About me

I am a community and historical herbalist, foraging guide and am currently doing my medical herbal practitioner training. I am the founder of Movement in Thyme CIC where I run the Herb Care project, Secret Herb Garden, workshops, and make the remedies for sale. I have been organising and medicine making with The Mobile Herbal Clinic Calais since the project began, and am a student practitioner member of The Black Flag Clinic.

I co-founded The Historical Herbalists to research the lives, medicines and beliefs of people in the medieval and early modern periods, and bring that history to life through talks, workshops and demonstrations at museums, universities and other venues. I am currently writing a book about medieval herbalism in Britain, looking at what we can learn from our history about resilience and connection.

I also create Wise Herbal Ways, an online space exploring herbal history, plant lore, seasonal connection, ancestral wisdom, journeying, memory, resilience and belonging.

I’m the creator and host of The Sage’s Cabin, a podcast bringing together conversations about herbalism, plants, healing, and the people who work with them.

I have been teaching yoga and giving massages for 15 years, and have worked with various groups of people and individuals from those looking for some relaxation to those struggling with chronic illnesses.

I work with community groups, private clients, tour operators, retreat organisers, museums and universities, and I’m available for talks, herbal workshops, foraging walks, podcasts and creative collaborations.

• The Historical Herbalists CIC  – co-founder
