The earth has music for those who listen.

Herbal Workshops

One-off workshops

Whether you're looking for uniquely educational entertainment for your child's birthday party,  a bespoke workshop for your club, or you'd just love to offer your friends an amazingly nourishing wellness circle -


I would love to hear from you!


I currently teach five cohorts of children on the prestigous Junior Herbalist Club course, have introduced over 800 adults to botanical apothecary skills, and create seasonal workshops for my local community. I'm devoted to connecting people with the plants in a way that empowers us to take charge of our own health! When we work with our hands on the healing herbs of the earth, we address humanity's disconnection from the natural world and regulate our frazzled nervous systems.  


Practical skills in medicine-making is what we need at the heart of every healthy self-sufficient community. 


Join me for flower-fuelled fun, plant potions, and the magic & myths of traditional remedies.
