My love of plants stems back to my earliest childhood memories of playing with forget-me-nots in the wildflower patch at the front of our house, and I’ve had herbs in my hands ever since.

I first started studying herbal medicine at the age of nine when, on a family camping trip with my dad, I visited a medicinal herb nursery called ‘Hexham Herbs’ and bought my first small herbal medicine book describing the virtues of all of the plants they grew. This book has been treasured on my bookshelf ever since, as my herbal book collection has slowly taken over my house.

In my astrological birth chart, I have a Sagittarius rising sign, which means that I love adventure and travel. This has taken me across the world to wild places learning about the healing powers of plants, giving depth and insight into my herbal practice. From visiting witch doctors in Cameroon, to herb farms in Tasmania, to essential oil distilleries in France, foraging wild plants in the woods of Wales, and growing herbs on the stormy coast of Sussex.

I’m back in my home of East Yorkshire now with my family and looking forward to slowly taking root with my herbal practice here.
