about the herbalist
 
““My love affair with nature is so deep that I am not satisfied with being a mere onlooker, or nature tourist. I crave a more real and meaningful relationship. The spicy teas and tasty delicacies I prepare from wild ingredients are the bread and wine in which I have communion and fellowship with nature, and with the Author of that nature.””
— Euell Gibbons

 

I absolutely LOVE to teach others about the amazing, health-giving, magical plant world!

 I feel it is incredibly important to pass on the knowledge of how to heal ourselves with the plants that grow right outside our doors.   Many of our common health concerns can be taken care of with common plants and it is empowering  to take part in our own healing.  As we gather and make medicine with the plants we also create a bond with the natural world which is deeply balancing and healing as well.

In my adult herb classes I like to teach about the plant world from different perspectives…

  • We learn how our bodies systems work and how the plants can affect these different systems

  • We explore the history of herbs and how plants have been used traditionally by different herbalists

  • We investigate the scientific research that has been done on the pertinent herbs

  • We may explore the herbal topic from the perspective of the Chinese 5 element theory

  • We spend time outside learning directly from the plants — exploring, harvesting, meditating, drawing the plants

  • We make medicines with the plants

  • And more depending on the topic of the class.

what past participants have said

“Every winter I have a sinus or respiratory issue.  With all the warnings about over the counter medicine, I wanted to try medicinal herbs as an alternative.  But I didn’t know much about them and it seemed overwhelming to learn. I found out about Kimberly’s 3 part Winter Wellness Series that was about the use of medicinal herbs dealing with sinus and respiratory problems.  The course was fantastic.  Kimberly taught us about the plants that would help, how they worked in our bodies and how to prepare them to use. Each class Kimberly prepared something delicious to eat and drink using the plants we were learning about. She taught us how to make tinctures, teas and syrups that we took home with us.  Kimberly is excellent at explaining medicinal herbs in a way that is easy to understand.  As a result I feel that I am developing a solid foundation to continue building my personal medicinal herb practice. I can’t wait for the Spring Series of classes.”

“Classes with Kimberly are a magical gathering of souls, all hopeful to connect in a deeper way with our ability to heal ourselves through the wisdom of plants. Kimberly approaches her classes with so much love and knowledge. Each topic feels well thought out, and flows in such a way that you can easily absorb the information being presented. The hands-on experience of working with the herbs makes for a deeper experience of integrating and acquainting with the plant friends. I have greatly enjoyed classes with Kimberly and plan to attend many more offerings from her!”
