Artesian Cheese Making 101

In 1979, I graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in Elementary Education and worked for Central Wyoming Disabilities & Wyoming Adult Disabilities for 4 years as an Educator/ Workshop Trainer for special needs adults.

I was first introduced to Herbal Medicine by my Grandmother and I have very fond memories of making soap with my Father; being a student of Yoga for many years the green of the earth started to call me. In 1982, I moved to Florida, I took my first herbalist course from Clayton College by mail and just fell in love.

My children were raised on Herbal Medicine and my daughter uses some of the remedies I taught her as a child . After much reading of Gladstar, I enrolled in her online courses and found her style of teaching a breath of fresh air but still wanted a more clinical study because I wanted to teach others how to heal themselves.  In 1989, I enrolled in The School of Botanical Medicine in Orlando FL. 

This comprehensive herbal studies program was almost 3 years long at that time, I went on to take two graduate level clinical courses there as well.  I have also studied intensively with other respected herbalists and continue my studies actively to be able to share my knowledge of the body and its amazing knowledge to heal itself .

I'm a professional member of the American Herbalists Guild (A.H.G) For more information on the Guild, visit their website at www.americanherbalistsguild.com. I have taught classes in Herbal Medicine, Organic Skin Care, and Natural Soap Making throughout the southeast, including the  Women's Herbal Conference and the Florida Sustainable Agriculture Conference.
