My Philosophy
As a general philosophy, everything I know I learned from nature - whether the nature of the outdoors, or my own inner nature and body, or the natural world of the unseen. Plants (and animals) have voices, and I was fortunate enough to recognize them from a young age. I have had many special experiences in nature that continue to strengthen my awe and faith in it.
Most important to this book, Botanical Body Care, is that I have had many key experiences in learning about healing through my own body and the experiences of those I assist, whether clients, customers, or family members - the partnership between plants and people is amazing and sometimes unpredictable, and it is the mystery of the unpredictable that science has difficulty with.
My special interests/hobbies include (but are not limited to!); travel (learning and writing about other cultures), languages, hiking, crafts (papermaking, card making, knitting, watercolor), poetry, music (penny whistle and guitar when I have time), gardening, cooking, singing and dancing.
