Wise Herbal Ways
Root. Nourish. Remember. Flourish.
Welcome
Reclaiming the Wise Woman through ancestral practices + women’s wisdom
- Wild Food & Medicine walks exploring plants, history, and folklore, with time to slow down and share tea in nature. More than foraging, these walks are a reclamation—a way to reconnect with ancestral knowledge, our plant kin, and the land beneath our feet. Learning to see again, even the wild weeds become teachers—inviting care, connection, and a deeper sense of belonging.
- A Mystery School of the Wise Woman. An initiatory path into the living wisdom of plants, land, body, history, and spirit. Step into the Houses. Remember what has always been known. Through seasonal teachings, lunar gatherings, and ancestral practices, you are guided to reconnect with the Wise Woman within—slowly, deeply, and in rhythm with the earth. This is not a course to complete. It is a path to enter.
- Weaving the Feminine: A women’s circle rooted in seasonal rhythm, where we gather in community to reconnect with ancestral wisdom, the plants, and sacred, hands-on crafting.
Sage’s Cabin Podcast shares conversations with herbalists, historians, and voices in social justice—exploring plant wisdom, ancestral knowledge, and our relationship with the land.
Created to educate and empower, it invites you to reconnect, think deeper, and be part of a more caring, connected world.
Hands-on, body-based therapies to support rest, repair, and nervous system balance.
Through massage, facials, pregnancy and postnatal care, hot stones, and gentle treatments, each session offers a space to soften, release, and be held.
We work with sacred herbal oils, inviting plant allies into the treatment space—allowing their qualities to support the body, soothe the nervous system, and deepen the healing process.
This is a practice of returning to the body—where tension can unwind, energy can settle, and a deeper sense of connection and ease can be restored.
1:1 work to tend the roots of the body—through herbal support and mindful movement, restoring strength and integrity to the core and pelvic floor.
By developing a strong trunk, we create a deeper sense of grounding—allowing the body to feel supported, stable, and open to connection from within.
Movement classes (Yoga / RYC-inspired) are a practice of returning—building steady foundations, deep connection, and the quiet strength from which the whole body can grow.
Founding director and facilitator of Movement in Thyme, a community herbal non-profit bringing herbs and nature connection to marginalised communities.
We run workshops, create and share herbal products, and provide access to herbal support for people in need.
Co-founder and living history facilitator, working with experimental reconstructions of herbal remedies and the history of herbalism in the UK.
We collaborate with re-enactment events, museums, and universities to bring herbal practice to life—bridging historical knowledge with embodied, hands-on learning.

Your support enables me to work directly with Women Concern in Democratic Republic Congo. They support women’s empowerment, peace building, soil regeneration, and reforestation.
Congo has the worlds second largest rainforest, it is home to the largest and most diverse group of active hunter-gatherers in the world today, it is one of the world’s richest sources of minerals which has caused the Global North to plot and pillage resulting in devastating violence and plundering, it thus has one of the worst humanitarian crises of the 21st century, it has been described as one of the worst countries in the world for sexual violence, and witchcraft and sorcery accusations are among some of the most significant women’s rights issues leading to discrimination and stigmatization of women and girls in this area. The people are strong and dignified.
Women Concern areas of focus: Working with women accused of witchcraft, ending period poverty, ending child marriage and teenage pregnancies, rehabilitation of street girls , women’s economic empowerment, sexual and reproductive health and rights, sexual and gender-based violence, promoting women’s participation in peace negotiations, cross-community women dialogue, safe water storage, importance of latrine use, improved cookstoves, solar energy, tree planting for soil regeneration and reforestation, research to inform local and national policies/strategies and programs on gender equality.
