In this episode, I am speaking with colleague and friend, Stacey Quade of Energy for Life Connection in Duluth, MN. Like many other herbal practitioners I know, she integrates energy-based healing into her practice recognizing the importance of mind, body, and spirit health. We discuss how other herbalists can choose what resonates with them concerning energy-based healing and implement this into their own practice. We also discuss teaching the community practical skills in herbalism and nutrition, and Reading the Body (a differential assessment technique to learn what areas of the body are needing focus and attention, and comprehend the tissue states of the individual). Join us to learn more about Stacey, her journey into herbalism, her future in herbalism, and her business.

Join us in this episode as I speak with horticulturist, Patti Travioli of Heartwood Forest Farm. This organic farm is located in Cedar, Michigan. We had a great conversation about using plants in art, growing plants organically, and healing with plants through physical rehabilitation which is called therapeutic horticulture. Patti teaches in-person classes with each student having their own physical involvement with the plants through art, herbalism, and gardening. Below is her contact information and the links for more information about therapeutic horticulture as a profession.

I had the pleasure of speaking with an herbalist I met in my own community,Aly Pierce, owner of Moon Blossom Botanicals and Piercing Arrows Homestead. Aly has been on a mission of living a self-sufficient lifestyle which includes learning herbalism through self-study. We spoke about her homestead, her training, and what the future holds for her.
