Bonnie, our Herbalist on an Herb Walk with students
Community Herbalist
Healing with Nature
My community is in southeast Minnesota where I see clients from infants to our wonderful elders. I love taking care of the community around me.
I am a professional Herbalist, trained in analyzing and treating health issues using the holistic approach, now in my nineth year of practice. Studying medicinal plants has been a passion of mine since 1994.
My mentor in my herbal training is Rosemary Gladstar, I am a graduate of her Apprenticeship II program. A very intensive 2 year program, not only involving learning the Art of Herbalism and plant medicine but also commuting from here in Minnesota to the Green Mountains of Vermont . I am also a graduate of her clinical and advanced training program.
Other courses completed involved studying with Matthew Wood, the Organ Systems and Herbal Medicine, Holistic Diagnosis with Margi Flint and Dennis Anderson. Further education involved Women's Health, the Lymphatic and Endocrine System, Plant Spirit Medicine, Plant Energies and the Medicine Wheel, along with Clinical Practicum, Anatomy, and Herbal Medicine Preparation.
Clinical Herbalist's whom have impacted my life and practice are Rosemary Gladstar, Margi Flint, Phyllis D. Light, Paul RedElk, Matthew Wood, Karyn Sanders, Amanda McQuade Crawford, and others. I have attended classes and seminars with these phenomenal practitioners and have gotten to know them and it has made a very significant difference in my practice and how I interpret energies.

"Man can never excel nature in medicine manufacture,
for she makes the best one."
quoted from -Juliette de Bairacli Levy
Plants are whole beings as we are. They seek to put us back into balance through mind, body, and spirit.
"Isolating an active constituent from a plant is an affront to nature. It is like taking the intelligence and leaving the wisdom behind."
Deepak Chopra
