Herbal Health and Healing Arts

Are you feeling like you need a break--stressed or close to burnout--and need a safe, restorative space to recharge and relax?

Are you feeling like you have neglected your own self-care--spending all of your time taking care of others while ignoring your own needs--and need a safe, restorative space to focus on your needs?

Are you facing a life transition or need some introspection--spending all of your time being busy and not being particularly happy with your current situation--and need a safe, restorative space to reclaim your personal power?

Join me and my amazing equine coach, G, for a weekend retreat for women in my beautiful retreat space in Independence, Virginia September 27-29, 2024. This all inclusive residential retreat features private bed/bath accommodations, equine experiential activities, yoga, journaling, gourmet/healthy foods, herbal medicine making, nature hikes, and ceremonial fire.

Message me for additional details and to determine if this experience is right for you. Spaces are limited, so contact me today to secure your participation in this incredible weekend.

Happy Summer!!

Feeling a little sluggish, maybe not sleeping great, or just not feeling your best?? Perhaps, your liver needs a little help with it's daily detoxification process. Now is the perfect time of year to clear out some stagnation and get things working optimally in your body--fresh fruits and vegetables are plentiful.

My LOVE YOUR LIVER Challenge has become increasingly popular every year, so I have decided to offer a Summer Edition August 1-21!!

You do not want to miss this opportunity to refresh and rejuvenate your system. Reach out if you want more information or check out details @ https://www.herbalhealthandhealingarts.com/events-and.... Register TODAY.

Early Bird Registration Ends July 20, 2022.

Sunday morning contemplation. Take it all in.

Hope you have someone like this in your life and I hope that you will allow your beautiful sun radiance to be there for others.

Did you know that your liver is on the frontline of your immune system response? It is ideally positioned to detect, capture, and clear bacteria and viruses that enter the body. Wow!

Your liver might be the most important barrier between you and the outside world!

Efficient functioning of the liver is also key to maintaining good gut health, and the gut plays a key role in our immune system as well. Actually, most of our immune system response resides in our gut!

So, you can see the cascade of events that might happen if the liver is bogged down from an over accumulation of toxins and can’t perform the daily clearing that our bodies need each day.

Sometimes, the liver needs a little support to function at its absolute best. The LOVE YOUR LIVER CHALLEGE is the perfect solution to kick-off 2022. This is not an extreme juice fast nor is it a program designed to weaken your body. LOVE YOUR LIVER is designed to gently provide support for the liver and digestive system so that they can perform the functions that nature intended.

Instead of focusing on what you will eliminate, we will focus on what you will bring into your life—healthy, satisfying meals, delicious herbal teas and beverages, yoga practice to help stretch the fascia over the liver meridians, and a sense of community as we move through the 3 weeks as a group. It is definitely a win-win.

Make this investment in yourself and your health. The past 2 years have shown us that taking care of our health is the most critical investment that we can make.

Register today (Early-bird registration ends Monday, January 10, 2022 @ midnight). I am so excited for you to get the health results you seek. Make 2022 your most healthy year ever.

What foods are you eating daily to help your liver function properly?

Did you know that those dandelions growing in your lawn are actually a SUPERFOOD? They are higher in many vitamins and minerals than kale or spinach. They are nutritionally dense and full of antioxidants. The leaves have strong diuretic properties and help detoxify the blood after a long winter of eating heavy, fat containing comfort foods.

Sprinkle young leaves and flowers (be sure to harvest from an area that is free of herbicides and pesticides) into your salad or sandwich as they taste like a spicy arugula. Add a simple dressing of lemon and olive oil and you have one fantastic detox supporting meal.

For more mature leaves, blanch them first, then sauté in a bit of olive oil with garlic. YUM!!

Make friends with these amazing spring greens. Support your body's natural detoxification processes by nibbling the flower and leaves as soon as they start to appear in your yard.

Needless to say, the last year has presented many new challenges for us all, especially with regard to our health. As a result, more people have embraced the importance of self-care but may not have the comfort level needed to incorporate plants and herbs into their plan. To provide safe, effective self-care for yourself and your family, you may need to seek out some guidance and support.

How confident are you that you are choosing the right herb or plant remedies for simple health issues?

Do you know how to make your own "medicine" with plants and herbs?

Would you like to have someone gently guide you to selecting remedies to support your self-care?

In March, I will be hosting a 6-session, virtual workshop that will be based on the book by Dr. Martha Libster, Gentle medicine Balance in Body and Peace of Mind. We will meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8 pm (ET) via zoom to discuss the book, share experiences about self-care, and make medicine together to support you and your family during these challenging times.

The book and experiential guide are included with registration and will be mailed directly to you.

Registration is limited to 9 people and the registration deadline is February 15, 2021. However, I am offering $10 discount if you register by Sunday, February 7 with coupon code: EarlyBird.

Further details can be found at

This is one opportunity that you do not want to miss. You will gain the knowledge and confidence that you need to incorporate plant remedies into your daily self-care. I hope to see you in March.

This is certainly becoming my journey...

With everything happening in our world today, the practice of Self-Care has never been more important. Would you like to confidently incorporate plants and herbs into your daily Self-care practices?

Starting March 3, I am offering a virtual workshop (Gentle Medicine For Balance in Body and Peace of Mind) focused on Self-Care and medicine making while partnering with herbs and plants. Registration deadline is February 15, but you can save $10 if you register in the next 72 hours (by February 5) with promotion code: EarlyBird.
