter Wellness and that’s in September- are you coming? .

Sssshhhhh 🤫 Don’t tell anyone, but for the last 2 years, Kate Huet MNIMH and I have been working hard on an online business skills course for herbalists, naturopaths, and other CAM practitioners. So I spent yesterday with Kate in her beautiful 😍 herb 🌿 garden putting the finishing touches together. I even got a cuddle 🤗 from little Poppy here, and Fred the mouse 🐁 scuttled about whilst we were recording. We’ve written this course because so many talented practitioners close their practices within the first few years simply because they haven’t been taught how to set up and run their practice. We’re needed now more than ever, so this is our effort to show students and new graduates everything we’ve learnt from our many years of experience. If you’re a CAM practitioner who wants your practice to thrive but don’t know where to start, this is for you! We’re very excited to be launching 🚀 soon, so keep an eye out on here for more updates.

Meditation, if you can stick with it whilst you learn, will transform your life.

I speak from personal experience. Once upon a time my mind wouldn't stop chattering, and in the end it made my life a misery. I couldn't afford therapy, so I tried a meditation class instead.

I went every week and although it was hard at first, I kept going until I started seeing little changes. My mind was quietening down. I wasn't reacting to everything that went on around me, and I was a generally happier, calmer, nicer person.

That was a long time ago now, but like everyone, I've had some more challenging times over the years. My one constant though has been meditation, which has kept me on a much more even keel than I would have been otherwise. Plus I've made lifelong friendships with people I've met at my meditation groups.

So whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in chronic pain or ill health, or you just want to love life more, why not give it a go? We're meeting this Wednesday evening at Beckie's Tea Room in Cleobury Mortimer, and Friday lunchtime at Spiro clinic in Ludlow. We start with 20-30 minutes of gentle guided meditation, followed by tea & chats.

All the details are via the link below, or you can message me if you have any questions.

Friendly meditation classes in south Shropshire, meeting in Ludlow, Cleobury and Bridgnorth.
