"I think the most important thing that I learned from this course is that herbs can be a reliable, consistent and powerful way to support my mental and emotional health. I've tried antidepressants before and have felt the intrusive yet supportive way that they bolster my consciousness. The herbs that I had an affinity for were both more subtle and more profound, leading me to states of well being that I wouldn't have imagined possible. The other important thing that I learned from this course is that I can cultivate a direct relationship with certain plants and in addition to the benefits that they can give me, the relationship itself makes me feel more whole and connected to my world. The way it has changed me is that I feel like there are supports there for me that are not only accessible but beneficial for my overall health in addition to supporting my mood and mental well being. It feels so great to be supported by nature!"

"I loved learning from someone who just loved herbs! Your passion is amazing. You helped me go back to the way our ancestors did things and see single plants work in real time. I was tentative about it being online, but the group experience being held in such a safe and participatory way really made this work. My own reflective practice and then hearing the group’s experience while not knowing what the herb actually is was so powerful. As time went on I was able to listen better, and work out what the plant was telling me. I can now continue to do this practice with other herbs in my life, and keep learning in this powerful way. This course really developed my confidence in herbs actually working. I now know that even if I only had 10 plants to work with, I could make them work for almost anything."

"This herbal allies course format of 'blind trialing' each herb is genius. It allowed space to truly listen and experience each herb's character and properties within the unique environment of my body. Having this strong journey with each herb strengthened my ability to learn and retain a deeper knowledge of the herb. The additional layer of sharing this journey within a group truly highlighted the concept that herbs work differently for each of us. Finding my herbal allies has been truly life altering and nourishing experience."
